1. AWARE — becoming conscious of your current/old self. In this step,
you rst discover your beliefs that are in con ict with the change you
desire to bring in your life, and then become aware of how you
operate (i.e. think, feel, and act) out of these beliefs.

2. ASPIRE — creating an inspiring vision of your future.

• Determine a future event you want to witness as the new-self.

• Get juicy about the details and list 3–5 great things that will come true
with the unfolding of this future event.

• Now visualise yourself in the future event and notice how you would
feel and how you would behave as your new self.

3. ACT — demonstrating becoming of your new self. It is where you plan

speci c actions every day to demonstrate becoming of your new self.
In this step, list 1–3 important things that you should focus on doing
every day. Remember, the main thing here is to keep the main thing
the main thing. In prioritising your daily tasks, ask yourself the
following question — completion of which task would take me closest
to the future event? Visualise yourself in the future event every day
and recall the feelings that you identi ed during the “ASPIRE” phase.
These feelings produce the emotional charge (or the energy) within
you to activate your subconscious mind and helps to register a new
belief that re ects your new destiny.

Section D

1. Attitudes, beliefs, and values are closely related concepts that in uence
our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. They play a signi cant role in
shaping our perceptions, decision-making, and interactions with others.
Attitudes refer to our overall evaluations or feelings towards a particular
person, object, or idea. They can be positive, negative, or neutral and
can be in uenced by our experiences, social norms, and cultural
background. For example, if we have a positive attitude towards
exercise, we may be more likely to engage in physical activities regularly.
Beliefs, on the other hand, refer to our acceptance or conviction of the
truth or existence of something. They can be based on our personal
experiences, education, or cultural background. For example, if we
believe that smoking is harmful to our health, we may avoid smoking or
discourage others from smoking. Values refer to our fundamental
principles or standards that guide our behaviour and decision-making.
They re ect what we consider important or desirable in life and can be
in uenced by our cultural, religious, or personal beliefs. For example, if

we value honesty, we may prioritise telling the truth even in di cult
situations. The impact of attitudes, beliefs, and values on behaviour can
be signi cant. They can in uence our motivation to act, the choices we
make, and the way we interact with others. For example, if we have a
positive attitude towards education and believe that it is valuable, we
may be more motivated to study and achieve academic success.
Similarly, if we value kindness and respect, we may be more likely to treat
others with empathy and consideration. In summary, attitudes, beliefs,
and values are important factors that shape our thoughts, feelings, and
behaviours. By understanding their impact, we can better understand
ourselves and others, and make positive changes in our lives.

2. Habit formation refers to the process by which behaviours become

automatic and habitual over time through repeated exposure and
reinforcement. Habits can be both positive and negative, and they can
have a signi cant impact on our daily lives and overall well-being. One
example of habit formation is the habit of regular exercise. Suppose
someone wants to establish a habit of exercising daily for 30 minutes. At
rst, this behaviour may require a lot of e ort and motivation, as the
individual has to consciously decide to set aside time for exercise each
day. However, with repeated practice and reinforcement, the behaviour
becomes easier and more automatic, eventually becoming a habit. The
process of habit formation typically involves three stages: the cue, the
routine, and the reward. The cue is the trigger or reminder that initiates
the behaviour, such as seeing a gym bag or setting a reminder on a
phone. The routine is the behaviour itself, such as going to the gym and
exercising. The reward is the positive outcome or reinforcement that
results from the behaviour, such as feeling energised and accomplished
after a workout. To establish a new habit, it's important to identify a cue
and a reward that are meaningful and motivating. For example, setting a
reminder on a phone to exercise at the same time each day and
rewarding oneself with a healthy snack or a relaxing activity after the
workout can help reinforce the habit. Overall, habit formation is a
powerful tool for creating positive changes in our behaviour and daily
routines. By understanding the process of habit formation and
implementing e ective strategies for establishing new habits, we can
achieve our goals and improve our overall well-being.
