“I am the captain of my ship, I am the master of my soul.”
—William E. Henley
What drives behaviors?
Behaviors are actions over time that aim to make life better, for self, progeny, extended kin, and everybody else (in that order). They are the result of the discrepancy between your goals and your present life, and are influenced by past exposures and learning. The current state and past trajectory of your body, mind, environmental circumstances, culture, and addictions all come into play.
Changing Behaviors
The fastest way to increase your life success is to give up on addictions (A), which are distracting you from achieving your life goals. Next is culture (C)-adopt a new/better self-identity. Then environment (E)-access resources and remove inhibitions. Then mind (M)-improve how you feel, think, and your knowledge. Then body (B)-improve your health, energy and abilities. Then life itself (L)-preserve, multiply and improve your genes (progeny).
Increasing Life Success fast = A > C > E > M > B > L
Tools
There are many tools out there that help you improve your life. Whole industries. The important thing is to take stock of where you are, do something about it, and track your progress. We have developed a simple but comprehensive app called Life x Mind, that helps people do that. It can be profitably be used by anybody, but coaches, therapists and clinicians find it useful with their clients/patients.
Live. Happier. Longer.
