3 Reasons why we can still move on and create change.
Ready for another quick reality check?
Making a change to your lifestyle can sometimes be the most pressured thought you can feel, why? habits can be tough to kill. One of my strongest challenges was making myself wake up at 5am to meditate and then take myself to the gym, I was way over weight and felt very uncomfortable in my skin.
I resisted making this change for sometime, maybe 2 years or so.
So yes, you may feel resistance, just as I did. And it may not be easy. But we all have to stretch out of our comfort zones and move our lives forward.
The truth is and I say this time and time again, living is a risk. Happiness is a risk. If you’re not a little scared and uncomfortable sometimes, then you’re not doing it right. Don’t let mistakes and failures worry you, we need to worry about what you’re giving up when you don’t even try. Worry about the life you’re not living and the opportunities you’re letting go, as you merely exist in the safety of your comfort zone.
I remember one of the most liberating times for me was when I was highly insecure and I wanted to go on stage and grab the mic but this insecure thinking kept me from moving forward and doing it, then I just kicked myself out of my comfort zone and went and grabbed the mic, after doing what I did the response I received was amazing and this only lead to me being even more confident within myself and to know, like Nike just do it.
Give yourself permission to be one of the people who survived doing it wrong, who made mistakes, but recovered from them and grew into your strongest self.
Give yourself permission to embrace failure but to know that it is only temporary and just an error in thinking.
Three good reasons it’s time for all of us to embrace change and move onward…
1. There’s plenty of life left to be lived.
It’s never too late to live a day that makes you proud. I'm 49 and I still get on stage and rap for the love of hip hop, If you don’t learn anything else from this, learn that. We get one shot at the present, (watch 8 mile) and we can make it great. Today is the day! There’s no age limit on changing your course, and to settle in and be stuck in a life that isn’t what you may particularly desire or want.
Honestly, it’s never too late or too early to be who you are capable of being. There’s no perfect time – you can simply start and stop whenever you want, its your choice. You can change or stay the same. You can make the best or the worst of today. It’s up to you, for me I want to make the best of it. Even if I'm under the weather and I'm staying in doors I still make the best of that situation. Do things that startle you. Feel things you’ve never felt before. Engage with people who make you smile and who helps you grow. Live a life you’re proud of, too many times I hear I don't want you to make the same mistakes I did however mistakes are to be made, if your proud of how you live then share that life. And if you find that you’re not, have the courage to change things. It takes big courage to change when people around you don't agree.
One of my fav quotes I came across not to long ago.
"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."
Henry David Thoreau
2. Holding on to old pain is self-abuse.
Your past has given you the strength and wisdom you have today, so celebrate it. Don’t let it haunt you. So many people I know replay painful memories over and over in their head, this is a form of self-abuse. Toxic thoughts create a toxic life. which will bleed and project onto others. Make peace with yourself and your past.
When you heal your thoughts, you heal the health of your happiness. So now is the time to stop focusing on old problems and things you don’t want in your future. Because the more you think about them, the more you attract what you fear into your everyday experiences – you become your own worst enemy. Ask someone what they really really want, very few will answer with I want this, that and the 3rd however in my experiences most people say well I know I don't want, so again focus on what you do want rather than what you don't.
3. Moving on creates positive change.
You may blame everyone else and think, “Poor me! Why do all these crappy things keep happening to me?” "I'm a good person". But the only thing those scenarios all have in common is YOU. And this is GOOD news, because it means YOU alone have the power to change things, or change the way you think about things.
When you give your power away or blame an outside source, someone else for your heartache and pain, ultimately you give them the power and until they change you will be in pain and heartache.
There is something very powerful and liberating about surrendering to change and embracing it – this is where personal growth and evolution reside. So take you power back and make your decision and embrace your change.
And of course, if you're struggling with any of this, know this, you are not alone. Many of us are right there with you, working hard to feel better, think more clearly, and get our lives back on track.
