The Process of Change

Changing your life is rarely like repairing a broken fence. It’s not a single event. Changing your life requires ongoing effort. Your habits create your life. The little things you do on a consistent basis determine your outcomes. Changing your habits is a priority, but there are several other components to creating a new life.

Your goal is a target. Prioritize the goal. Read and write your goal each day. Twice is ideal. Review your goal once in the morning and once before bed. How many times have you started on a new goal only to realize you’d completely forgotten all about it? Reviewing it daily will prevent that from happening again.

Develop habits that will result in success. You don’t become rich, poor, fat, skinny, lonely, popular, unpopular, or an expert overnight. Any change is uncomfortable. Actually, any significant change is uncomfortable. And that’s the key. Keep the amount of change in your life relatively small. A series of small changes are as effective as a significant change, but the small changes are much easier and comfortable to implement. ‣ There are many ways to decrease the amount of discomfort felt when altering your life.

 If nothing in your life seems to be working, there’s good news. It doesn’t take as much to enhance your life as you might think. Just a few changes in your daily habits can bring about incredible results.
