Is it Time to Change?
Change is hard. We hear it often, we say it often, and we end up believing it.
Most of us want to change some things in our lives, yet…? It could involve changing a habit or just trying something different—try brushing your teeth with the opposite hand tonight to better understand.
In business or our personal life, change requires effort, resilience, planning, and support to make it happen. Some approaches that don’t work:
Overwhelming the mind—too many things at once
Not considering how the change affects the whole
Our mind will always try to return to the familiar
Not understanding the benefits.
Poor communications.
All encompassing.
Wanting to change others without changing ourselves.
As you become more aware and gather data on your ‘new self’ the old brain still craves the emotions and chemicals that were released from the past. Your brain starts to mutate, and you are no longer that person. That old self is being pruned of its memories.
To accelerate the change, mindfulness meditation, visualization, speaking, and becoming the new self are the tools to learn. But your brain will still anticipate the events of the past to be present because it has been trained to operate that way and does not like being uncomfortable. Staying conscious/present takes an enormous amount of energy.
How to increase being more present:
Collect ID data and emotions – focus on what you want, what were its warning symbols?
Observe—meditate on it, do breathwork, be mindful in diet and exercise.
Reflect–body location, perspective and focus on thoughts and words that crop up.
Writing–captures patterns solidify new thoughts – you think and see what you want.
Reconceptualize–reframe your thought patterns.
Activise–take three diaphragmic breaths, practice the steps above and anchor new thoughts. State what you want not what you are against. Practice it until it captures you.
Sometimes the mind is the biggest enemy of our body, and we can choose to inhibit or accelerate that process moment-by-moment. You have the choice to say “I want to become someone else” so that the old self no longer defines you. The benefits, freedom, energy, and health that comes from it is all worth it, but you choose. All I do is guide and accelerate that.
