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
