A Short Story on The Rider, The Elephant, and The Path.

Thread

“The Rider, The Elephant, and The Path” is a very useful analogy in behavior change.

The Rider represents the rational part of your mind that plans the journey.

He needs specific and measurable targets to guide the elephant.

This can be done by using scheduling or implementation intentions.

The Elephant represents the emotional part of your mind that provides the power for the journey.

He needs to be motivated to go in the right direction.

This can be done by starting small, celebrating small wins,
using accountability, and track your progress.

The Path represents your environment.

To travel effortlessly, the rider and elephant need the desired path to be as easy as possible,
and undesired paths to be as hard as possible.

Improve your map.

Motivate your elephant.

Clear the path. Then get moving.

And whenever you get stuck, simply repeat and refine these steps until the rider and the elephant reach their destination.
