And on Mondays, I've created a feature called Modeling Excellence Monday. And it really comes from what drew me to hypnosis and the precursor to hypnosis for me was neuro-linguistic programming. And at the very core, it had a wonderful premise. And that premise is that you can get what you want if you model the beliefs and strategies
of other people, that you don't need to reinvent the wheel, that if someone has a strategy that works, you can model that strategy and implement it into your life. And what I found is that the NLP process of elicitation and modeling is really good to figure out what the thing is. And there are endless books telling you what to do.
And people are more than welcome and willing to share their strategies. But why is it that we are surrounded by infinite information and yet very little of that information actually changes
who we actually are and what we actually do and that's why modeling excellence monday is about me taking these strategies either from thought leaders or experts or people that are very unique in a certain area and eliciting the strategies and then turning it into a hypnosis session Now, one of the world's most famous thought leaders when it comes to habits is a gentleman called James Clear.
And he has a book, very famous book called Atomic Habits. And there's certain principles in this that uses behavioral psychology and other elements of psychology so that you increase the probability of breaking a habit that doesn't serve you or introducing a
a habit that is useful for you and there's various techniques like habit stacking and creating these chain reactions linked to rituals all very useful but there are seven key components that I want to address now because you're going to hear them in this hypnosis session. And number one is all about identity. And here's the interesting thing.
A lot of people are trying to change their behavior, but their identity is incongruent with that. If someone believes at the very core that they are a smoker and they try and quit smoking, eventually a smoker smokes. So the worst thing you can be is a smoker that doesn't smoke.
And if you look at a smoker on a plane where they can't smoke for maybe nine, 10 hours of a long haul flight, they are annoyed and frustrated and cranky because they are a smoker. That's their identity. But the behavior means that they're not smoking. And I want you to think about who are you at the identity level so that even if you change your behavior, it would be incongruent.

Chapter 2: How does identity influence behavior change?
One mistake never defines anyone. A snack or a treat here or there doesn't suddenly make you fat. And just as one success doesn't make you successful, one failure doesn't make you a failure. It's the accumulation, the pattern, the trend, the broad direction And, perhaps, your unconscious mind can appreciate just how liberating that is.
And I wonder, who do you want to be, and what do you need to do consistently to vote for that identity? You walk through the village, the village is behind you now, and you arrive at a house, and this house has an unusual quality, in that it changes people, and not through force, not through persuasion, simply through design. In one room, healthy food is visible and accessible.
In another room, books rest exactly where hands naturally reach. The walking shoes wait beside the door. The distractions are distant and difficult, and the useful things are close. People who enter this house often believe they have become more disciplined, but they haven't. The environment changed first, the behavior followed,
perhaps there is a wisdom in recognizing that success often comes not from becoming stronger than temptation, but from becoming wiser than it. Designing a life where the desired behavior becomes easier, more obvious, more attractive, more natural, as though the environment itself gently nudges you, beckons you toward becoming the person you want to become.
You leave that house where everything useful has no friction, and all those bad habits have lots of friction, and as you leave that house, You walk towards a wide valley, and no longer in the forest, the forest is behind you. But in the distance, you see two travelers, both heading in different directions. And at first, they seem almost side by side, the difference between them barely visible.
just a slight variation in direction. One degree, one small adjustment, almost nothing. And yet, as time passes, that small degree of separation means the gap widens and widens and widens. until eventually, they arrive in completely different worlds. And perhaps, that is how change really happens. Not through revolutionary change or dramatic transformation, but through evolutionary change.
tiny decisions repeated consistently. The small improvements, the small corrections, small votes compounding, accumulating, building quietly beneath awareness. But every traveler occasionally stumbles. Every gardener misses a day. Every musician skips practice every now and then. Every athlete has an off day. And every human being is imperfect. And the people who succeed
not the people who never miss. They are the people who return quickly, without drama or overanalysis, and without self-criticism, without needing to turn a moment into a pattern. There is a profound difference between interruption and abandonment. A missed day changes nothing. A missed week begins creating momentum, and perhaps your unconscious mind can learn something valuable.
That recovery is often more important than perfection. returning is more important than never leaving. And what if consistency is not the absence of mistakes, but the ability to reconnect quickly after them? It's not an issue to fall down, it's an issue to stay down.
