The Secret Ingredients to Lasting Change: Insights from Jeffrey Brandler
Feeling more confident, having more self-respect, having more energy, having more hope- those are the intrinsic markers that produce health and long-term success.
Imagine setting out to change your life, only to find that keeping those changes is the real challenge. In this episode of 'Brandler Bits', Jeffrey Brandler, a seasoned therapist with over three decades of experience, breaks down the essential elements that help us stick to our goals and achieve long-term happiness. Jeffrey dives into the '12 Promises', a set of guiding principles that can be harnessed to maintain positive changes and cultivate a fulfilling life.
He explains that while discomfort often pushes us to initiate change, it's the reinforcement we receive that determines whether those changes will last. Positive reinforcement can keep us on track, but negative reinforcement might drag us back into old habits. The '12 Promises' offer a framework to build inner strength—courage, hope, self-respect, and confidence—that outweighs superficial achievements like losing weight or looking good.
By focusing on these intrinsic markers, Jeffrey suggests we can visualize and actualize a more confident, energetic, and hopeful version of ourselves. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking practical advice on making and maintaining meaningful changes in their life.
