    I will try to summarize everything and attempt to show how this can be done step by step.
    Those who succeeded in changing a behavior have this thing called Agency: The capacity to control our own behavior.
    You need to create your own plan. What works for others may not work for you. You need to understand what influence your behaviors.
    First, identify your crucial moments: You are not tempted 24/7. Identify which time, place, and/or people makes you most tempted.
    Second, create your vital behaviors: What do you HAVE to do when you are at risk. (If you can refocus your behaviors, not succumb to the urge, for just 3 or 4 mins, then you can get back to wanting to do your own behaviors.)
    Third, in order to achieve this everytime, you need to engage all 6 sources of influences (or at least engage most of them).
    The 6 sources of influences:
    1. Personal Motivation- Do I want to? Am I motivated? (How much do I want to change and why? E.g. Sharman used a card to keep reminding herself when faced with food temptations.)
    2. Personal Ability- Can I do it? If not, can I learn a skill to achieve it? (E.g. AJ knew her Dad was a stumbling block she had to overcome. She would succumb whenever he offered a cigarette to her. She learned how to talk to him about this issue.)
    3. Social Motivation- Do I have encouragement and support? Someone who keeps me on track? (Identify friends from accomplices. If you can’t turn accomplices to friends, i.e. they are not serious in helping you, stay away from them!)
    4. Social Ability- Do I have someone to coach me, give me feedback to improve?
    5. Structural Motivation- Do I have any rewards or incentives to keep me going?
    6. Structural Ability- Am I in an environment which helps to control my space? Is it possible to make my good behavior easy and my bad behavior hard? (E.g. Get rid of junk food in the house. Make healthy food easily available and junk food out of reach.)
    Remember, it's not a willpower problem, it's a maths problem. No. 1 and 2 derived from yourself. No. 3 and 4 derived from external help. For no. 5 and 6, you need to make plans in advance to create the environment.
    Finally, the last step is to make bad days into good data. To prevent relapse, you have to plan for what happens if you ever failed to control your behavior. Understand what went wrong, analyse it, talk to someone about it, know what to do about it, etc.
    "A plan is not a plan, until it specifies how you deal with setbacks."

      2. Personal Ability- Can I do it? If not, can I learn a skill to achieve it?
      Maybe
      3. Social Motivation- Do I have encouragement and support? Someone who keeps me on track?
      Nope
      4. Social Ability- Do I have someone to coach me, give me feedback to improve?
      Nay
      5. Structural Motivation- Do I have any rewards or incentives to keep me going?
      Not a one
      6. Structural Ability- Am I in an environment which helps to control my space? Is it possible to make my good behavior easy and my bad behavior hard?
      Not really

    This video has been one of the foundations of my improvements. I have seen it years ago when i was at my lowest point in life. In the meantime i quit smoking, i started eating healthy. I was allarmingly underweight, then got slightly overweight but eventually found my balance and i picked up a healthy gardening hobby, improving my mental stability, muscle strength and willpower. I'm on my way back to a fitting job now and i am no longer considered fully disabled. I still have challenges, but with the right placement and some support, those will likely dissove as well. This way of looking at problems in life is absolutely spot on. So many times i pictured those people pulling on the rope when i wasn't doing so well. It changed everything. Thank you so much.

    The lessons about "change-ability" in this video are profound. The most impactful for me is that *it's not all about you*. There are other elements that influence your ability to change successfully.
    You first need to be aware of what they are. Then you need to find a way to change or control those other elements so that they support your personal change effort. If you don't do that, there's a really big risk that you will keep failing. On the other hand, if you apply the lessons by controlling those other elements, the chances of you succeeding are much higher!
    Good luck to all changers! And many thanks to Al Switzler 🙏🏾

  • @SamaritanHospital

    The point about acute temptations only lasting for a few minutes is something that really helps. We are not trying to overcome a craving or strong urge that lasts for hours on end - only for a few minutes this time. Of course, in the middle of the battle those 3 minutes feel like 3 hours, but that's where these strategies come into play. And the difference between friends and accomplices is priceless. As I read this morning, "If you want to be wise (successful) walk with (hang around) wise people." "Leave the presence of a fool when you realize nothing worthwhile (helpful) is coming out of his mouth." Thank you Al.

    This is the very first time i hear of and from Al Switzler. Despite that i managed on my own to get results in my own life, by a very similar system i created to reach my goals, as the one that he describes here. It is so amazing to find others that travel similar paths with mine. Today i feel less lonely in this world than i did 19:01 minutes ago. And of course i m out there to read and watch whatever other info is out there for me to find. Thank you TEDx and thank you Al Switzler!

    I can completely relate to the circumstances you lived through. My mother was a saint to me. She too married young. Luckily for her she remained with her single mom however her older sister went to the orphanage. Her mom could not support both children by herself. After mom left home to marry at 16 she gave birth to my older sister and I. Everyone including my grandparents smoked. I remember pleading with her to stop smoking.
    She quit smoking a year before her death from emphysema and lung cancer. I was by her side, as she requested, to witness her suffocate to death at 50 years old. Both her mother and my father died from lung related disease but lived well into their 60's.

    That rope-pulling "tag of war" demonstration of willpower was a brilliant way to show and teach to the average people what is exactly going on in their mind over-and-over-again, everyday, while they cannot control themselves. The lesson here is: Do not keep any junk food in your house. If your friends aren't changing with you, then change your friends, too. It's that simple. Be wise!

    It all boils down to having a clear understanding of Self Responsibility.
    Take for instance, after years of making poor dietary choices and minimal exercise, in March of 2012 at age 41, I was diagnosed with diabetes type 2, high blood pressure, hypertension, very high levels of LDL, a low HDL, and vitamin deficiency. I'm only 5' 6" and at the time I weighed at 220 lbs with a 42" waist. My 1st visit to the endocrinologist in May 2012 I was immediately "ordered" to be put on metformin because my A1C level of 10.5 was unacceptable, he said. I slammed my foot on the doctor's brakes and said to him, I prefer to fix my problem the difficult and natural way rather than the easy way out. Give me 3 months and if my A1C level is not acceptable within said time, I will have no choice but to take the "drug".
    After changing my eating habits and went from consuming the “typical American diet” to embracing the raw vegan lifestyle, started cycling and working out, I managed to reverse my diabetes within 6 months, lost 70 lbs in the process, took 12 inches off my waist, and all of the medical issues mentioned above were permanently remove from my medical record.
    I'm down to a waist 30, 160 lbs (I've put on 10 lbs of pure lean muscle since then) and I'm now training for my first 70.3 half IronMan triathlon which will be held on March 29th 2014 in Ocean Side, CA. I have also registered to stepping up my game for Lake Tahoe Ironman September 21st 2014 in which I "WILL" qualify to do the most prestigious of them all, 2015 Kona Hawaii world championship.

TV, adds written on products and shops, and internet content have more influence than what we like to admit and there is very little regulation of this. If their influence did not work, they would simply not be paid.

    I remember when I stopped drinking booze. My daughter was four, and it was Christmas Eve. I was putting a toy carriage together, drinking white wine. My hubby would fill the glass when I was busy. Christmas Day, I spent it hanging over the toilet, puking. I decided I’d had enough, and right there, I quit drinking. My hubby laughed at me. Well, whenever I felt I needed a drink, I made a promise to myself that tomorrow, I could have a drink. As we all know, tomorrow turns in to today, and I have managed it for 34 years.

    I want to quit smoking.
    I have wrestled with it for years.
    My newly wed wife just got pregnant, and she is also a smoker.. I know that my actions influence her, and my smoking makes it harder for her to stop. We enable each other.
    I have low self esteem anyways, and often the response to that voice in my head that tells me not to smoke is: "F it." Sometimes I light up without even realizing it, the habit is so engrained.
    I haven't gone more than 24 hours without a cigarette since 2001.
    This talk was inspiring, but I am still not sure how I am going to put this information into action in my own life.
    I know intellectually that smoking is a horrible thing to do to your body, I know that it can cause all kinds of medical problems. But these are intellectual thoughts, not feelings. Like I said earlier, the feeling is often one of indifference. How do I change this?

      I gave up 6 days ago after many unsuccessful attempts in the past. 20+ a day for 25 yeras. I bought a vaporizer, so technically I am still taking nicotine, but not the other 4000 chemicals that are found in cigarettes. I have found the transition form cigs to vape very simple, enjoyable even. I will reduce the Mg of nicotine over a 6 month period. Vaping is not combustion, I still inhale, and get the throat hit, but I am inhaling vapour, not smoke. Have a think about vaping. There are a lot of vids on YT by more experienced vapors than me. Good luck.

      I remember a man in my book discussion group named Jeff. He did quit smoking. He used cinnamon curls (cinnamon bark about 3 inches long, no sugar, just cinnamon). When he felt the habit of reaching for a cigarette, he reached for a cinnamon curl instead. This method worked for him! Jeff gave up cigarettes!
      Have you looked at the quit smoking videos? Is there a quit smoking support group in your area? You and your wife should both find one and go regularly! Then you can support each other! If you there is no quit smoking group, try a hiking group or a walking group!
      And research the bad effects of smoking on pregnant mothers. I know your child is likely to have a lower IQ if mom smokes during pregnancy. She is also more likely to have a miscarriage. Find a website that with these and other facts and show the facts to your wife.
      I wish you both success and the best of health, Anthony

      x1plus1x I had been smoking for 6 years, since 1999 till 2006. I started smoking when I was 18 and I stopped smoking 9 years ago when I was 24. That time I worked in a casino like dealer. I worked for night, and almost all people around me were smoking, clients and colleagues. And I smoked more then 20 cigarettes per night. One time when I was going home I burnt a cigarette and started smoking. But suddenly I realized that smoking is something alien to me. Imagine, I breathe and feel how smoke is filling my mouth and lungs, I feel how smoke is burning up my lungs and all my body. I felt it so real, like the moment of truth! And I realized that smoking wasn't my own desire! It wasn't my true necessity! So for one or two weeks I stopped smoking. Because everytime when I took a cigarette and began to smoke it, I immediately felt similar feelings. Stop smoking was quite easy for me. Sometime I'm smoking in my night dreams but everytime I feel pangs of conscience...

    I was with this right up to the part where he talks about "control your space" and "I can only control my behaviours if I can control those who control me". A lot of behavioural problems behind addiction stem from control issues, an unrealistic feeling of lack control, then seeking a distractive, addiction to deal with it.

      jjsiegal1 there's an exchange between the individual, the environment and genetics. There isn't a 100% fool proof formula. However, when someone is thirsty for change, just about any program will work. keep up the good work in the search for what may work universally...

    I know of more than one person who got off of cigarettes by changing over to electronic cigarettes.(Vaping).Also I haven't had any refined sugar for more than FIVE years because I replaced sugar in my diet with sucralose and stevia.Sucralose is a great sweetener that tastes just like sugar when it's mixed into foods.Stevia is a really good all natural sweetener.The key to curing addictions is to replace your addiction with something else you find just as pleasurable but is less harmfull. About diets:Two of the best diets out there now is The Paleo Diet and The Ketogenic Diet.I follow a meat free version of The Paleo Diet.My diet now is based on mercury free-fat free fish,skinless chicken and turkey,eggs,nuts and fruits and vegetables.Also The Ketogenic Diet can be used to make cancer go into remission,treat autism or lose weight.

      adrienne gellman Treat autism? Or reduce some of the symptoms? It's a bad idea to make unsupportable claims in defence of a lifestyle choice. My son is autistic, and he is the reason I am studying psychology (in my final year) - autism is a product of a particular alteration in brain-development, that cascades in different ways depending upon when, during brain development, the issue occurs. Yes, diet can lessen symptomatic behaviours predicated on brain structure, but that's probably true of almost all neurological disorders.
      Also, my flat-mate, who trains weightlifters, suggests that eating something that tastes like sugar, but that isn't processed by the body in the same way that sugar is, can actually lead to increased cravings because the brain gets the taste hit, but not the matching physiological hit. In that respect, I think that Stevia is better than sucralose (over and above what Doug Gerber said). As I understand that Stevia helps the body to process the sugars you do eat (in fruits, for example).

    Everything is in the brain, if you want to change, push it as hard as you can (the same feeling as if you were closing your fist)
    and then use your brain to do whatever you want to do.
