Cultivating New Habits to Create New Results
Why is this important?
Awareness X New Habits = Change
While an astrological reading does provide us with new awareness, it doesn’t guarantee change and transformation. Only when we practice new habits can we then create new and unprecedented results and have the change we’d like to see.
Identity-Based Habits
The actions you take and the habits that you have do impact the results and outcomes you get. However, if your actions/habits are not congruent with your identity- beliefs, worldview, self-image- it is much harder to practice them. Here’s an example:
Alfred wants to pass his exams. If he fundamentally believes that he isn’t someone who can pass them, it is less likely for him to sustain any studying habits since the passing result is beyond his beliefs about himself (his identity).
Hence, when creating new habits, focus more on the identity than the results you’re trying to get. Instead of “What do I want to achieve?”, ask:
Who is the person that I’d like to become?
