How To Adopt New Habits

Are you an Upholder, a Questioner, a Rebel or an Obliger? You will find Gretchin Rubin's TedTalk presentation very interesting. Gretchin is the author of the Happiness Project and in the course of writing Before and After  has come up with a four character framework  that affect our ability to adapt to change, work together and learn.
She sorts everyone into four categories which describe how people tend to respond to expectations. Her four categories are:

Upholders:  They  respond readily to outer and inner expectations
Questioners: They question all expectations; they’ll meet an expectation if they think it makes sense
Rebels: They resist all expectations, outer and inner alike
Obligers: They meet outer expectations, but struggle to meet expectations they impose on themselves

 Response to expectations is apparently very important  for your habits and many aspects of your life.She stresses the importance of understanding  not only how  you operate but also the work patterns and styles of others around you. I hope you can find time to watch the video above. Not only is it interesting but it may allow you to come to a better understanding of how we are all unique and bring different skills, knowledge and qualities to the various teams we belong to.
