We all want to achieve great results and reach our goals. However, many of us struggle to consistently achieve the results we desire. One reason for this may be that your daily habits are not aligned with the outcomes you hope to achieve.
Firstly, it's important to understand that our brains are wired to form habits. Habits are automatic patterns of behavior that are formed through repeated actions. Once a habit is formed, our brains are trained to execute it with minimal conscious effort. This is beneficial for conserving mental energy, but can also be problematic when your habits are not aligned with your desired outcomes.
By aligning your habits with your business and personal goals, you can create a powerful synergy between your brain and your behavior, making it more likely that you'll achieve the results you desire. As a leader, it's essential to regularly evaluate whether the results you are expecting are aligned with the habits you follow each day.
The brain is a remarkable organ that is constantly adapting to our environment and experiences. When we engage in a behavior repeatedly, we create neural pathways that make it easier to perform that behavior again in the future. As mentioned the implication of this is that our habits are wired into our brain, making them automatic and effortless.
Do you recognize this in your leadership or personal life? If your habits are aligned with the results you want to achieve, your brain is more likely to support your efforts and make them easier to accomplish. On the other hand, if your habits are not in alignment with your goals, your brain may be working against you, making it more challenging to achieve the desired outcomes.
Therefore, it's crucial to assess your daily habits and routines to ensure that they align with your business and personal goals.

How to build strong relationships with your customers: cultivate habits that promote empathy, active listening, and effective communication.
How to increase your sales revenue: establish a habit of reaching out to a certain number of potential clients each day, or regularly attending networking events.
How to improve your team's productivity: establish a habit of holding weekly meetings to set priorities and goals, or encouraging breaks and rest to prevent burnout.
On the personal sphere…
How to improve your physical fitness: develop habits around regular exercise, healthy eating, and adequate sleep.
Neuroscience has shown us that your habits are formed through a process called neuro-plasticity. This refers to the brain's ability to change and adapt in response to new experiences. When you repeatedly engage in a behavior, your brain creates neural pathways that make it easier to execute that behavior in the future.
The more you repeat the behavior, the stronger the neural pathway becomes, making the behavior more automatic and effort-less (that is less effort not without effort).
This means that if you want to develop new habits that support your desired outcomes, you need to consciously and consistently repeat those behaviors until they become automatic.
You can do this by breaking down your goals into specific, measurable actions that you can repeat daily and by celebrating your wins! Celebrating your wins is also crucial in this process. The happier you are about something the more you will want to do it. At a neuro-chemical level your brain will release dopamin helping you keep the consistency in the new habit.
Many of our clients have tried to do this on their own. Those who succeed tell us that it took longer and they wished they had come in touch with us earlier to save time, energy and effort. Some are very happy to have us as a sounding board helping them in the process of creating new leadership habits that positively affect their careers and personal life.

Practical Exercise
Take a moment to reflect on the results you are currently expecting in your business.
Are your daily habits aligned with those outcomes?
If not, what new habits can you establish that will support your goals?
Once you've identified the habits that will support your desired outcomes, commit to repeating those behaviors daily.
Keep in mind that developing new habits takes time and effort, but the benefits are well worth it. With consistent practice, you can create new neural pathways in your brain that support your desired outcomes and ultimately lead to greater success.
