We have all experienced attempts and failures at creating changes both internally and in our circumstances. This can have negative impacts for us, including being hesitant to try again. The thing is we are changing, either intentionally for better or negatively by default. It seems we have a sort of gravitational pull toward the familiar, even when it is painful. But real change is possible.
Some suggestions for creating change:
Start small. One or two changes at a time. Think each one through carefully.
• How will making this change
benefit you and others?
This is your Why
• What will making this change
involve?
This is your How
• What steps do you need to put in
place to make it happen?
This is your detailed Plan
• What obstacles do you need to
plan for?
• Make sure your steps are
reasonable and sustainable.
Record and celebrate your wins. Track the times when you didn’t follow through.
• What prevented the
follow-through?
• How can you avoid that situation
in the future? Plan for it, then get
back on track.
• Forgive yourself and keep going.
Avoid letting an attitude of defeat
take you down.
• When it gets hard remember
your Why
