Transformation Driven
Welcome to this week's Brilliant Insights from THE V.A.L.U.E. GOAL™
In this week’s Brilliant Insights, I want to talk to you about behavior modification and how it is the wrong approach to successfully achieving goals.
The traditional approach to reaching your goal is to focus on external behavior and modifying that behavior.
Whether your goal is weight loss or growing your business, you know that there are things you are doing or not doing that keep you from reaching that goal. The traditional approach is to modify the behavior that works against your goal.
So, you use all the traditional tools to keep that behavior in line like daily habits, checklists, routine, tracking, and measurements.
Then you don’t reach that goal because guess what? Life threw you a curveball!
When that curveball hits and you don’t crush it, you begin to hear the words “you aren’t committed,” “you don’t want it bad enough,” “you don’t have enough willpower.”
You end up thinking that to reach your goal you have to sacrifice your relationships, your health, and your peace of mind.
Yes, your behavior may not be aligned with your goal. But your behavior is really just information about what is going on internally.
Editing the information will not change the source and eventually the source of that information will win.
Information does not bring transformation, conversion does.
Results and transformation are not the same thing because results are the product of transformation.
Transformation is the producer of results, not the product of results.
When you approach your goal from a results-driven perspective you use numbers, measurement, and tracking. What was meant as a motivating tool and valuable data for progress is actually killing your progress because inevitably you will compare – not your movement – but your entire success as a person to that number.
When your goal is transformation driven you are focused on who you are becoming. The real you. When you shift your focus from the results to focusing on transformation, the comparison fades away.
The best way to start your transformation journey is through what I call the alignment period. This takes about 30 days.
It’s a great tool if you are just getting started, or if you are in a season of transition, or maybe you just need a reset.
The first step is to establish your top core values for your current season.
Then you spend the next 30 days aligning your life to those core values by journaling a reflection at the end of each day and answering three questions.
What aligned with my values today?
What didn’t align with my values today?
What did I learn about myself today?
At the end of 30 days you will have gained invaluable insight to your daily life, what is really important to you, how to navigate the obstacles and you will have learned a skill set that you can apply to your goals.
