Happy New Year!
My wife and I spent the New Year in Hotel Habakuk in Maribor, Slovenia.
What a hidden treasure. Imagine all of your requests being met with a humble, genuine, warm, congruent, "it is my pleasure" - this was our experience.
The hotel is managed by the dynamic, energetic, committed, warm Iris Kociper who truly leads by example. Many of her team are a mirror reflection of her.
Iris invited me to present to her staff after attending my seminar in Monaco during the year. When told that the slopes were right across the road from her five star hotel, the deal was done!
Regular visitors will remember the nightmare I endured while attempting to ski on the first occasion a few years back. Well this time within minutes, I was back in flow and enjoyed skiing on more and more difficult courses as the days progressed.
I realised that my experience truly mirrors someone who is trying to change a habit that isn't serving them. To change behaviour at the start requires serious commitment, an understanding that pain ( humiliation for me) is part of the process, and a laser like focus on the desired outcome.
And finally if something isn't working try a different approach.
"Insanity is where you keep doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different result."
What happens next - when you get it, change the habit, the new pattern is imprinted into your subconscious and available on request.
Already people around the world have thrown in the towel on their new years resolutions - persevere, be strong, commit, learn from pain, you will change your life forever.
