Change happens all the time. Often it changes back in a heartbeat.
Creating lasting change can happen with an “aha moment,”
yet it’s more likely to need a conscious mindset shift — and that takes time.
A dear friend of mine used to say, “anything worth doing, is worth doing badly.”
To this, you can add, “until it’s done better.”
For change to take root, it requires nurturing, and likely a change in our inner dialogue. That’s why it’s important to be aware of our ever-running self-talk.
The greater our awareness, the faster and more lasting the change we want to experience will occur.
Our thoughts are many-layered, like an onion.
Some of our oldest thoughts, those we picked up from our caregivers before we could form our own, are our “root or core” thoughts. We build upon these throughout our lives.
World views and opinions shift as we learn more about the way things work.
Some of the things we learn clash with our root thoughts.
Once we become aware of these root thoughts, we can “make friends” with them, “wave to them” when they pop up, and “thank them” for reminding us of how far we’ve come.
Replace all the pesky thoughts that no longer serve you.
Thoughts that we’re not “good enough,” “smart enough,” “whatever enough”
are no longer needed. Those thoughts are erroneously trying to keep us safe.
We need brave souls now, not safe souls! Brave up!
“Creation” — as creators and co-creators, its’ what we do every day.
