You set a higher standard, then drift back to the same habits. Wanting different results does not change the behavior you return to when no one is watching.

I explain behavioral gravity: the pull toward what is familiar, comfortable, and easy. Learn why new standards need reinforcement and how the people and environment around you can support consistent execution or pull you back.

Show Notes:

[04:29] Point 1: People Drift Towards Their Default Behavior

[05:45] Business example: Up-and-down quarters versus a consistent process

[09:11] Mike Tyson example: New circumstances and old default habits

[11:55] Point 2: Every New Standard Requires Continuous Force

[12:15] Habit example: Reading a book instead of scrolling Instagram

[18:40] Point 3: Your Environment Determines The Direction Of The Pull

[20:24] Your environment includes the thoughts and messages you engage with

[24:51] Recap
