How do I change my behaviour? January 31, 2008

This is a common enough question; generally answered with one or more suggestions around adopting another behaviour instead. That might work for some people although I tend to agree with Einstein when he said that a problem cannot be solved at the level to which it exists.
Behaviour is one of six Neurological Levels, as defined by Robert Dilts. So, to change behaviour you might need to consider going up a level (or two) or down a level in order to find a possible solution.
One level up from behaviour is CAPABILITY (I take that as including kills, knowledge, attitudes, state and experiences) and above that IDENTITY (who I am). By considering what beliefs or limiting beliefs surround the behaviour it is most likely to be a more successful behaviour change if the limiting belief changed, or a new belief could be found.
Similarly below Behaviour is ENVIRONMENT (this includes the physical/virtual environment and the atmosphere). What changes to a behaviour might occur if the environment was different?
Let’s have your experiences and I will work this idea up further in my next posting.
