Do you REALLY want to change?

If you are like me, you REALLY want to change one or more areas of your life.  Well, I have a suggestion that can get you started today!

Begin to change your life by making any changes that you can identify that are voluntary and visible…

I regularly coach people who are trying to make big, sweeping changes in their health or weight, marriage relationships, personality weaknesses (such as procrastination), or their job situations but they are stuck!  They cannot get focused on where to start nor can they keep momentum once they get started.

My observation is that people who are desperate to change erroneously focus (if not obsess) on what is out of their control rather than on what they can control.  Chasing after that which is elusive or invisible most often leads to inaction. And the only way I have found to make and sustain change is through an action plan!

So what is the antidote to inaction—otherwise fondly labeled “procrastination” or “paralyzation”? 

Immediately make any and all—no matter how small--visible and voluntary changes that you can make.  Right now.  Today, not later, not tomorrow, but today. At this very moment make a list of those things that hurt you and others and stop doing them right now.  Turn immediately away from every little thing that keeps you stuck and run toward the actions (and people) that will help you change.  It's that simple.  

In other words, if you want to change your diet, or your marriage, or your job, then change what you can see and what you can do right now.

A little change will have a big result when it…

shuts the door on old habits,

tells the tempter to go away,

gives you a feeling of achievement rather than disappointment,

empowers you to give back to others,

allows you to receive forgiveness from those you’ve hurt,

reminds you of who you are and affirms your purpose in life!
