CHANGE YOUR WAYS – CHANGE YOUR LIFE
It’s not always easy to just “change” our ways. Especially when we have been in the habit of doing the same thing over and over. The problem is that by not changing our “ways” we end up with the same results. This can leave us feeling disappointed when we are trying to achieve a life changing goal.
Something that I found instrumental when I set out to “change” something is to figure out what is required of myself to make that change happen successfully. By asking, ‘What am I currently doing that could be interfering with the progress of change?’ (What habit, routine, or pattern is blocking me from the change I so desire?) has been very helpful in identifying the inner work that I need to do. When I am able to see that clearly, it helps me get realistic about the change I am seeking and how to go about it.
The key here is to think about how to break things down into a formula so the change doesn’t feel so overwhelming. By looking inward first, we can then begin to take the outward steps that will lead us to the course of successful change.
