Part 3 in Three Keys to Successful Change
Do you have a change you’d like to make and, so far, have had difficulty making? Here’s what I suggest.
1) Identify what you want to change, something you’d like to be or feel or do differently in your life.
Be very clear and specific about what you want. Of course, if it’s something you’re “lights on” about (a vision, dream, or desire that energizes and enlivens you), that’s a significant boost to the process of change.
2) Find a relationship that will inspire you and give you hope.
This relationship is the foundation upon which your successful change will be built so pay close attention to who you choose. You want an individual or a community with people, methods, approaches, and strategies that light you up, that you’re energized and
enlivened by, that you’re drawn to.
3) Give yourself permission and the time to learn, practice, and master (with guidance, direction, support from your new relationship) the new skills that will enable you to make the change you want to make.
4) Allow your view of yourself, your situation, and your life to be changed as well.
Yes, some changes can be difficult to make and that doesn’t mean it’s hopeless.
When you’re having difficulty making a change you’d like to make, try using the three crucial keys to change: relate, repeat, reframe. Your new hope, new skills, and new ways of thinking will allow you to make significant, important changes in your life.
Enjoy!
