If You Were Certain You Could Change,
What Would You Change?
Build Trust and Confidence in Yourself:
How Many Times Have You Tried to Change, Only to Have Given Up? 
What wears us down, isn't what happens to us, but that we lose the ability that we can change.

And often, change comes about, we feel like we have to battle and suffer through it. 

But there is another way.
All of Your Habits are built on emotional protection. Change is hard, not because we don't want to, but because we don't know how to replace that subconscious protection with a greater inner safety. 

Instead we force ourselves to battle more, which is the opposite of what needs to happen for long-term change to occur. 

Habits are Made of 4 Components: 

1. Cue:  The "spark" that starts the habit. Theare are 5 Types of Cues. 


2. Craving: The subconscious and emotional element behind that habit.


3. Routine: The actions you actually take. 


4. Reward: The often subconscious benefit of taking those actions. 

 

Most popular advice around habits, talks about this system. Systems are important, to be sure. But you're not an organization. You're not a computer. To recognize the system, without understanding what drives it, causes you to trip over yourself and beat yourself up.   


The problem is, you're changing "Out of Order."  

Do You Trust You'll Change Your Habits?
Long-Term Change Happens Because of Four Reasons: 

1. Reprocessing/Reconsolidating:
Habits are Emotions made manifest. Emotions happen automatically, and urge you to do something. Those emotions are based on the "Automatic Connections" your brain makes.  Those "Automatic Connections" come from memories of your past. 

Therefore, if you want to change, you have to learn to emotionally feel different about some of your memories. Reprocessing/Reconsolidating is just a fancy word for changing how you emotionally feel about a memory or a "reason" why you do something. Having the power to do this, will change your life and build confidence that you can change for good. 

2. Reframing a Situation:
Being able to change how you see a situation gives you the power to control the lens through which it becomes easy or hard to change. If you feel like you "have to" do something, then it becomes a chore and can feel like drudgery. Feeling like you "Get to" do something, means you feel appreciative and happy that you can. It can be the same exact action, but unless you learn to take control over how you view your actions, will make the difference between hating the process, or enjoying the process. 

3. Re-Patterning Your Bodily Responses and Actions: 
How do you automatically react to stimuli? If you don't change how you respond to your bodily sensations, you may always be at odds with what you want. 
For example, a smoker who doesn't change how they respond to stress, may seek out a cigarette when they're stressed. They've had that pattern of behavior, in their body, for years. Yet if you re-pattern that stress response, so you want to do a breathing exercise, then it becomes easy to quit smoking. If you don't change how you respond to your bodily reactions, you'll fall back into the same pattern. 

4. Reconnecting to Yourself and Others: 
Disconnection happens in 4 main ways. We're either disconnected from our Desires (more women here), Feelings (more men here), Needs, or Bodily Sensations (we ignore or push through things for so long, we take it as normal). Reconnecting means you know what you want, what your'e feeling, needing, and how to control your body. 

Long-term Change often requires all 4 of these things in order for you to get the Results you want.

If you've struggled and stumbled in the past, it's almost always certain it's because you didn't do one of these things. If you did change all 4 of these things though, you'd be certain to change. There is no way that you could do all 4 of these things and remain the same.  
The Problem:
You Haven't Been Given the Right Tools, in the Right Order  
There are 4 "S" Tools to Change:

 1. Stories: Your stories are the foundation of how you see anything, including yourself. Understanding and being able to change them, is the most powerful key to reprocessing. 

2. Social Accountability: We do better in groups. CrossFit was so popular, not because the workouts were hard, but because you will push harder and longer when you have social accountability. We strive to do better when other people are doing the same. This is why certain companies can perform better at times, when the culture of the company is geared towards that. This includes reconnecting with yourself and others. 

3. Skills: Developing your skills to change are essential to long-term change. That means learning to handle discomfort, but still being connected to yourself. This is key in repatterning your behavior. . 

4. Systems: Having a System to Enact your New Habits. This is when you put things into motion, where you can build a habit, or replace a habit that you're excited for. This is reframing.

Having these 4 things, in this order, helps you to not only stay on track, but change your habits, for the long-term. 
What if that habit you "can't just change," you finally were able to?

Week 8: Favorite Self, Part II - Your Personality

Second Week of Your "Favorite Self": Once you know your Values, the question becomes, who do you like to be? This has less to do with your values, and more what aspects of your personality do you like? How do you put those into action on a more consistent basis?


Tool of the Week: Learning to Emotionally Surf using SUSIN (Sensations, Urges, Stories, Interpretations, and Needs).

The What, When, Where Tool


Week 11: Habit Tips and Advanced Skills

Knowing the Tips to Stay on Track with a Habit is different than building a habit. 

Breaking a Habit and What to do with that, is different than starting a new habit.  
Knowing the Overarching aspect of yourself (Do you fall into All-or-Nothing Thinking or not) can help you chose the techniques that are best suited for your specific habits.  
 

These Tips and techniques are really the icing on the cake. You'll have already laid the solid foundation of your habit, and this is just the advanced stuff. 

 

Tool of the Week: Daily Check-ins with Social Accountability. Up to this point, this was optional. Now, it's go-time! 
Week 12: Plan for When You Fall off the Wagon

At some point, you will fall off of your habit. This will happen either because life knocks you upside the head, either with a sickness or craziness with work, or something else, or because you go on vacation or it's the holidays and you're extra busy. 


The problem isn't that you fall off. The problem is, you don't have a plan to get started again.   

This last week, you build the parameters to know when you've fallen off, and what to do, to get back on track.

What is Holding You Back in Your Life?
If You Could Change it in a Few Months, What would that be Worth to You?   
Habit Change U was created to allow you to feel confident in being able to change any habit you want. You'll have the know-how to change any habit, no matter how many times you've attempted to do so, while enjoying the process of doing so, more. 
Habit Change U Creator: John Leyva 

In college, I double majored in Psychology and Exercise Science and have been obsessed about how and why people change for as long as I can remember. 


Seeing people not understand the stories that stand in their way, or work on building skills that cause more confusion, while building systems prematurely has been frustrating to watch.  


In this program, I really want you to take back the power from habits that were often formed before you even knew what a habit was. 

When you can make your subconscious, conscious and understand the blocks holding you back, then you have more freedom to create a life of your own making. 


I made this program for anyone who's ever felt like a failure for not being able to change something they want to, or know they "should" change, but can't seem to.  If that sounds like you, I hope to see you in the program. 


Cheers,
John Leyva

Frequently Asked Questions: 
  • When Are the Group Calls?
    Group Calls are on:
    Tuesday Evenings from 7:30 to 8:30 pm EST. The next 12-Week Intensive Starts on 1/6/26.
    The following Intensive will then start in March with ongoing Coaching calls at 7:45 pm on Tuesdays, starting March 3rd, 2026.
    They will be recorded (although, parts may be cut out - if someone doesn't want a part of the call recorded, I'll cut it)
    All ongoing Coaching Calls will be on Wednesdays from 7 to 8 pm EST.
  • How Much Time Will be Needed for this Program per Week?
    Watching the Weekly Videos: Most weeks are 1-hour or less (can be done at anytime).
    Tuesday evening's call is recommended: 60-minutes.

    Daily Assignments: An average of 10-15 minutes per day.

    This comes out to about 45 to 60 minutes per day.
    The Question is, is an hour per day worth you being able to Trust YourSelf in any situation?
  • What if I Can't Make Some of the Calls?
    The calls will be recorded and you can listen to them at your earliest convenience afterwards....BUT...
    All of the videos within the program itself will give you ALL of the information that you will need.
    The truth is that ALL the information you will need to learn is contained within the videos.
    The benefit of the calls are multi-fold, but they are:
    1. Guidance for the techniques and skills for that week
    2. The sxtra social accountability to stay on track
    3 - Insights that may not have come from the videos and seeing how other people might interact with the information.
    4 - Being able to ask any questions, in real-time as you notice things coming up for you.

    So although you don't need the Group Coaching to learn the information, it helps you to not only stay on track, but also to glean information that comes from interacting, in the moment.
  • Can I cancel at any time?
    Yes, the cost will be $99 per month until you cancel. You will have access to the 12-Week Intensive for as long as you're a member and will have access to both the Intensive calls and ongoing Coaching Calls for as long as you're a member.
  • Do You Have a Money Back Guarantee?
    Yes, you have 30 Days from the Start of the Program to ask for a refund. If you show up to at least one call per week, and do all the homework, then if you are not satisfied, you can get a full refund within the first 30 Days of the Program.
