The Power of Core Beliefs in Change

Lasting change requires three essential beliefs: that change is a must, that I must change it, and that I can change it. Believing that change is a 'should' leads to procrastination, as merely wanting to change lacks the urgency necessary for action. For example, someone may acknowledge the need to lose weight, but without recognizing it as a must for themselves, they often won't commit. Furthermore, believing 'I must change it' shifts responsibility from others to oneself, fostering accountability and empowerment.
