Building new habits is essential for transformation from "summary" of Immunity to Change by Robert Kegan,Lisa Laskow Lahey
In order to create lasting change, it is not enough to simply have awareness of our current patterns and behaviors. We must also actively work towards building new habits that support the transformation we are seeking. This is because our habits are deeply ingrained and often operate on a subconscious level, driving our actions and decisions without us even realizing it. By consciously building new habits, we are able to interrupt the automatic cycle of our old ways of thinking and behaving. This intentional effort allows us to create space for new perspectives and behaviors to take root and flourish. It is through the consistent practice of these new habits that we are able to rewire our brains and make lasting changes in how we show up in the world. Building new habits requires dedication and persistence. It is not enough to simply want to change - we must actively commit to taking small, consistent steps towards our desired transformation. This might involve setting specific goals, creating a routine, and holding ourselves accountable for our progress. It is through this intentional effort that we are able to break free from our old ways of being and create a new reality for ourselves. While building new habits may be challenging, it is essential for transformation. Without actively working towards creating new patterns of behavior, we are likely to fall back into our old ways and remain stuck in our current reality. By committing to building new habits, we are able to break free from the constraints of our old selves and step into a new way of being that is aligned with our deepest desires and aspirations.
