P.S.: This is precisely what the “Behavior Echo-System”/Grunburg Behavior model teaches. 👇 » Some things are within your control and some things are not.
Worth reiterating…
GOOD HABITS HAPPEN WHEN PLANNED;
BAD HABITS HAPPEN ON THEIR OWN.
Learn more about the world’s most advanced and modern behavior model
The “Behavior Echo-System”/Grunburg Behavior Model is recognized as a genuine representation of human behavior, framed by two major components: the environment and one's thoughts/stories.
This simplified and groundbreaking framework demonstrates how energy and information flow, vibrate, and reverberate to alter one’s behaviors, habits and skills.
This reverberation creates a perpetual and personal “behavior echo-system.”
This is the first time a behavior model has illustrated how energy and information reverberate - perpetually - to influence human behavior. Everyone "lives" within their own behavior echo-system.
You can share an environment with someone, you cannot share a behavior echo-system with anyone. Your experiences, stored stories, body/DNA and perceptions are unique to you.
For clarity: It’s not an ecosystem; it IS an ECHO-SYSTEM, as in echo - reverberation.
The Behavior Echo-System consists of interconnected components (emotions and feelings are the conduits) between the environment and one’s thinking/stories.
The Behavior Echo-System model helps anyone or organization understand, guide, and troubleshoot their attempts at behavior change, personal transformation, and goal achievement.

Follow P.A.R.R., PLAN, ACT, RECORD & REASSESS - the habit development framework first published in The Habit Factor® (2010).
PARR provides a repeatable, predictable and practical roadmap for transforming fleeting good intentions into ingrained habits and skills.
**Plan, Act, Record, Reassess**
The PLAN begins with identifying “Target Days” and “Minimum Success Criteria.” (learn more here)
**ACT** upon your plan bridges the gap between intention and action/behavior!
**RECORD** your experiences (Habit Tracking) allows for self-efficacy, introspection and reinforces your intention.
Finally, **REASSESS** your actions/behaviors against your plan allows you to assess your progress and even “raise the bar” for your next 28-day habit tracking period. Following PARR is a proven way to increase Habitstrength™.
By repeating the P.A.R.R. habit tracking process for successive 28-Day tracking periods, the automaticity and habitstrength™ of any habit or skill increases.
Through this iterative, intentional practice approach - any virtue, habit and/or skill can be developed by following P.A.R.R.
