Jim Rohn - Habits To Build A Better You (Personal Development)

Emotional-Behavioural Patterns

Emotional-behavioural patterns seem, on the face of it, to bypass some important aspects of human psychology. Where are the mental, the energetic, and specifically the physical and will forces? Emotional-behavioural patterns seem to imply some emotion or feeling that plugs directly into a demonstration of some kind and describes some predictable line of repetitive unfolding, sounding mechanistic and negative.

So far so good, in our understanding of emotional-behavioural patterns. However, there is a place for thinking, for energy, as well as for the corporeal and motivational. Although these patterns are not a specialty in human psychology, our observation of human behaviour, both inner and outer, leads us, fairly soon, to observe the repetitive nature of human beings. Outwardly, facial expressions, bodily gestures, speed of movement, sequence of behaviour, standard of behaviour expressing values and preoccupations, predispositions, prejudices, and level of awareness are enough to have us throwing up our arms in dismay: how, in what way, and by means of what is the human animal differentiated from any creature whose consciousness emanates from and is dominated by the base chakras of fear, survival, belonging, and acquisition?

Mostly, by far, human beings live their lives in a state of emergency, under conditions of survival, fearing the worst, expecting disaster, dreaming of terrible violence, poverty, paucity, anticipating the ravages of time, the onset of distress, calamity, and failure -- in short, imagining a tragedy of life a million times worse than what will, in all likelihood, ever happen to them.

What are we to make of this? Do we genuinely live in a state of desperation anything like the one we fear? Is our state of terror in any way equal to the threat actually posed? Does our level of anxiety in any way represent a balanced response to what might happen to us?

The fear of poverty, I have noticed, is usually more prevalent in people who have access to more than average funds. The fear of death in those who are not even ill, let alone terminally ill. The fear of loneliness (in old age, for example) more present in those who seem, on the face of it, more attractive prospects for companionship. What do we make of this? Fear masquerades as panic, paralysis, and hysteria, among other emotions, hides in dread, desperation, intimidation, and hesitancy, and is thinly disguised in worry, jitteriness, and uptightness. People today are shy, distraught, contracted, agitated, tense, and apprehensive, which are all signs of fear.

The former psychotherapist, now writer, and spiritual and social commentator, Stephanie Dowrick, points out that the fear of death is part of the infant's early experience, according to Melanie Klein. Dowrick goes on to say:

This is the fear of 'nothingness,' against which humankind has throughout history woven stories to promise 'somethingness.' Heaven, reincarnation, the sphere beyond... let me know through my body that I am alive, because it is certainly my body which will be unequivocally dead. (Stephanie Dowrick, Intimacy and Solitude, p.157)

She goes on to discuss sex, drinks at the bar, and human contact as ways to avoid fear, loneliness, feelings of unlovableness, and abandonment... but the ultimate is the avoidance of death. Fear of death conceals a deeper fear, as I have written about before:

To live -- to truly live -- there is really only one fear to overcome. Only one fear because it is the one which comprises all the others. That is the fear of death. Within this mighty fear is our denial of life, our avoidance of life, our lack of courage in life, and ultimately our fear of life. Fear of death is fear of life and now you sense what the journey of self-discovery has been all about. It is the shedding of fear in the form of our obsession with survival, our terror of not existing, our urge to rise out of the ground of being and realize ourselves as (and here is the great point of choice) our individual, separate self or as the true Self. (Richard Harvey, Moksha Dawn, p.42)

The mechanics of the emotional-behavioural patterns are as effective and predictable as they are proscriptive and confining... we fear our death; we fear our fear -- but our greatest fear is our fear of life:

Emotional-behavioural patterns are the automatic ways in which we react to life-automatic because that's how we avoid risk and insecurity. We fear fear! We fear the unexpected. We fear uncertainty. Just look at someone walking into any new environment, because it's easier to observe others -- but better still look at yourself. You plan what you will say, how you act, and how you will relate. You have a repertoire of possibility and safety. You react within the parameters of these anticipated circumstances and your rehearsed "responses." (Richard Harvey, "Liberation from Conditioning: An Interview on the Sacred Attention Therapy Project")

Life is so nailed down for most of us, there is no room for the surprising, the spontaneous --for an eruption of the sacred. With regard to "the emerging sacred reality" the author Ken Carey writes:

Fear has a small role to play in Creation. It functions as a warning system, advising each creature of behaviour that might cause biological damage. Its role is to protect the physical body. It was never meant to motivate human beings. Where fear is honored as a source motivation, consciousness diminishes... The Fall occurred when human attention turned to fear... (Ken Carey, Vision, P.9, my italics)

We have arrived at a simple truth: the fear that underlies our selling-out our humanity and enacting our lives through self-imposed emotional-behavioural patterning was never intended to be our mode of living, hiding behind the anachronistic need for protection, feeling "safe" through repressing the life-force.

Fear of death is fear of surrender to Infinity.

Learn to surrender, to exist at Infinity while alive, and fear of death dissolves.

Fear of death is fear of the Unknown.

So says Adi Da Samraj in The Eating Gorilla Comes in Peace. The unknown awaits the one who sheds his emotional-behavioural patterns. It is something wonderful -- what Rumi might call "a surprise of roses" -- but then it is utterly ordinary and quite mundane. Life itself flows very close to you and when you are released from your patterning, it pours through you like a great refreshing torrent.

Dr. Romance on Winning the War Within

Do you sometimes feel locked in a struggle with yourself? I know I do. Why is it that we know what we want to do, but it's such a struggle to actually get it done? Even Saint Paul writes, in a letter to the Romans, "I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do." Even the most successful people wind up struggling with procrastination, overeating, overspending, drinking too much, saying things you don't mean, or getting involved with the wrong people. As I work with my clients, the issue of internal struggle comes up over and over again. #0160; What's going on? It's inner warfare: a fight with yourself.

Internal warfare produces a constant noise in one's mind, as the voices of opposing thoughts become locked in never-ending argument, which makes clear thinking almost impossible. Whenever the inner war rages, you will use poor judgment in the important decisions of your life, because a substantial part of your thinking ability is hampered. Just imagine trying to think in a room where two people are arguing about everything, most of the time!

When you can't think clearly:

* You are not able to understand the intuitive information you are receiving that could tell you who is trustworthy and who is unreliable;

* You are not able to evaluate all the options available to you and make clear decisions; and

* You cannot sort out the difference between realistic options and options that are too pessimistic or too optimistic to serve as the basis of a good decision.

In addition, the exhaustion resulting from constant turmoil causes you to "forget" or feel unable to think clearly about your circumstances and your actions, which leads you to be dependent on others to do your thinking for you.

As long as it goes on this way, the inner war is unwinnable, since all sides feel equally right, and equally powerful. Even if one side could win, you'd be operating at half power, unable to think clearly, or unable to feel feelings; which is what happens to many people. Just as in wars in the external world, both sides inevitably pay a heavy price.

When you learn how to manage your thinking and get all sides to negotiate and work together, you create a problem-solving team that is both intuitive and rational, creative and practical. Only when your internal war is settled, and both sides form a working partnership, can you use the full power of your thinking ability.

To achieve this inner teamwork, take small steps in the beginning:

* When feelings of embarrassment, unworthiness, shame, or fear arise, just slow down and give yourself a chance to relax.

* Don't push or criticize yourself, but reassure and encourage yourself past the problem.

Discussing issues with yourself, asking yourself questions, and comforting yourself are hard concepts to understand, because part of you is focused on others, not on yourself. Even once you understand how to confront your inner feelings, you may resist at first, because you feel confused, ashamed or embarrassed. Old, ingrained subconscious beliefs that your feelings are frightening, and that you're unworthy of attention are fighting with your new, rational adult knowledge that you are important to you.

Once you negotiate an internal truce, you can become a new kind of person, within whom both the intuitive, feeling part and the rational, acting part work together for the common good, without a "good guy" or "bad guy", or winner and loser, but seeking to solve problems so that both sides are satisfied. Negotiation, communication. and partnership become an integral part of your relationship with yourself, producing a sense of wholeness and power that give you the confidence to take risks and the motivation to get things done. It truly takes the self-image of a warrior, at times, to continue the hero's journey toward fully living life.

I wish you peace: within yourself, within your family, within the world.

7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Self Improvement by Stephen Covey

The Universal and the Particular

When you write or speak about personal growth you encounter two jostling rocks which you need to negotiate your way through. On the one hand, in your attempts to systematize or plot a course in order to give some form to the inner journey, you specify and simplify elements and sign posts. On the other hand, you must never lose sight of the individual's uniqueness. So for almost every generalization you recognize that what you propose as the rule to follow may just as easily be broken and prove to be the exception. Generalization versus uniqueness! Yet it is just this point that distinguishes authentic art and real creativity from mere daubing, hack art, and empty contrivance.

The great books, paintings, sculptures, and dramas tend to have this single point in common - they express the universal through the particular. The impersonal appears out of the personal! And this is how it should be, because in the deepest darkness of the human mystery known as the psyche an impersonal seam of truth lies awaiting the convulsions of the land of the soul and spirit, an earthquake of the power and magnitude of those that erupt and reveal mighty huge crystal caves that lay for thousands of years beneath the earth's surface.

Deep within us are the luminous, crystal caves of the soul. Reaching into them is a journey of daring. Not all receive the call to this adventure. But for those of us who are called there is an intense rightness about the path to the core of ourselves, an intense and growing realization that, without the discoveries the call yields, we remain unborn and denied the fresh vistas of life's treasures, which are so expansive, so deep, that our previous life pales in comparison.

It is as if we are waking up - and must wake up -- to some new dimension of life and, as with all calls to new life, the process begins with an invitation, a gateway, to change and transformation. This gateway is an archetype - recurring patterns in human behavior, universal symbols and motifs. But the reward demands a certain effort.

Let us draw on the myth of the heroic journey that essentially is comprised of these three elements: the call to adventure, the adventure with its trials and initiatory events, and finally the return with the gift for collective society. The journey requires willingness, receptivity, courage, resilience, faith, and surrender.

For many however, resistance or refusal to hear the call is the first challenge. For human beings are prone to delusions of safety and security. These delusions stand between them and the adventure of change and transformation. The more radical and great the adventure they are called to, the more resistance and struggle they are liable to experience. Psychologically this is known as attachment. Our first attachment is to our mother and the dynamics of the relationship and the narrative of how that evolved in our early lives comprises the familiar and "safe" holding pattern that is likely to preside over our lives.

We are shaken out of our attachment to our ordinary world. The life we have structured and scheduled around this familiarity is our comfort zone and our comfort zone can easily become the stagnant pond of our lives. We may fear the call to the unknown, hesitate at the risk involved, grow fearful of what we must give up and leave behind, feel apprehensive about what others might think of our reckless behavior, and falter at the perceived cost to ourselves and the life we have known. As we track back we can see the times in our lives when we were called to new adventure to change, to the new gateways of developing life. Perhaps a letter or an email, reading an inspiring passage in a book, or hearing a catalytic speaker who opens us up, the sight of a person we haven't met before, a challenging job offer or a promotion, the chance to move to another country... or of course starting therapy.

For those of us who persist in to the further reaches of personality work we encounter the ultimate call on the childhood egoic level that call is to finally release all.

Traveling Through Transitions? These 3 Tips Help!

Our lives ask us to rise to the challenge of change on a daily basis. But step back and think about it for a second. Do you really feel prepared for each transition that comes around the bend?

Well, today I'd like to share 3 Timely Tips that can help you successfully navigate the twists and turns of your journey as you move through the transitions that your life presents.

Tip #1: Create Your Transitional Toolbox.

Each challenge is unique. So you benefit by developing varied skills and resources for new situations. I call this your transitional toolbox. Your toolbox contains both personal skills that you can call upon in times of change and practical, concrete tools and supplies to keep on hand. For example, you might keep a stash of tasty prepared meals in the freezer to keep yourself well nourished during crunch times.

Here are some general pointers to support and sustain your resilience in times of transition.

1.     Plan ahead for transitions. The larger the potential disruption, the more time you need to prepare for it.

2.     As you plan for your transition, brainstorm a list of essentials you'll want ready access to no matter what. Then separate the items on your list into categories.

·         Within each category, identify your best sources for stocking up on necessities quickly and economically. For online shopping, you can streamline your process by creating a list of links that take you straight to products you regularly reorder. Or you can create wish lists on your favorite sites, for quick access.

·         Consider stockpiling small, inexpensive items to avoid delays that cost you time and energy when you can least afford it. You could also consider automatic shipments for items you need to restock frequently.

Tip #2: Learn from Your Successes.

Overwhelm creates amnesia. Refuse to forget your triumphs in times of transition! They offer rich lessons for what look like "insoluble" challenges... but usually are not!

Make a list of transitions you've weathered successfully. From this list, pick one or two that pertain to your current situation. First, simply be with the satisfaction of having met those challenges. Feels good, doesn't it?

Now, remind yourself of the choices you made that supported you. List practical steps in one column, and inner strengths you relied upon in another. These are all tools that are currently available in your Transition Toolbox.

There are several ways you can build from here:

·         Which of these skills and attributes can help you now? Where, and how? Create some brief action steps that you can accomplish in a single setting. Schedule them in.

·         Conduct an intuitive overview. Survey your list of successful transitions to give yourself a snapshot of how you approach change when you are on your game. Validate your capability and adaptability. Feel where in your body you access the resourcefulness and flexibility you need. This is your power center - let it be your base.

Tip #3: When You Resist Change, You Lose Momentum.

Whenever you build your life on unchanging routines, you lock stress into your life. You will forever be knocked off balance by new developments. This generates more stress, leading to more inflexibility! To break this cycle, ask yourself:

·         What change are you resisting? (Be as specific as you can.)

·         What strengths do you bring, to help you open to this situation?

·         What gains can you appreciate, as you work to recognize and release the losses?

The best preparations for the unknown involve groundedness, versatility and agility. Your transitional toolbox includes your personal resourcefulness, the lessons and energy you can derive from past successful transitions, and the staples you keep on hand.

So value your autonomy, your practicality and the concrete tools you give yourself. Combined, these provide you with the strength and flexibility to move through whatever comes your way.

Your Habits Are Your Personality

This article is to explore and test the concept of altering the personality through changes of habitual patterns for the purpose of attaining emotional freedom from fears and inhibitions, resulting in healthy self-esteem.

This is the first article in a short series about the relationship between habits and personality, and how to effect permanent, positive changes to ones personality through working with habits. This first article will give the background on habits in respect to this principle and the relationship to personality.

The method of changing habits is perhaps the easiest and most effective way to refine and change ones life.

All good and bad in our life is due to our personality, who we are as an individual. This is because our personality determines how we behave and the resulting ways people react to us.

Your personality is a collection of habits. Most of our life experiences are limited, or expanded, by our habits. For example, if you have a habitual pattern for when you wake up, if you need to brush your teeth, have a shower, do certain things you like to do, and for that you require the comforts of your own home, then you may be reluctant to travel, or not have a good time travelling. There will be resistance to different environments, and so a fear of travel or at least a limit of where you are willing to travel to will limit your experiences and direct knowledge.

There are habits for every aspect of our life. Eating, sleeping, walking, health related, and more importantly; communication, relationships and working habits.

An example of a communication habit, which will effect your relationships, is if when having a conversation, you always cut people off in mid-sentence, always interrupting. Or you may always contradict what anyone says to show you know more than they do.

Perhaps you are always justifying your mistakes and actions, never admitting when you are wrong. Or, you are a compulsive liar.

You may communicate in a way that you never say anything about yourself, and always just ask questions because you think that makes people feel better around you, but in fact it is because you do not want to open up and make a connection. You may agree with anything anyone says, and flip flop showing no opinions of your own.

These are just some examples of habits but you will find your own as we progress in this series. Not all habits are bad. We have many good habits, but again, the point at this stage is to establish that our personality is a collection of habitual, and thus learnt and formed, behaviour. Once we openly see that we are formed, then we can change any habit.

Conversely, you may have a habit of trying new things, perhaps you travel each year to a new country so you can experience new foods and cultures. Or you may have a habit of talking to new people randomly, and making new friends.

Our life experiences are determined by our habits. Habits perpetuate fears and limitations, or they can enhance our life experiences.

Now we come to the point, which is, how to improve our personality. Everyone has some flaws in their personality that they do not like which are self-destructive or limiting, and want to change, but do not know how.

The problem is that many methods are dealing with the leaves on the tree instead of the roots. If you look at the character trait, rather than the mechanical function of how the mind works to perpetuate it, it is like cutting the leaves to kill the tree, new leaves will grow back.

My proposition is that the personality is a collection of habits, and by changing any and many habits, we can change the entire personality. The analogy is that the personality is the leaves rather than the core of our being, and the psychological function of how habits are developed and maintained is the root of the problem.

By working on the root, habits, things can permanently change. The root in our method is the basis of how humans function, which is robotically and habitually, but yet unaware of this purely mechanical function. If you don't know it's broken or what the real source is, you cannot fix a problem.

Many character traits are simply acquired by the process of natural human development from birth by observation and imitation. There is no negative reason behind some habits, they just form due to your being raised a certain way, such as the use of fingers or cutlery when eating, even the way which one holds ones cutlery. Or, if you are Malaysian, you use a fork and spoon but do not use a knife, for example.

There is nothing inherently wrong with using a fork and spoon and not be able to use a knife. This is an example of a neutral habit, and one that is perfect to change. Not all habits are good or bad or formed to meet some subconscious purpose.

Some habits are just cultural and form you into who you are. And this is the key, that they are formed without any conscious thought about being good, bad or relevant, and if there is a better way.

We can all change and no longer live in the limitations of outdated methods or principles to which their purpose has degraded over generations of mindless repetition. You have a choice, if you put in the effort to change what you have been formed into, you can become more than just a normal human.

Speed of Change

Children learn fast because they do not have habits. Adults learn slowly because they are full of habits. Habits limit learning because any new information has to pass through the pre-existing habitual behaviour.

An example of the limitation to learning is if one interrupts others mid-sentence, they never hear a full explanation of things, and thus only learn half, or perhaps nothing. If you do this or know someone who does, you will also know that many mistakes are made due to someone working with partial information. Ninety percent of arguments could be avoided by the correction of this single habit.

Open Your Mind

To open your mind and overcome all negative qualities, we can use the approach of eliminating all habits, right down to the way you brush your teeth or which hand holds the fork and knife.

It is actually quite a simple thing to do, merely, do anything and everything differently, as long as it does not cause harm. For example, you would not want to start driving a car with your eyes closed instead of looking around. But you may want to start paying more attention when driving to continually check the wing and rear view mirrors and not just look in front of you, so you have a constant awareness of what is near your car.

As your habits change, so will your personality. At this point, you may resist this concept with the thought that your personality may change for the worse. The answer is in the comparison of an adult to a child. Just look at people of all ages and compare the energy, facial expressions, vibrancy; which shows their overall joy for life, and you will find the younger the person, the brighter they are.

We can all have that same youthful joy through very old age by simply returning to this one difference. To have, or not to have, as many habits as possible.

The process begins with the following exercise.

For the next 2 or 3 weeks, list every habit you have.

When you notice a habit, just put it on a list. There is nothing more to do at this point, just list them.

Examples of habits are detailed above and some other examples are:

Always have a coffee first thing in the morning.

When you wake up, you have a sort of ritual, the things you do in a specific order before you do anything else.

The way you eat, any eating habits.

How do you converse? Do you interrupt people when they talk, or have any other consistent reaction during conversations?

Any tiny little habit, or big habit is to be discovered and noted.

Book Summary: "The Alchemist" by Paulo Coelho

When Kathleen O'Grady, Founder and CEO of Raleigh Coaching, suggested that I read this book, I could tell that she was excited for me to do so... and for good reason. Coelho's book was written 25 years ago and is just as relevant today.

The Alchemist is a story about a Spanish boy, Santiago, who loves his life as a shepherd and the time that it gives him to read books and to dream. From a young age, Santiago has wanted to travel, and shepherding takes him across the country and from village to village, selling his wool. However, he yearns for more; wanting to travel farther, to experience new things, and to "know the world."

In his pursuit, Santiago encounters many people who have a profound impact on him. For example, one day, he visits a Gypsy whom he hopes can interpret a reoccurring dream in which a child says to Santiago that he will find a hidden treasure if he travels to the Egyptian pyramids. The Gypsy has difficulty understanding his dream's meaning but says that Santiago must travel to the Egyptian pyramids because there he will "find a treasure that will make (him) a rich man."

Skeptical of the Gypsy, Santiago carries on with his shepherding. In another encounter, an old man explains that a book Santiago is reading describes "people's inability to choose their own Personal Legends," which, he explains, are the things that people always wanted to accomplish. Essentially, that one's Personal Legend is their mission on earth and their only real obligation. Santiago is curious about his own Personal Legend and how near to or far from it he is.

The old man also tells Santiago of the world's greatest lie: that at a certain point in our lives, we lose control of what's happening to us, and that our lives become controlled by fate. That a mysterious force exists which, over time, convinces each of us that it will be impossible to realize our own Personal Legend. The old man tells Santiago that he shouldn't believe this lie and suggests, instead, that when a person truly wants something, the universe conspires in their favor and helps them achieve it. Santiago thinks about his many life experiences and wonders how the universe has helped him progress toward his (as yet unidentified) Personal Legend.

Another of Santiago's encounters is with a crystal merchant who doesn't like change, doesn't dream, and has owned and managed the same low-performing crystal shop in the same location for 30 years. The merchant explains to Santiago that he doesn't dream because he is afraid that if his dream is realized, he would have no reason to go on living. And that he is also afraid that actually realizing his dream would be a disappointment compared to what it imagines it would be, so he prefers merely to dream about it instead of pursuing it.

Santiago stays in that Moroccan village and works for the crystal merchant who, over time, comes to appreciate Santiago's zest for life and his pursuit of his dreams. He also comes to believe that every blessing ignored becomes a curse and eventually sees how immense his possibilities are; and that dreams are meant to be pursued, stating "there's just no way to hold back the river."

After 11 months of working with the crystal merchant, Santiago decides to travel to the Pyramids to see if the Gypsy was correct that he would find his treasure there. He has some doubts but understood that making a decision was only the beginning of things. And that, when you make a decision, you are "diving into a strong current that will carry (you) to places (you have) never dreamed of." As Santiago travels with a caravan across the desert toward the Pyramids, he senses that the closer one gets to his Personal Legend, the more that Personal Legend becomes his true reason for being.

He comes to view that the obstacles a person faces during their journey toward their Personal Legend are similar to the problems encountered by the caravan as it pressed on across the desert: large rocky areas, sand that was too fine for the camels' hooves, dried up lakes, terrible sand storms, etc. But no matter how many detours and adjustments it made, the caravan continually moved toward the same destination, just as Santiago endeavored to stay focused on his Personal Legend.

During his quest, Santiago took many chances, faced dangers, and overcame numerous obstacles, but was diligent about returning to his course. He found that the threat of death makes people a lot more aware of their lives and he came to believe what Allah has said: people need not fear the unknown if they are capable of achieving what they need and want. And he understood that once you truly commit yourself to achieving your Personal Legend, such that you can't go back, then you have to worry only about the best way of moving forward.

Eventually, Santiago found his Personal Legend during his journey to the Pyramids, but it wasn't what he had envisioned, such as material wealth or fame. Learning rather that wherever your heart is, there you will find your treasure - and to focus on being and becoming, not merely doing. He also learned that anyone who interferes with the Personal Legend of another thing never will discover his own.

He saw that people are afraid to pursue their most important dreams, because they feel they don't deserve them or that they'll be unable to achieve them. And that there is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure. But that the fear of suffering is often worse than the suffering itself.

A final thought from this book: The quest for one's Personal Legend (mission on earth) may seem to be a very future-oriented endeavor. However, Santiago learned to appreciate living in the present, and the perils of living in the past or the future. "If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it. And, if you improve on the present, what comes later will also be better. Forget about the future, and live each day according to the teachings, confident that God loves his children. Each day, in itself, brings with it an eternity."
