"A nail is driven out by another nail. Habit is overcome by habit." Desiderius Erasmus

I was riding the train in to the office last week and I listened to this profound podcast. This particular podcast was by a business coach, who has been helping teach for more than 40 years.

He said there is only one thing that separates success.

It's your habits

We've talked about this many times, but I think it is so important to getting healthier and then maintaining that.

If you've ever done a "diet" and lost weight, then gained it all back, probably more too, then your habits weren't changed.

If you've done a boot camp fitness program, lost weight then proceeded to go back to your old ways, then you really haven't changed.

If you even go to the chiropractor, feel better, then quit going for a few months and your symptoms return, you haven't changed your habits.

If you start an exercise program and get derailed easily, then it isn't part of your regular routine. That habit hasn't stuck.

We could go on for a while, and if you pick a problem and you still have it, your habits need some tweaking.

Not your will power, not your discipline, your habits.

A person can be morbidly obese and want to lose weight and you can blame them for having no willpower or discipline, but that's not true. When times are stressful they have a habit of reaching for snack cakes and diet soda, instead of carrot sticks and celery.

They may actually have tremendous willpower to seek out sweets in the grocery store. The willpower is just misguided with bad habits.

The underlying problems still remains...the habits.

What if you really want to change something? We are now into spring. Summer is right around the corner. Do you want more energy? Do you want to lose weight? Do you want to be stronger? Have you failed in the past?

If you have then you didn't follow this formula. You won't change a habit and make a breakthrough unless you flow through these.

#1 commitment #2 courage #3 capability #4 confidence - feels really good

Commitment always comes first. You can't gain new skills unless you commit to doing that. If you follow the 10,000 hour rule to get very good at something, you'll quit long before that if you aren't committed.

Courage feels awful. You've committed yourself but don't have results yet. This is the hardest stage because it isn't fun. If you decide you are going to change your diet, it isn't fun at first. Junk food is engineered to taste amazing. They use chemicals to alter your sense of taste. You won't see results right away.

If you have a problem in your spine and it's been building for years, it isn't fun fixing it. The benefits of fixing it far outweigh the consequences of letting it go. You won't see results right away, especially if there are decades of damage. When I was 20 I had a big scoliosis. Now, it's all gone. I've potentially added 10-20 years to my life and saved untold misery. I've seen a patient die at 59 of complications from scoliosis. She let it go.

Capability is now needed. This is the fun part for me. I like learning. You need skills. This is why I wrote the class series Rebuilthealth.com. Part one is just the basics. But, like starting with commitment, they are important to your overall success, and most people don't do them. Years ago, it took my wife and I about a year to switch our diet.

Confidence in your new skills or health or fitness or whatever is the end result. You are now the master of that skill and your habits are rebuilt to support that skill. Once you do them long enough, donuts won't tempt you, and soda has no power over you.

What habits do you want to change?
