Habit 1

Adapted from Stephen Covey:“The Seven Habits of Highly Effective

people”

What is a Habit?

Habit

Knowledge(what to, why to)

Desire(want to)

Skills(how to)

Habit 1 is Based on:

I can change using:

Self-Awareness: ability to think about your very thought process.

This is why we can evaluate and learn from others’ experiences as well as our own.

Enables to stand apart and examine even the way we "see" ourselves.

Imagination: the ability to create in our minds beyond our present reality.

Conscience: a deep inner awareness of right and wrong.

Independent Will: the ability to act based on our self-awareness, free of all other influences.

Between Stimulus and Response

“Proactivity” defined

We are responsible for our own lives.

Our behaviour is a function of our decisions, not ourconditions.

• We have the initiative and the responsibility to makethings happen.

• Look at the word responsibility- response-ability-theability to choose your response.

Reactive Vs Proactive

It’s not what happens to us but our response to what happens to us

Determination Vs Opportunity

Proactive person will have self confidence , determinations Reactive person always wait for opportunity to take an initiative

Listening to our Language

Reactive Language

There’s nothing I can do.

That’s just the way I am. He makes me so mad. They won’t allow that. If only.. I have to do that. I can’t. I must.

Proactive Language

•Let’s look at our alternatives.•I can choose a different approach.•I control my own feelings.•I can create an effective presentation.•I will choose an appropriate response.•I choose.•I prefer.•I will.

Circle of Concern/Circle of Influence

Circle of Concerns: Things which we can do nothing about

Circle of Influence: things which we can control

Proactive people

focus their efforts in the Circle of Influence

work on things that they can do something about

their energy is positive, causing their Circle of Influence to increase

Reactive people

focus their efforts in the Circle of Concern

they focus on problems they have no control over

their energy is negative/critical, causing their Circle of Influence to shrink

The Other End of the Stick

Consequences and mistakes.

Consequences are governed by natural law.

Behaviour is governed by principles.

If we had the choice to make over again, we callthese choices mistakes.

Important to immediately admit and correct ourmistakes.

How to be proactive

Making and Keeping Commitments

Commitments we make to ourselves and toothers, and our integrity to thosecommitments, is the essence of our growthand clearest manifestation of our proactivity.

Power to make and keep commitments to ourselves is the essence of developing the basic habits of effectiveness

Proactivity 30 days tests
