Location: We will meet at True Food Kitchen (Bethesda) (7100 Wisconsin Ave, Bethesda, MD 20815)
Why most people struggle when it comes to losing weight or getting rid of bad habits? Is there a chance to get unstuck from unnecessary fallbacks and permanently change our bad habits? In this TEDxTalk, Benjamin shares the secret on how making a radical change is not only possible but required to live a life of integrity, meaning, and purpose.

1. Lasting change comes from shifting our identity, not relying on short-term goals or willpower. How can we start aligning our daily actions with the identity we want to grow into rather than the one we currently hold?
2. Our input—what we listen to, read, and consume—directly rewires our beliefs and behaviors. What changes in input could we experiment with to better shape the outlook we want to live from?
3. Bold investments in our future self help anchor us to a new identity. What is one meaningful way we could invest in our future self this month to reinforce who we want to become?
4. Transformational change often comes from “point of no return” commitments that make going back impossible. What could we do to create our own point of no return in an area where we’ve been stuck?
5. 100% commitment eliminates decision fatigue because the choice is already made. Where in our lives would it be powerful to stop hovering at 98% and make a full 100% commitment?
6. A vivid, long-term vision of our future self helps us act in alignment today. How can we create a clearer picture of our best future self so that it guides our present decisions?
7. Confidence is built after we take action, not before. What bold step could we take this week that might generate the confidence we’ve been waiting for?
8. Cutting off old options frees mental energy for pursuing the life we want. Which options or habits could we decisively remove so that our energy is fully aligned with our chosen direction?

To provide an enjoyable experience for fellow participants, here are three ground rules during discussion events:
1. Step up and step back. (If you feel that you’ve been talking too much, step back to listen more. If you feel that you’ve been relatively quiet, step up to share your perspective or ask a question)
2. Listen to understand, not to respond.
3. Be open-minded and value differences.
4. Max 7 people per group.
