Colin Hiles is an expert in developing high-performance teams and is a specialist in the psychology of change In this fascinating episode, Angela and Colin discuss what it takes to step into your future self and the importance of your environment on the journey to change When it comes to setting and achieving goals you have to get the inside right but you also have to get the outside right and when you think you are stuck it could be that you need to understand and change the context of your environment Ultimately to become the person you want to be and change your behaviours you need to create and be in control of your environment or your environment will create and control you. KEY TAKEAWAYS Everything starts for anyone with future perfect thinking, setting a goal or intention that you want to be different For balance across your life set goals for health, wealth, love and lifestyle You must have a reason ‘why’ and your ‘why’ power needs to be strong enough to drive you forward We can become stuck in ‘the must be me’ paradigm because our perception is context-specific Context is the environment you are in when you are making a decision it can be either physical or physical and social When you associate with people who are part of your future focus you can make changes The strongest form of commitment is external When you set a goal you have to go outside of yourself and set a context that looks like the future when you get there Beliefs are evidence-based and self-signalling that you are becoming the person you want to be builds your belief When you begin to behave in the way your future self would, you begin to prove to yourself that you are that person Often something that causes us pain is what moves us to take action You can use both negative and positive consequences to force you into taking action Once you become the person and have the identity locked in place everything else follows Behaviour comes from identity and behaviour changes identity If your behaviours are the behaviours of the future person you want to be then you will become that person You have to understand what you need to keep doing and if you do it long enough it will become who you are BEST MOMENTS ‘Your social bubble is hugely influential and you are with either accomplices or allies’ ‘Set the environment up that supports you in making an easier choice’ ‘The ultimate aim is not the goal but becoming the person who can achieve that goal’ VALUABLE RESOURCES High Performance Health podcast series\ Transform your sleep DNA optimization High Performance website ABOUT THE GUEST Colin Hiles Colin Hiles is an expert in improving Leadership Capability, developing High-Performance Teams, and Mindset Change.
