What is a Personal Transformation?

Personal Transformation in 90 Days
Personal Transformation in 90 Days

Personal transformation can mean a lot of things to a lot of different people. To put it simply, it’s the task of changing who you currently are while becoming the person that you want to be.

We all have an area of two in our lives that we could improve upon, whether that’s weight loss, a habit like smoking, or the desire to make more money. Regardless of what part(s) of your life that you wish to change, you’ve likely already attempted the transformation at some point and failed.

Don’t worry, this is perfectly normal and to be expected. In fact, it’s human nature. While you may feel frustrated and discouraged, now is not the time to give up.

This is where TOPUCU comes in. We help you to understand the habits and patterns that are holding you back from making the life-changing transformation that you desire with our proven, seven-step system where we’ll help you to understand exactly what it takes to make the positive changes in your life.

7 Life Transforming Principles

TOPUCU’s seven-step program is designed to help you reshape your life by harnessing your thoughts and energy to achieve lasting positive changes. This process will help you to learn the life skills and tools you need to finally rid your life of the negative aspects that have been holding you back. In their place, you’ll find new, positive habits and routines that bring more value and fulfillment to your overall life and wellbeing.

Let’s take a walk through the seven-step path to personal transformation in 90 days:

  1. Lesson One: Habits

In the first step of our program, we’ll focus on your habits and these three components: trigger, routine, and reward. We’ll focus on the fact that the “routine” is the only component of your habit that you can control. We’ll break down the “trigger” so that we can understand the “why” behind your habits. After this, we’ll help foster new routines that line up with the person that you’re striving to be.

  1. Lesson Two: Motivation

In our second lesson, the “Scale of Motivation” will be introduced as a guide that will show you why or why not you do things. We’ll evaluate the scales to determine which part needs to be adjusted so that you can keep moving the needle forward on your goals. We’ll also discuss the two forms of motivation: internal and external.

  1. Lesson Three: Pain

Next, we’ll talk about how pain and discomfort are a critical component of your personal transformation. As we push through barriers, pain will ensue. But that pain will be nothing compared to the pain you may experience if you remain in your current situation.

  1. Lesson Four: The Seven “E’s”

Our seven “E’s” are all about dissecting and analyzing the thoughts that enter your mind. We’ll teach you to stop the negative thoughts and nurture positive thoughts.

  1. Lesson Five: Visualization

If you can hold it in your mind, you can hold it in your hand. Visualization involves painting a vividly clear picture in your mind of your goal and holding it there as you walk towards it throughout your transformation process.

  1. Lesson Six: Value of Time

This lesson is all about understanding the value of your time. We all have the same 168 hours each week; how are you using that time? To achieve a powerful, lasting transformation, you must allow the time it needs to take place.

  1. Lesson Seven: Burn the Bridge

“If you want to take the island, burn the boats.” If you want your personal transformation to last and be a lifelong change, you must be fully committed to your future self. Identify the challenges that are holding you back, put them on a metaphorical bridge and blow it up. There’s no turning back!

It’s Time to Embrace the Change You Desire

The path to personal transformation includes embracing the fact that change is not only necessary but that it’s inevitable and an integral part of the process.

Embracing change will cause you to make changes in your life that allow for a richer, easier, and more fulfilling life. The changes that you make throughout your personal transformation will provide you with an opportunity for growth and new experiences that will ultimately allow you to push past any discomfort and fear that you may feel.

What Happens After the 90-Day Transformation?

After you have successfully completed our seven-step program, you’ll be welcomed to take our finisher course that will help further your transformation. We’ll take a look at all the aspects of your life from work, family, and health and determine what you need to do in each area to achieve your goals.

Are you ready to finally experience the changes in your life that you want and deserve? If so, the path to transformation begins here. Let TOPUCU help you realize your full potential and live the life that you were made to live.

Personal Transformation in the New Year

Personal Transformation in the New Year

Personal Transformation in the New Year is on your mind.  2020 is here and with a new year comes the desire to re-invent one’s self and to do more than you have in the past. The ill-fated New Year’s Resolutions that you have failed to stick to for years on end in the past will be little more than bad memories.  This is finally the year that you lose weight, get that promotion at work, and finally, learn how to play the piano. You’ve always had the desire to do these things, and now nothing will hold you back from finally achieving them. This time you’re sure you’ll follow through on your big plans to make things better. 

Yet, for some reason, you keep stopping at McDonald’s after work. You hit the bar with your friends instead of going to the gym. The New Year’s Resolution has become your plan for February, or your birthday, or some other landmark in time off in the near future. You’ll get around to it because it’s something you want to do, but for the moment, you’re just having too much fun doing what you’re doing. You’re enjoying life and having a good time, and you don’t really want to change what’s going on because it would be so much work. Your friends love having you out at the bar or in the casino having a good time drinking and gambling the night away. You don’t want to be a buzzkill that ruins everyone’s fun. So, what if you eat out a few nights a week, you can afford it, and you’ll stop sooner or later and hit the gym sometime soon. You’ll right the ship soon enough, there’s no pressure to do it anytime soon. 

The Real Transformation Problem

Personal Transformation in the New Year Today
Personal Transformation in the New Year

This is the real problem with being able to make any essential improvements in your life. The old saying that old habits die hard is a saying for a reason. You know the life you currently have, and while you know that some of the things, you’re doing is terrible, it never feels that urgent to change. The smoking habit you should break isn’t killing you right this second. You might get drunk every so often, but you would never get a DUI or do anything stupid while drunk. Sure, you could drop a few pounds, but food is what makes life worth living. While you know what you should be doing, there isn’t much drive or motivation to get there. Your current situation might not be perfect, but it’s not bad enough to make you want to do anything differently. Finding that drive and desire to make a real change seems to be impossible. 

The Secret

That’s the secret to success when it comes to finally moving past the bad habits you know you should change.  Start your new life with practices that benefit not only yourself but your friends, family, and even the business you work for. Having a well-rested, healthy, and creatively active and happy person in their lives or in the office is a considerable benefit that means more than you could ever know. Getting to that moment requires an understanding exactly why it is you were unable to get where you wanted to be and why you were being held back from the success you’ve always wanted to achieve. 

Understanding Habits

How do you understand your habits and why you follow bad habits? How do you achieve a personal transformation in the new year? How do you get yourself going in the right direction and keep yourself on the right path? What is the secret to building good habits and keeping yourself from going back to your bad habits? The answer to these questions is found in the teachings of TOPUCU. We will educate you on the nature of habits and what goes into forming and breaking them.

The Seven Steps

The seven-step starter program begins with you learning about the “Trigger” that causes you to perform your “routine” that gives you the “reward” that your brain gives you for following the programming you’ve been following for as long as you’ve had your bad habit. No matter if it’s going for a smoke when you’re on break at work, hitting the bar with friends on a Friday night, or playing video games after getting into an argument with your wife, you have events that trigger a response that leads you to perform the habit or routine that you’re accustomed to that makes you feel better after you’ve done it. Learning what the triggers are and how they lead to bad habits is your first step towards changing and, in the end, breaking those bad habits and forming good habits.

The second step is understanding the nature of motivation and how it makes it possible for you to achieve your goals. We all want a pat on the back from our doctor for losing some weight or quitting smoking. We all want our friends to be impressed when we show off that we can play the guitar or speak Spanish. Still, the truth is that getting praise and being motivated by others isn’t nearly as crucial as being internally motivated to get the job done ourselves. Internal motivation and the desire for self-improvement is the most significant indicator of success or failure in the quest to rid yourself of bad habits. Learning how to become motivated and stay motivated is one of the most important things we will teach you in our program.

Complete the Steps

The third step of our program is understanding the concept of pain and what it really means to endure pain. People think of the hardship of change as pain. They think of the struggle of learning something new as being painful or breaking away from addictive habits like drinking or smoking as pain. Still, the truth is that this concept of pain is misguided and doesn’t truly grasp the idea of pain. Dealing with pain in the short term is something people can deal with, and in a way, they can even find it something enjoyable or something they can come to terms with. The real pain comes from never breaking your bad habits. It comes from spending a life without ever achieving your goals and doing what you’ve always wanted to do. It’s the regret of never being what you could have been. Fighting through your bad habits and avoiding that pain is what we are all about. 

Personal Transformation in the New Year

Personal transformation in the new year is possible. You have it within you to be able to break your bad habits and become the person you always wanted to be. You will learn all the tools you need, from visualization to time management, to be able to put all TOPUCU’s lessons to use for yourself. You will be able to finally unlock the potential inside you and become a better person. You can transform yourself and make your life better. You can overcome the things that are holding you back and find the greatness you have been searching for. TOPUCU is here to help you do it. We’ve helped thousands of other people understand the secrets to good habits, and we’re here to help you uncover it as well. Stop beating yourself up for your past failures and start your road to a better life today.

Good Habits in the New Year

Good Habits in the New Year

Good Habits in the New Year: With the start of the new year, people are often thinking about New Year’s Resolutions.  Looking towards starting the new year off with a renewed sense of purpose and determination to finally achieve some of the goals they have set out for themselves in the past yet never happened to achieve them. This time they’ll stick to their New Year’s Resolutions and finally lose some weight, learn how to speak Spanish, make more money, and other goals you hear people talk about all the time. Yet when March rolls around, they are back eating at McDonald’s, the Spanish lessons go ignored, and they haven’t activated their Uber App in a month. What is it that makes it so hard to follow through on your goals? Why is it that our good intentions are so hard to translate into good actions?  Why are changing habits so difficult?

It’s rough being asked about how your diet is going when you know you’ve been eating poorly. It’s hard to deal with people asking you how your creative project is progressing when you know you haven’t spent any time on it. Deep down you wonder why exactly you aren’t working on these things and why is it that you keep falling into the same rut over and over again. You don’t need your spouse to tell you the pint of ice cream you’re eating isn’t on your diet. You know this but you can’t help yourself. You feel like a creature of habit trapped in the bad impulses that keep you from doing the things you want to do. You’re stuck in a cycle of failed attempts, and it gets to the point where you wonder if you should even bother trying again. You know what needs to be done, and yet for some reason, you just can’t do it.

New Year – New Habits

Good Habits in the New Year
Good Habits in the New Year

What is it that’s holding you back? Why is it that every time you strive for good habits in the new year that they fail to come to fruition? You’re not dumb. You know that you should be going to the gym, or looking for a better job. But, when the time comes, you find yourself working the same shifts for the same pay and enjoying a night of beer, steaks, and all the sides you get your hands on. You promise you’ll change things soon and that this time you don’t break your New Year’s Resolution, but It’s a promise you never end up keeping. What exactly is it that makes you unable to act upon your desire to improve your life? What’s holding you back from doing the things you know, you should be doing instead of doing the things you know aren’t healthy? Why are habits so hard to break?

The problem is you’ve never been taught about how a habit forms and what it means to truly break a bad habit and how to foster and improve a good habit. You know not to do bad things like overeat, push things off till the last minute, or play video games instead of working on essential projects. Yet, you always seem to be finding excuses to do those things. Your arm hurts, you’re too tired to think, you’ll get to it first thing tomorrow. You find ways to justify sticking with your bad habits even when you know you shouldn’t. What is making you do this? Is there a way to stop doing it? How do you break the cycle and finally get to where you want to be? 

 

TOPUCU Changing Habits

The reason you can’t break bad habits is that you’ve never truly been taught to understand bad habits. How habits form, and then once they are created, how you develop and maintain them even when you don’t want to. We here at TOPUCU will explain how this process happens and show you exactly how you need to change your life to break free of these issues and finally get yourself back on the right path. Our seven-step starter program begins with explaining to you how exactly you become conditioned to repeating bad habits and how to break out of that cycle once and for all.

Steps Away

Step one of the program will explain to you what the trigger for your bad habit is, be it stress from a day at work, or just the fact that it’s the weekend, and you always go out to drink on the weekend. We’ll break down how the trigger generates a routine in your mind that you are then rewarded for completing by your brain. Understanding how these things all connect is the vital first step towards managing your bad habits and changing them in a way that makes it so you don’t go back to them.

The second step of the program is learning about the power of motivation and understanding what truly motivates you. It’s nice to have people praise your weight loss or commend you for getting better at creative writing or learning a new language. Still, the motivation you have that comes from seeking out the praise of others isn’t nearly as powerful as the motivation that comes from within. To truly make a change in your life requires you to be driven and determined to achieve it. Internal motivation is always stronger than external motivation.

The next step in the program is understanding the true meaning of pain. We think of pain being something we deal with after a hard workout or the suffering from withdrawal that comes from giving up smoking or drinking. Still, that pain is fleeting and one part of the healing process that gets you to a better place and a happier life. The real pain is the pain of not living up to your potential or to achieve your goals. The pain of not being able to do what you really want to do is hidden from us at the moment, but it can fill our lives with regret. Understanding this pain and working to avoid it is what we will instruct you about as we guide you towards improving your life. 

 

The Final Steps

The final four steps towards building good habits in the New Year are learning the Seven “E” s. The Seven E’s will show you how you can allow a negative thought to gain “Entrance” into your mind. Through our training, you’ll learn to work through the ways to prevent these thoughts from triggering your bad habits and help you reach the “Enveloped” state of knowledge. Then you’ll be taught visualization skills that will allow you to manifest your goals into reality. People are told about visualization and its use, but they aren’t told exactly how the process works and how to properly use it to be able to achieve the goals they’ve been seeking. 

From there, we’ll show you how to properly use time management to get the most out of your days. You only have a finite amount of time each day to handle all the different tasks you want to accomplish. Learn how to budget your time such that you’re not wasting your day away needlessly. Finally, you’ll burn the bridge with your past life and move forward with good habits that will last a lifetime. You can have a better life, and good habits for the new year can be achieved. You can do this, and we’ll be there to help.

Good Habits During The Holidays

Good Habits During The Holidays

Practicing good habits during the Holidays can be a challenge for anyone to stay on track. You might have had some success losing weight over the summer and fall. Still, when the winter and the holidays approach, it becomes so much easier to help yourself to some extra turkey and stuffing. That you can write off a few days of eating poorly as just part of the season and that you’ll get around to eating better in a few days. The next thing you know, you’ve gained ten pounds and keep putting off getting back on your diet or going back to the gym because that’ll be part of your “New Year’s Resolution.” 

Habits and Resolutions?

Eating with Good Habits During the Holidays
Eating and Good Habits During the Holidays

The New Year’s Resolution is a part of the problem in and of itself. It’s a way to give yourself roughly a month and a half of bad habits to indulge in before promising to turn things around for yourself. If you want to change something you are doing, there is no better time to make that change than right now. Putting things off to the future is procrastination, and it’s one of the most insidious and dangerous of the bad habits you can have. Procrastination doesn’t feel like a bad habit because it’s comfortable and easy. Procrastination is not applying yourself or putting any effort into getting things done. You’re sure you have all the time in the world ahead of you to finally get around to do whatever it is you are planning to do. Ultimately, everything ends up rushed at the last minute. Don’t wait for a New Year’s Resolution to change things in your life, make the promise to yourself to change things today.

Disruptions to your routine are something that will happen in the holiday season. Vacations from work, spending time with family, there are countless ways to have the day to day events of your life uprooted by the holiday season. From having to scramble to get gifts for your friends and family to hosting or attending parties with co-workers and other business associates. You’re bound to be thrust into difficult situations that crop up once a year. And, there’s the day-long day of feasting with your family that is Thanksgiving. These are all reasons to quit practicing the guitar or to stop listening to your Spanish tapes. The holidays present challenges and issues that can take anyone out of their rhythm.  You’ve put in a situation where you stop trying because you just can’t find the time to do the things you had done previously. 

Good Habits During the Holidays is Hard

Holidays are a time when one is supposed to be charitable and giving. The most generous thing you can do for yourself is to take care of yourself and make sure you are doing everything to keep healthy, engaged, and feeling right. Practicing good habits during the holidays is difficult. The world throws a lot of crazy stuff at us and the holiday season can be one full of all sorts of stress and unexpected events that makes it hard to cope. You might think that you’ll just have a holiday cigarette or two to help you get through the season and quit on New Year’s (That dreaded New Year’s Resolution again). It’s this time of year that can lead people towards the bad habits they swore they broke years ago. How does one stay on track and keep doing the good things they enjoy while avoiding the bad things that have been hurting them for so long?

If you feel like you’re falling back into old habits and not understanding why it’s happening to you or how to get back to the good life you were living, you need to know that you are not alone. That dealing with these sorts of issues has plagued people for as long as civilization has been around. Understanding how habits form and what causes you to act on a bad habit is something we here at TOPUCU are happy to teach you all about. 

Build Good Habits During the Holidays with TOPUCU

The TOPUCU 7 step program will educate and inform you about the nature of habits and how to cultivate and encourage good habits while getting rid of bad ones that are hindering you. The first step of our program will explain to you the triggering events that make you enter into a routine that gives your mind a reward. This is the process that you need to understand so that you can better handle situations that would encourage you to engage in the bad habits you’ve formed over the years. Learning how habits are formed Is the first step towards breaking them. 

The second step of our plan explores the scales of motivation.  Understanding that while approval and praise from others is good for you to seek out while you’re breaking a bad habit or learning a good habit, the heavy side of the scale will always be tilted in favor of your own personal motivation and goals. Without being driven to achieve success, you will never be able to make real progress. You’ll need to understand how to motivate yourself and keep yourself focused on getting the result you’ve always wanted. 

The third step on the journey is understanding the true nature of pain. Pain is typically thought of as being how the way you feel when you give up eating your favorite food or skipping out on a late-night snack. Pain generally is measured in how sore you are after a day at the gym. This is what pain is said to be whenever we hear about pain in our day to day lives. The truth is that this pain is temporary and easy to overcome. The pain of a life of regrets for having not changed your bad habits is long-lasting and harder to escape. To avoid the true pain of a life that wasn’t lived to its full potential is something everyone should seek to avoid. 

TOPUCU Seven E’s

From there, you will learn the seven E’s that allow you to develop your habit-building capabilities fully.  Start the process of making the better you that you have always sought to create. Then we’ll help you unlock the powerful tool that is visualization. Allowing your mind to see what a better life could be like is the best way to help you make it into a reality. You may have heard of different tips and tricks about how to make visualization work, and that’s all well and good. Still, here at TOPUCU, we will explain the process step by step and show you how to achieve it. 

Next, we will show you how to budget your time correctly and then finally begin the process of burning the bridge to your past life and starting your new life free from the burden of your previous bad habits. TOPUCU is all about giving you a better life you’ve always deserved. The Holiday season is full of joy and celebration. Still, it can also be a stressful time to navigate for some people. TOPUCU will help you make it to the new year without backsliding into bad habits. You deserve a new year without any regrets or resolutions, and we’ll help you achieve it.

What is Transformation

What is Transformation

What is transformation? What is the process one must undertake to do something genuinely transformative? Thinking about such an event can make the task appear daunting or even impossible. The truth is that a personal transformation isn’t something that happens overnight or in one moment of clarity. A personal transformation is done step by step over weeks, months, and years of hard work and commitment to yourself to become the person you want to be finally.

When it comes to the results of a transformation, it can take many different forms. It could be getting rid of a lousy vice such as drinking or smoking. It could be growing as a person by becoming more creative or caring. It could be learning a new skill like driving a stick shift in a car or playing the guitar. When you think about the question of what is personal transformation, the answers are only limited by your imagination. People are always seeking improvement in one fashion or another, and truly embracing that improvement is what allows them to make the transformation fully.

Change is Hard

What is Transformation
What is Transformation

Change is hard for people. It’s one thing to know that you have a bad habit or that you want to be able to do something you find interesting. It is another thing altogether to be able to put in the time and effort to do it. Being ready to quit smoking takes a considerable amount of willpower and drive to overcome both the addictive nature of nicotine and the habit of having a smoke while on break at work or after a good meal. Training yourself to get out of these habits is tough, and fighting your body’s cravings is a great challenge. There is a reason why overcoming an addiction is an achievement that people celebrate. Wanting to make a change is the first step. Learning how to make the change possible is the most essential part of making that change into reality.

Learn Something New

Desiring to learn a new skill is also a form of personal transformation. Having the research to find the best way to learn what you want to learn is an excellent way to begin your project. From becoming a better writer to being able to make investments or taking up a new hobby like rock climbing or weight training, there are so many different things you can devote your time to learning about. Once you have the necessary knowledge you need to take your first steps forward on your new path, you’ll need to find that same willpower, drive, and resolve to achieve what you want to do. Run a mile in under 10 minutes, build a portfolio of stocks, or having your short stories published in magazines, there’s a goal out there for you to achieve if you put your heart into it.

TOPUCU Transformation

We here at TOPUCU have a keen understanding of the idea of what is transformation. When you ask what is personal transformation, we know the answer is hard work and the application of knowledge provided by our courses. TOPUCU goals are providing inspiration and education about the nature of habits and how you have been trapped in bad habits. How you can finally begin the process of breaking free of those habits and building good habits for yourself.

Seven Step Program

Our 7-step program will teach you all the tools you’ll need to be able to overcome the obstacles that are holding you back from achieving your goals. We will explain to you in simple terms the ways you can begin improving your life. From the first step of our first program all the way through our finisher program, we will be helping you get exactly what you want out of life.

The first step of our program teaches you the critical lesson of understanding how habits work. They explain what the triggering event is that causes your brain to want to perform it’s routine and receive its reward for having done what it usually does. Be it smoking when you get a break at work, or going out to the bar for a few drinks when you are stressed, you will understand the triggering events that cause you to maintain your bad habits and keep you from doing better for yourself. By following this process, you’ll learn how to change your routine and find new and better rewards. Instead of drinking after a stressful day of work, you would learn to go on a jog for a few miles and find that just as rewarding as time passes.

Transformation Change

The second step is learning how motivation impacts your ability to achieve results. While getting word from a doctor that you need to lose weight could help motivate you to lose weight, you’ll be taught that external motivation isn’t the main driving force for you to be able to make the significant changes you need to improve your life. You need to be the one that is driven and motivated to make the improvements you’re looking for. Understanding how to keep yourself focused and motivated towards your goals is key in helping you achieve them.

The Only Person You Cheat is You

Lesson three will be about truly understanding our motto of The Only Person You Cheat Is You. Pain is something people think of as the discomfort of having to deal with a new routine or the challenge of trying to break an old habit. This pain is temporary and easy to overcome. The real pain is the pain of regret. It is the pain of having not lived up to your potential and overcome the issues that hold you back from people the person you always thought you could be. When you think about the concept of personal transformation and the question of what is personal transformation one of the answers could simply be that it is the process of understanding what pain truly is and how to avoid the kind of pain that will truly hurt you for years to come.

From there, you will learn the Seven E’s in lesson four. These Seven E’s will show you how to give yourself the proper mindset to improve your life. From there, you begin learning the powerful tool of visualization. Correctly understanding how to visualize your goals is one of the best ways to make them into a reality. Visualization is the key to making your mind accept what your future can be and train your thoughts towards making that future a reality.

From here, you will move onto lesson 6 and learn about the importance of time. You have 168 hours in a week to use, and you need to learn how to budget your time to get the things you want done. You will gain valuable time management skills that will allow you to do the things you need to do correctly. Everyone says they want to do things. Still, until they truly set aside the time to prepare their meals, to practice the guitar, to read a book, they will just keep planning on doing those things, and they will not do them.

The Final Step

Once you have learned these lessons, your final lesson will be burning the bridge to your past life and moving on to the life you’ve always wanted to have. Once you have learned the skills TOPUCU teaches, you will finally be able to understand and answer the question honestly, what is transformation.

How to Start Building Good Habits

We all want to do better in our lives. Odds are you want to make more money, lose some weight, maybe take up a new hobby like writing or playing a musical instrument. While these sorts of things are universal goals for people, it’s something that not many people can achieve. Going to the gym is something that you know you should be doing yet when the time comes to go to the gym, the excuses pile up. I’m too tired, I already went twice this week, I’ll make it up next week. Fighting off our bad habits is one of the most difficult challenges we have in our lives. Learning how to start building good habits is a process that takes time, but it’s one of the most important things you can do, and once you understand how to start and maintain your good habits it can be one of the best things that will ever happen to you.  

What’s The Problem

Building Good Habits
Building Good Habits

People will give you all sorts of advice about what you should do to improve your life. Start weight training, quit smoking, pick up a side job like driving for Uber or Lyft. They’ll tell you about all these different ways you can improve your life without addressing the underlying issue about all these things. You need to have the motivation and willpower to do them and to stick to them no matter what. People will tell you what the good habits you should be doing are, but they won’t tell you exactly how to get yourself into the proper mindset to do them. Knowing what you should be doing is one thing, figuring out how to get yourself to do it is an entirely different issue and that’s the most important thing when it comes to learning how to start building good habits. 

You don’t continue to engage in your bad habits because you think they are good for you. You are participating in them because it’s something you are comfortable doing and you find enjoyment in doing them. Blowing off some steam at the bar after a long day of work. Smoking whenever the urge hits you to light up a cigarette. Staying home and watching TV instead of going to the gym or working on a creative project. These are the things you know you shouldn’t do, but you find yourself doing them anyhow because it’s what you know and what you are comfortable with. Breaking out of bad habits isn’t as easy as knowing they are wrong. It’s an involved process that requires a lot more understanding than knowing that bad habits are bad and good habits are good. You need a personal transformation approach to habit building to be able to make the sort of changes you’re looking for in your life.

You Can Do Better

You know you can be better than you currently are and that something is holding you back from achieving your potential. You know that you can become more productive, lose weight, break yourself free from your vices, and be capable of fulfilling your creative and spiritual goals if you could only find the proper building blocks to begin this transition from the life you are currently living into the life you want to lead. 

Building Good Habits with TOPUCU

This is where TOPUCU and the TOPUCU program come into play. Our motto is simple and accurate that The Only Person You Cheat Is You. If you don’t want to put in the time and effort to understand how to improve your life with our training and techniques to help you improve your life you will be cheating yourself out of a better life. You can have the things you want if you’re willing to apply yourself and learn the secrets on how to escape your bad habits and learn how to make good habits that you will stick to and improve your life with. 

The seven-step TOPUCU program will teach you all about how to start building good habits. The first step is understanding precisely how habits are formed and why you’re doing the things you are doing. You’ll learn about the triggering events that bring about the routine that you’re used to and the reward you feel like you’re getting from performing these actions. Be it stress after a long day of work, the end of the week trip to the bar, or some other pattern of behavior you engage in you’ll learn about what you’re doing and how to change it those habits and start the process of learning and re-enforcing good habits. 

The Power of MotivationHow to build good habits

The next thing you’ll learn about is the power of motivation and how it can help you achieve your goals. Motivation is the key to understanding how to start building good habits. We all want to be thought of well by our friends and family. While it’s nice to earn a lot of money and show off your newfound wealth or to lose weight and get praised for getting yourself in shape. This sort of motivation is fleeting and will not help you meet your goals. The real motivation needed to achieve lasting change comes from within. If you are not inspired and determined to improve your life, you will not be able to make permanent changes. TOPUCU is all about showing you how to motivate yourself and stay focused to achieve your goals.  

The third step is understanding the real nature of pain. People think of pain as the short-term struggle to change their habits and learning a new routine. They believe that the discomfort of not smoking, or not drinking, or waking up early to get in a session at the gym before work is painful, but it’s not. The actual pain is the pain of missing out on the life you could have had if you had broken your bad habits and learned better habits. Showing you the pain of missing out on the better life you could have had is a harsh lesson for most people to deal with, but it’s an important one to help you understand why it is so important to push forward and stay committed to improving your life through better habits.  

From these three steps, you’ll move on to valuable lessons about time management and learning how to budget your time to make room for the things that really matter in your life. To learn how to visualize your success accurately and to make it seem more realistic and possible to obtain. TOPUCU will give you all the tools to make achieving your goals possible and allow you to start becoming the person you always wanted to be finally. At the end of the seven-step program, you’ll burn the bridge from your past life and move onto your brighter future.  

Be a FINISHER

Then you’ll enter the second part of the TOPUCU program where you’ll learn about how to set SMART goals and to keep yourself with a positive mindset and the drive to make those goals into a reality. The FINISHER program is designed to keep you on track for the rest of your life to make your life a better one. TOPUCU is here to make sure that you don’t cheat yourself out of the life that could be yours. You deserve a better life, and we’re here to make that happen.

Good Habits for Students

As we head into the fall and a new school year is rapidly approaching. It’s an excellent time to present a list of good habits for students to get into as they tackle the challenges of the upcoming school year. Getting the most out of your education is something that will benefit a student for the rest of their lives. And by working hard to maintain these habits you or your children will be well on their way to reaping the rewards of quality education.

Five Good Habits to Build

Getting proper sleep

A child (regardless of age) needs to get enough sleep every night. Being able to go to school day in and day out alert and ready to focus on their classes. A tired student is a student that cannot learn at their best and is prone to making all sorts of mistakes. While curfews are something, teenagers will rebel against it’s in their best interest to be in bed at a decent hour. Instilling in your children the good habit of making their sleep a priority is something that will benefit them not only during their time in school but also for the rest of their lives. Sleep is something people take for granted, yet it feels like nobody ever gets enough of it. Setting aside time to rest and sticking to it will go a long way to improve a child’s education and be the cornerstone of a healthy lifestyle.

Learning How to Take Notes

Good Habits for Students
Good Habits for Students

Knowing the right way to take notes in class and doing research is extremely important for a young student. Learning in grade school and high school often leaves people unprepared for college and what college is like. Gaining excellent note-taking skills in the lower grades will be a massive benefit for when your child seeks higher education. Being able to understand what the critical parts of a lesson are without having to be told about them is a skill that takes time to develop. Learning what sources to trust when looking on-line for research is another thing that’s important to understand. Too many students blindly trust websites like Wikipedia and end up getting erroneous information in their reports. Learning to use only credible sources for their work will ensure they both get good grades and learn critical thinking skills. Huge benefits for both in and out of school.

Getting Enough Exercise 

Having a fit body is a big help in keeping your mind sharp. With so many screens to look at and ways to sit around all day and let time drift away, it can be hard to keep your children active. Making sure that they budget time to be able to go out and do something active is an essential habit for them to develop. Even if they don’t enjoy organized sports, you should be able to find something they can do to go out and get some exercise. Hiking, biking, or going for a jog are all great ways to get the exercise needed to keep themselves from becoming too sedentary. Exercise is an effective way to ward off depression and many other health benefits on top of being an excellent way to help stay in shape.

Proper Planning for Long Term Projects

Procrastination is one of the most common bad habits that people deal with. Learning how to budget your time so that you’re not always scrambling at the last minute to finish a project is a vital skill to learn. Teach your children to set aside time to work on a science project, or write a few pages of a 20-page report, each day so that they don’t have to rush it all at the last minute. Benefits including making sure that their work is of a higher quality and that they are learning valuable time management skills that will benefit them in the future. Acquiring these habits at a young age will go a long way towards preventing them from procrastinating when they get older.

Working with Others

Good Habits for Students working together
Working Together

Gaining social skills in school is a great way to be better suited to dealing with the workplace once you’ve graduated from school. Work together with people on projects or take part in after school activities like plays or music. Finding ways to make connections to others can help create friendships and make yourself more comfortable in public settings. Being able to see things from other people’s point of view can be an enlightening experience and give you understanding and empathy for your fellow classmates. Leading a group is an ability that will serve somebody well for their whole life, and that sort of confidence gives a person a good self-image and improved self-esteem.

Key to Good Habits for Students

The key to these good habits is learning how to gain and maintain them. We all think of good habits as something that somebody gets through sheer will and focus. The truth is that building habits is a skill that can be learned via the proper education and training. TOPUCU’s 7 step program will teach students of all ages the skills needed to develop and keep good habits. Destructive and negative thinking fell in well over half the students that took our courses, and 70% of students felt more self-confidence after having completed the program. 9 out of 10 students felt that TOPUCU’s program was something they understood, and they found the skills they were taught were things that applied to their lives.

You will learn the proper understanding of how a habit is formed and how you can train your mind to break free of bad habits. Understand the powerful tool of visualization and how seeing your goals being achieved can help make that into a reality. TOPUCU will give you all sorts of powerful insights into how to train your mind to do the things you want to do. Budgeting time in the most effective manner possible and understanding that not living up to your potential is the real pain in life. The pain you go through when breaking bad habits is only transitory and will barely be remembered as time passes. Incredible lessons learned as you go through each step of our course.

No Shortcuts

There are no shortcuts to a better life. TOPUCU stands for The Only Person You Cheat Is You and that may sound confusing, but once you begin your learning in our course, it will make sense to you. You have the potential to do great things and be an incredible student. Good grades, enjoying school life, making friends, and being fit are all things you are capable of achieving. The only question is if you’re willing to put in the time and effort to earn them or if you’ll cheat yourself by not investing in yourself and allowing yourself to not be as awesome as you can be. TOPUCU seeks to bring out the best in you, and we hope that you want that for yourself and will strive to be the best you that you can be.

How to Change a Habit, Once And For All

Have you ever been halfway through eating your afternoon snack before you realized you weren’t even hungry? Are you unable to quit smoking, even though you’ve tried a dozen times? Do you have a gym membership that you haven’t used in years?

Nobody is perfect. We’re all human, after all. Everybody has a habit or two that they want to change. And it’s not easy. If it was, you would have done it by now!

After years of trying and failing to change a habit, you might be feeling a little defeated. Maybe you feel powerless in the face of your habits. Maybe you think it means that you’re weak, or lack self-discipline. 

But that’s not the case at all. Just by trying to change a bad habit, you’re making yourself a better, stronger person.  Building good habits is within reach.

The reason you haven’t been able to break your habit has nothing to do with your will-power. It all has to do with understanding your habit, psychologically and emotionally, and using science to help kick it.

How To Change A Habit For Good

Change a Habit

To Win, Understand Your Enemy

Before you can change your habits, you have to really understand them. 

You see, habits aren’t a reflection of weakness. A habit is a psychological process. A four-stage psychological process, to be exact.

A habit is made up of these 4 stages:

  1. Trigger
  2. Craving 
  3. Response
  4. Reward

Here, let’s break it down with an example. Imagine if you had a habit of eating a cookie every day after you finished your lunch. Some days you don’t even really want the cookie, but you eat it anyway. Every now and then you want to eat healthier, but you just can’t stop eating that after-lunch cookie. 

The first part of a habit is the trigger. The cue is a trigger for a certain craving, which leads to a certain behavior (in this case, eating the cookie). You get tired after you eat your lunch, and this fatigue is a cue. 

The cue activates a craving–the second stage of habits. Because you are tired, your body craves something sweet and sugary that will give you a burst of energy. It’s not the taste of the cookie you crave (even though you may think that’s what it is). Actually, you crave the carbohydrates in the sugar that will fuel your body, even if just for the time being.

This craving initiates a response. You feel tired, so you eat one of the cookies you keep in your desk. Then, you get your reward–the sugar rush that hits and gives you enough pep to get back to work.

Our brains are constantly seeking rewards. It’s an evolutionary trait that helped us survive because we craved food and water for survival. Feelings of pleasure and reward create this habit loop in our brain. This is why it’s so hard to break a habit.

The Four Steps To Changing A Habit Forever

Change a Habit Now

Now that you truly understand what a habit really is, you can learn how to break the cycle.

The first thing you must do for changing habits is to learn what the trigger is. Think back and look for patterns that emerge around those times that you indulged in your habit. Do you only smoke cigarettes when you go out drinking with your friends? Recognize the cue (becoming intoxicated in a social setting) that activates the craving (for nicotine) and the response (smoking the cigarette).

The next step to breaking a habit is finding an alternative. Brainstorm some things you can do instead of the habitual response you want to change that offer similar results. For instance, if you end up binging a TV show after a stressful day at work and then get upset that you never have time to work on the novel you’re writing, you need to find a healthier, less time-consuming way to destress after a bad day. Maybe do some yoga or take your dog for a walk. These activities will clear your head and destress you, and you’ll still have plenty of time to write a new chapter.

After this, you must commit to changing but maintain flexibility. Create fair, firm rules that you must follow, but also check in with yourself and be open to finding other solutions if one of the replacements you choose doesn’t work for you. For example, try to replace the TV-binging with yoga for two weeks and see if you feel better. If downward dog isn’t for you, try the dog park with Fido for a couple of weeks. Be committed to finding the best solution for you. This is all about making your life better.

Finally, always remember that to err is human. As you know, breaking a habit isn’t easy. Sometimes, you’ll mess up. You’re not perfect, and you shouldn’t expect yourself to be. The worst thing you can do if try to change your habit, face one setback, and give up. Instead, you should plan for setbacks and be understanding with yourself when they happen. Beating yourself up after hitting one stumbling block isn’t going to make changing your habit any easier.

Sometimes, You Need More Help To Break A Habit

Change a Habit Today

Ideally, now that you know the four steps of breaking a habit, you will be able to change all of your unwanted impulses by yourself.  But sometimes, you need more help than a four-step outline. The outline is a good place to start, but some habits are too big to tackle alone. That’s where TOPUCU comes in.

We teach you why you have so much trouble breaking your unhealthy habits. And then we help you train yourself to choose better, building habits that are healthier.

And you deserve to be the best you that you can be.

We teach you how to make your mind, body, and heart work together to conquer your demons and break those bad habits once and for all. You can take the skills you learn at TOPUCU and use them for the rest of your life to be a better, happier you. You have the power to change your life. It all starts with you.

What is Success in Life

by

Success in Life

How do you measure success in life? Is it having enough savings to take a long vacation once a year? Is it buying a nicer car or a house? Is it finding love and building a relationship with somebody you want to spend the rest of your life with? Success is a tricky concept to understand and in many ways, it can seem fleeting. Yesterday’s success becomes today’s complacency and we’re left wondering if we’ll ever truly have the drive to do something truly special. Do you look at your past accomplishments with pride or do you wish you had done more? Are there things you’re still looking to achieve but haven’t been able to?

Success can be found in other ways as well. You might set out to achieve a goal, such as quitting smoking or getting in better shape. Maybe you’re driven to run a mile in under 7 minutes and want to get yourself in good enough shape to be able to do that. Personal goals are a way to measure success and it can be frustrating if not downright depressing when you’re unable to reach goals that you set for yourself. Not knowing why you’re unable to achieve the things you know you’re capable of can lead you to be stuck in bad habits and doing unproductive things that you know you shouldn’t be doing but you see no better possible paths for you to go forward. Your attempts to lose weight are never successful, you never get anywhere with your creative projects. You’re stuck where you are and you don’t know how things will ever change in your favor.

Hitting The Wall

Success in Life

You have a basic understanding that having the will and the desire to do something is important. The problem is that you never seem that focused after a week or two of trying something. You hit a wall and can’t think of what to write in the next chapter, or the scale keeps telling you, you’re the same weight (or even gaining) when you’ve been following your diet religiously for two months. You’re not able to see progress in the things you care about and you’re left to go back to the bad habits that have given you comfort for so long. You wish things were easier, or at least that you could understand why it is that things don’t go the way you want them to. There should be a better way for you to be able to handle these things and get the results you want.

There’s so much misinformation out there about how to achieve the success in life that you’re looking for. From motivation speakers and self-help books to YouTube channels and all sorts of people on social media looking to sell you something it becomes difficult if not downright impossible to figure out who is telling you the truth and who is trying to sell you something to make a quick buck. Being able to figure out who to trust when it comes to improving your life is a challenge and you need to find people who have a proven track record of success and can teach you the proper building blocks towards improving your life and being able to achieve the success you’ve always been looking for. You need to find a team with a proven track record of success who know how to educate people in a way that makes learning fun and accessible and will give you the able to put the lessons you’ve learned into practice in your life and allow you to obtain the success in life that you’ve been seeking.

How to Reach Success in Life

We here at TOPUCU will be able to unlock the potential inside you and allow you to finally be able to achieve the things you thought were impossible. Our track record of success speaks for itself as we’ve taught our system to people of all different walks of life and they have repeatedly stated that the programs we teach are easy to understand that the skills we teach are things everyday ordinary people are capable of implementing to improve their lives.

Our seven step program begins with teaching you to understand exactly how bad habits become ruts you fall into. You need to understand what the ‘trigger’ is that will cause you to seek out the ‘routine’ that is what you tend to do in these situations and the ‘reward’ you get as a result of following the routine. You need to learn what is the trigger is that is making you fall into your bad habits and why it feels rewarding to engage in them. Once you understand the triggers you’ll understand building habits and positive routines that will allow you to change the way you react in these situations and begin the process of improving your life.

The next step you’ll take is to understand the power of motivation and how it can push you towards success. It’s important to see the praise and respect of others and using their support as motivation for your goals, but true progress is made by internal motivation. You will only be able to improve yourself by being driven by your own personal motivation of achieving your goal. Learning how to maintain and harness your motivation will be taught in this step to further help you achieve success in life.

The third step is understanding the true concept of pain. Pain, as most people think of it, is the agony of pushing through bad habits and trying to discover and maintain good habits. This sort of pain is fleeting and will soon be forgotten when you have freed yourself from those bad habits. True pain is the pain of regret. It’s the pain of never pushing past your bad habits and finally being able to achieve the things you know you are capable of. We’ll teach you how to overcome the true pain of living a life of unfilled potential and allow you to overcome the short term pain of improving your life.

Moving Forward

As you progress through the program you’ll learn more tools to help you along with your personal transformation. Visualization is one of the most powerful tools you can use to help yourself achieve your goals. Envisioning your success is one of the greatest ways of being able to achieve it and we will teach you the proper visualization skills needed to be able to truly make what you imagine become real. We understand the way the mind is wired and how you can inspire yourself to achieve your goals. You can find success in life with the tools TOPUCU will teach you.

Once you have completed the first six steps of the program you will finish by burning the bridge to your past life. The bad habits that had held you back for all those years are things you need to break free from and never go back to and when you have completed our course you’ll be able to see how much better your life is and how burning the bridge that connects who you are to the person you were is the best possible thing for you to do. You want success in life and TOPUCU will help you achieve it.

 

Good Habits For Life

Good Habits for Life Now

Good Habits For Life

Are good habits for life a myth?  We all want to be more successful at work and happier at home. We want time to enjoy the things that inspire us and to be able to handle the tasks we’re assigned in a timely fashion. We want to be able to set goals and obtain them. We’re always looking to push further, do better, and improve ourselves seeking personal transformation. Getting enough sleep, losing weight, saving money, being better at our jobs and earning promotions, and more responsibility are things that people strive for all the time. Yet it seems so hard to achieve. Making time to go to the gym, not eating out every night, putting in the minimum effort at work, these are things we know we shouldn’t be doing, yet it happens time and again.

Habits to Develop

Good Habits for Life
Good Habits for Life

Good habits for life are something that takes time to develop. Being able to overcome the bad habits you’ve become accustomed to takes a lot of willpower and effort. You know what is the right thing to do is but when you are stressed out or feeling upset, you go back to the things that brought you comfort in the past. You zone out and play video games instead of working on the project the boss assigned you. You go out drinking instead of getting to bed early so you can be rested for Monday morning and the start of the work week. Each week you promise you’ll never make those mistakes again, and every week those mistakes keep happening. At some point you stop fighting your bad habits and give into them, believing it’s impossible to break free of them and that you can, in fact, have good habits that’ll make you feel better.

Keep Trying

If you’re reading this, it means you’re trying again, and that’s a good thing. You can never truly fail at anything so long as you are willing to attempt it again. Most people who try to break an addiction, be it smoking, drinking or drug addictions will have a relapse. It’s fighting through those moments and weakness and continuing to push yourself towards getting clean is the struggle most people endure, and it is a struggle you can overcome. Whatever it is that you are seeking to overcome can be overcome if you’re willing to put in the energy and the effort needed to get the results you’re looking for. A better life can be yours if you work hard enough for it.

Your Tools for Building Good Habits

Good Habits for Life
Good Habits for Life

While working hard to change your habits is an option. There is another way to improve your life and develop good habits for life. The TOPUCU system gives you an understanding of precisely how habits are formed and why you keep repeating your bad habits. TOPUCU gives you insight into what is happening when you fall into repeating a bad habit. Being able to understand why you’re doing what you’re doing and learning tricks and techniques to be able to overcome these issues is what TOPUCU is all about. We’re here to make your fight against your bad habits an easier one. It will always be a challenge, but our lessons will make that challenge something you’re more capable of overcoming.

Seven Steps

The seven-step program begins with teaching you about the nature of habits. A habit is caused by three different things. A trigger, a routine, and a reward. Helping you to understand what your routine is when the triggering event happens is the key to reworking your habits and correcting your behavior. Be it getting out of work, hanging out with friends, or any of countless other possibilities it’s vital to understand why you’re doing what you’re doing and how best to begin the process of changing your response to triggering events. Your routine after a stressful night of work might be to go to a bar to have a few drinks. The trigger is the work, the trip to the bar is the routine, and a night of getting drunk is your reward. This becomes the pattern you fall into. If instead of going to the bar to blow off steam after work you went to the gym and worked out, you would be doing something positive for yourself instead of something negative. Finding the tools to replace your bad habits with good habits is what TOPUCU is all about.

The second lesson is understanding the power of motivation and what truly drives people to make life-changing decisions that promote good habits for life. When people speak of motivation, they might think of the desire to impress somebody like a boss or a family. They might also mean that a deadline has been laid down to them by somebody. A doctor might have told them they need to quit a bad habit or a loved one has demanded they clean up their act. While having somebody else motivate you either by fear or support, the real power of motivation must come from within. You need to be driven and determined to make a positive change in your life for you to be able to make the change. Understanding how to maintain your willpower and keep your motivation high is what will allow you to do things you thought were impossible.

The third lesson is understanding what the true meaning of pain is. Most people think of pain as the burden of changing their lifestyle from what it currently is to a better one. The strain of breaking old habits and undertaking new ones. Trying to deal with no longer relying on the things that got you through tough times. Be it drinking, smoking, drugs, or whatever your vices were, it will always seem painful to break free of them. TOPUCU shows that breaking these vices is only a short-term moment of pain and that the long-term pain and suffering comes from continuing to engage in these unhealthy and self-defeating practices. The pain of regret of not living a better life that you were capable of is far longer lasting than the pain of dealing with ridding yourself of old bad habits.

Beyond these first three lessons, you will learn so much more about your mind and its ability to change. Understanding how to unlock this power will give you the ability to transform your life and to make good habits for life. Understanding exactly how visualization can benefit you and how you can use it to your advantage is one of the critical lessons TOPUCU will teach you. Knowing how to accurately visualize your better life and allowing your mind to manifest the future you’re seeking. This and other valuable lessons like understanding time management will be the foundations upon which you will build your better life. TOPUCU will show you how to start your life anew by burning the bridge that connected you to your old life and allowing you to live your best life.

Good Habits for Life – That Stick

Good habits for life is something everyone strives to obtain. Following the lessons and education that TOPUCU has to teach you, will allow you to make that something that is possible for you finally. Bad habits might seem impossible to overcome, and odds are you’ve tried and failed before. Your failures were not for lack of trying, but rather from a lack of understanding of how to change. TOPUCU will give you the guidance to make positive change for a better life.
