Excerpt from the Foundation of Change One Habit, Change Your Life

Welcome to The Foundation-your Foundation for changing your habit. Here's where you lay down the motivation, commitment, and passion that will carry you through the rest of the program-and the rest of your life.

During this segment of the program, don't try to change your habit. Just let it be. But do try to avoid the "last supper" attitude, as in "This is the last two weeks I'll ever get to do this, so I'm going to go overboard." Right now, what we're trying to do is:

Increase your awareness of your behavior.
Set a baseline for your behavior, so you can see positive results later on.
Consciously develop your motivation and commitment to the point where you can rely on it later.
Make you conscious of the extent of the behavior you're trying to change.
Give you tools that you can use long after these six weeks are over, and
Leave self-discipline and self-control out of it for now.

Although some exercises in this workbook may sound like New Age horse hockey, they are all proven techniques that work. It helps if you set aside a specific time each day to do the exercises, and if you're consistent with them. Sometimes, you may want to go back and redo an exercise after you get a new insight. That's great! Go right ahead! Or you may find some exercises that do absolutely nothing for you. That's OK too. That is why I'm offering you so many tools and techniques. You know that old saying, "If the only tool you have is a hammer, you see everything as a nail." Well, I intend to give you hammers, saws, pliers, screwdrivers, wrenches-a full tool box filled with options. You can try all of them out and decide what works best for you. Notice I didn't say, "What is easiest." I said, "What works best."
