What Really Makes Change Happen?

"Everything we do, we do out of our need to avoid pain and our desire to gain pleasure."-- Anthony Robbins

When we change the PAIN or PLEASURE association we have ingrained in our psyche, we can change how we think and what we do. These neuro-associations determine what we do.

 

Neuro-Associative Conditioning (NAC), a 6 step strategy for producing lasting change, formulated by Anthony Robbins is as follows:

State clearly what you REALLY WANT. (Most people focus on what they don't want).

1. Get leverage. Make change a MUST.
2. Interrupt the limiting pattern and break the habit's hold on you.
3. Create a new, empowering alternative. You can't just stop a behavior or an emotion; you must REPLACE it.
4. Keep doing #4 - until it's a new habit (like Nike's quote: Just Do It!)
5. Test it. Make sure it works and adjust if needed.
