you habits take time but not that much

Page 24 you habits take time but not that much. For a long time it's been calmly believed that it takes several months before we create a new habit. However size is showing that we create both chemical and physical changes in our brain remarkably quickly even within just 1 hour of stimulation. What's hard is trying to uncreate them. Positive feedback is essential. The brain needs to see a happy face into your occasional laughter to cement its neuro circuitry. The encouraging sounds of yes or good help to mark a synapse for preservation rather than pruning. Too many thoughts, too little time. One of the difficulties inherent and developing new wiring is simply remembering to do what we know we should do. We need to remember to remember, something that's quite a challenge in a week overloaded with priorities and deadline. That's why it can make such a difference having another person help us change. The reminder, the attention, the energy of knowing someone is thinking about a new habit helps create more links to the insight that we are holding or attempting to hold in our mind New line page 35 the first step to being a quiet leader is to think about people's thinking. In other words, to become passionate about improving not what people are thinking about but the way they think. There are five elements to the step. The first element is to let the other person think through their own issue rather than telling them what to do. Then you need to keep them focused on solutions. Then you need to make them remember to stretch and challenge them. You need to accentuate the positive. And you need to put process before content. Uline page 39 when people make deep new connections in their own mind there is a tangible release of energy, a discernible aha moment that fills us with a desire to take action. On a physical level, this moment releases chemicals in the body to prime it for movement. The energy created by insight is an important energy source to be harnessed in the workplace there are many drains on our energy, including restrictions, policies, politics, etc and we should be harnessing every possible energy source that might inspire better performance. Letting people come up with their own ideas a deep well of motivation to tap .
