6 Simple Ways To Help Change Someone Else’s Behavior
For someone to change their behavior they have to be ready to change and when they are there are people out there that can help them move to where they want to go
No matter what, you can change the way you behave and there are people out there to help you.
Yet many don’t realize the way you are helped can come from simple human traits that many of us have naturally.
Here are 6 simple ways another person can help change your behavior:
1. Listening is one of the most underrated skills there are.
And most human beings avoid truly listening even though it can help many other people around them. After all, we were born with two ears and one mouth yet so many people utilize their mouth more so than their ears. And not everyone is an expert or qualified enough to talk about another’s issues yet their words mean so much to another person.
Especially, if there is an emotional connection with them.
2. Talk therapy can help change people’s behavior but not as much as you think.
There are reports that it can help only one-fifth of the time but others say that it can help up to 60% of the time instead. Yet many also note talk therapy can be as effective as using drugs.
But for sure in many cases the basis of these psychotherapies work to some degree.
Because they allow people to receive a therapeutic impact from talking through their problems.
3. Yet you must be open to change if you are to attempt to make changes in your behavior happen.
Because many people look for a big change in their lives but aren’t open to allowing others to help them. Rather they commit to the techniques they use or the qualifications that the person has. Yet firstly, you need to be open to the other person completely before you can be assured of getting the most change in where you want to go.
And in being so that demands that you’re open to their trust.
4. As trust is huge in change.
And for two people to work together there must be a firm trust from both sides.
If you think back to when you were young you probably trusted someone in your family. You may be trusting of another person because they looked after you when you were very small and that’s why you`re allowing them to dictate your behavior now. After all, if you`ve grown up with your parents many of the things they said or did in the early days shaped your behaviors before you even became aware of it.
But as you grow into your adult years, become formally educated and more experienced in life you need to question what your parents say to you.
Not that all they say is suddenly questionable but you need to ask yourself does what they say and feel align with what your plan for your life is or not?
Because although your parents probably care about you they are generally speaking from their range of life experience but that’s only based on their life and not yours.
And if you’ve already decided that your life is going to be different than theirs then only part of what they say is going to be relative anyways.
It’s the same with your friends or anyone else around you.
Yet if you chose someone else outside of your bubble to open up to you must first give them your trust and full approval. Because without it your behavioral change aided by their skills and abilities is not fully possible.
5. If you want to change your behavior you can do so by having another person to be accountable for that change.
Because a lot of people who want to change find it’s difficult to do it alone.
They may feel uncomfortable about being unable to share their wish to change with others. But if they find someone they feel they can be accountable to them it makes their drive to change easier to sustain.
By having another person to encourage you to alter your ways you’re giving them the license to be there for you and show you the benefits of having new behavior in your life.
And with one other person, it can attach objective normality to the process of change. Because after all no man is an island and being there when you want to be different is very lonely.
6. The easiest way to change people’s behavior is to actively do something different.
Because whatever you’re doing in the first place isn’t working so somewhere in your mind you`ve discovered that you need to change it. And being aware of this is a huge first step to going forward. Without understanding this you`ll be stuck repeating the same old behaviors over and over again and in a loop that will get you to where you always were.
And that’s not going to get you to where you want to go.
But how long does all of this take?
It takes time and most people aren’t patient enough to put it in to change.
Yet if you do that’s where you will begin to see your true ability come to the fore for the good of not only you but many in your life as well.
