(If you prefer to watch and listen to the concepts of this post you can do so here).
Well… I must have lost my mind. You know how they (not sure who ‘they’ are, but they do)… you know how ‘they’ tell you: “You shouldn’t change more than one thing at a time…” You know… like if you’re trying to figure out an experiment, yeah- an experiment… that’s a good example.
So in a science experiment you’re only supposed to change one ‘variable’ at a time. You’re testing something to see if that variable has any effect on the outcome you’re looking for. Right?
Well the same is true in my ‘world’. Now I’m sure you all know by now I’m trained as a nurse, a coach, and a Reiki Master. Well, being that I own Living Sublime Wellness (LSW) – that also makes me an ‘entrepreneur’.
Now in all of these ‘worlds’ (the coaching world, the business world, the world of entrepreneurship) I’ve been told, taught, and read about this very same fact: “Don’t change more than one thing at a time. Change one thing; test it out. See what works.”
But guess what? That’s the exact opposite of what I’m about to do. That is the exact opposite of what I’m about to tell you about.
In early July, I somehow got introduced to this ‘Daily Awakening Inspiration’ series. Don’t even remember how, but I get these daily emails with these daily conference calls I have access to listening to. Who knows…?
Well, one call (the first call- HA! Talk about being impulsive (easily persuaded?)) really struck a chord. He talked about how we have a blueprint, a lifelong blueprint that is impacting our success. And unless we get a hold of it- and change it- we are likely to make the same old mistakes, suffering from the same old circumstances we’ve always experienced.
I was sold. I wanted a new way, was looking for a new tool. I wanted to create the life of my dreams. I wanted what I hear all of these ‘Law of Attraction’ coaches talking about. I wanted success- and fast.
So I jumped right in. I listened to the CDs to and from work (thank goodness for my 40 minute commute, huh?). I digested what I was listening to. I took notes. I re-listened. I practiced. I embraced. And I am seeing… seeing the changes happening literally before my eyes! It is working! To my (surprise) delight; it is totally working.
Ok, fast-forward to August. I had this great idea (from the CDs and my own observations with my energy levels) to abstain from TV. Well, after about a week… I failed. UGH- that damn SVU marathon on Tuesdays.
Anyway, I noted this ‘failure’ and since I believe in NO failures- only lessons learned I figured… I can start again in September.
But since this has happened to me before (in realms relating to TV and other ‘goals’ I set)… AND- even more importantly- since this has happened to YOU before (you’ve told me when I’ve asked)… I’ve made a DRASTIC decision.
I am doing the exact opposite of what all of my coaches, teachers, trainings, and science experiments tell me… and I am CHOOSING to make MULTIPLE CHANGES this month.
Are you with me?
I’m creating the September Support Challenge. And if you’d like to join me- visit this post for more information. (It’s going to be kept open all month so that we can comment back and forth- so that we can support each other, so that we can list our self-change challenges out).
Who knows how this will work… who knows what will happen… all I know is I want to change. I know you want to change. I know we all want to change. So instead of trying on our own and worrying about not succeeding all of the way- let’s do it TOGETHER!
Accountability Change.
Change as a team. Change that is lasting, that is successful, that is fun. Let’s do this!
