Lecture on Paradigms and How to Change Them

Introduction

  • Discussion on the topic of paradigms and their influence on life.
  • Importance of teaching paradigms at an early age.
  • Paradigms control people's lives and often lead to frustration.

Understanding Paradigms

  • Definition: A paradigm is a habitual way of perceiving, doing, acting, and living. It's akin to culture within countries, companies, or families.
  • Prevalence: Paradigms exist at multiple levels:
    • Countries
    • Families
    • Companies
    • Individuals

The Role of Paradigms

  • Paradigms are conditioning that control behavior and results through the subconscious mind.
  • Our conscious knowledge does not necessarily change behavior.
  • Common examples include:
    • Parents not understanding why their children act the way they do.
    • Salespeople and students not performing despite knowing better ways.

Changing a Paradigm

  • Addressing undesirable results by altering the cause:
    • Example: Difficulty waking up in the morning.
    • Solution: Place an alarm clock away from the bed, mentally commit to getting up immediately upon waking.
  • Repetition of new behavior patterns over weeks can lead to a change in the paradigm.

Process of Change

  • Identify results you wish to change.
  • Determine the cause of current results.
  • Change the behavioral pattern to result in new outcomes.
  • Recommendation to change no more than two patterns at a time to avoid being overwhelmed.
