The Anatomy of Change That Gets Results

The Anatomy of Change That Gets Results

            According to various professionals, it takes between 21 and 30 days of consistently implementing a change before it becomes a part of you. That statistic makes change sound like an easy task to conquer. Seems like it only takes consistency to change a behavior or habit. So why is it so hard for people to change?

            Truth be told, it takes more than longevity of a new action to make a behavior a permanent fixture of your new lifestyle. There are five additional key components needed to successfully produce the change you desire and deserve.

Keep in mind that the end result is to produce the positive change you want in your life.

            In order to be consistent with change, MOTIVATION is essential. Motivation creates a burning desire to carry out your feat for the long haul without giving in. Develop the motivation you need to defeat any obstacles that will get in your way. Accomplish the desire to change by rewarding yourself after every step that draws you closer to completing your goals.

            Before beginning your journey to change, conduct a SELF- ASSESSMENT. Analyze your strengths and weaknesses. once you truthfully come to terms with that you can and what you cannot do, use the data collected wisely. Being aware of your weaknesses are not to make your deficits known. If you know your weaknesses, you can use your strengths to overcome and diminish your weak points.

            To remain steady on your inclination to change, be sure your GOALS ARE REALISTIC. Goals that are within reach are more likely to be obtained. Goals that do not match your skill set, background knowledge or potentials will lead you to quit before you even make it to the half way mark. Realistic goals will not mean your standards are low. Realistic goals set the stage for you to strive to achieve more & more after completing other goals that were realistically obtainable.  

            Consistently stay on track with change by periodically REEVALUATING where you are. Set check points throughout the month after you start on your journey to change. Reevaluating every week is ideal, do not go longer than 2 weeks without checking in with yourself. When evaluating your pathway to change, determine what is working & what is not working. Implementing more of what’s right & replace what has gone wrong. Trial & error is a normal cycle within the process of change. But do not linger in error because it will cause you to give up.

            Another factor pertinent to produce sustainable change is having POSITIVE ROLE MODELS. Role models should be selected by how well they support you & hold you accountable.  Having the strength & stamina to create a change is not a smooth sailing task. You need a cheer team to push you to the end. ole models do not always come in the form of family or friends. Anyone who makes a positive, “I want to be different” attitude vibrate throughout your soul is the ideal role model.

           

           

            So now you are sweating bullets because you thought change would be as easy as putting on a different pair of socks. Anything that promotes the lifestyle you desire & deserve is worth blood, sweat & tears. Change needs consistency & consistency equals power. Willpower gets you to the next level of success.

Quick Question: What Do You Expect?

Quick Question: What Do You Expect?

            Overzealous expectations can cause unwarranted anxiety and disappointment. You need to set your expectations based on your current and desired lifestyle, and the resources you can and are willing to access. Most importantly, there is not an exact formula for arranging expectations. You are unique, and your action rhythms cannot be determined by anyone other than yourself.

            Determine if your expectations are right for you.

           

Thinking Point #1:

What are your strengths & weaknesses?

            Create a T- chart that lists your strengths on one side and your weaknesses on the other side. Your strengths will drive your expectations. Stick to what you are good at, and your expectations will be fulfilled.

            On the other hand, you can also use your weaknesses to drive your expectations. So, you are wondering how can weaknesses be good. Well, here’s how! First, your weaknesses can direct your focus on areas to improve which means you expect to be a better you. Secondly, weaknesses can be overcome by your strengths and in turn signifies you can expect no less than the best outcome.   

Thinking Point #2:

What are your values and beliefs?

            Belief systems are instrumental to determining your expectations. For example, if you believe that only men can perform certain duties, you will believe you can or cannot do those same tasks depending on if you are male or female. Have an all- inclusive, unbiased belief system so that you can strive to achieve whatever you desire.

            Place high value on rules, cultures, attitudes, etc. to determine the type of lifestyle you expect to lead. Be open, fair and respectful to all aspects of how a lifestyle of value should be lived. The higher your values are towards understanding, empathy and quality; the closer your expectations will be to success.

  

Thinking Point #3:

What does the world need from you?

            If you want bigger expectations, expand your reach. Most people only focus on including close family and friends when setting expectations. Family and friends cover only a small perimeter of the universe that you can make a difference in. In order for your high expectations to be fulfilled, you must have a greater mission of reaching a larger mass of the population. Successful expectations are connected to the purpose you have in life, and those you serve with your purpose.

3 Ways to Strike Out Past Mistakes

3 Ways to Strike Out Past Mistakes

            Twenty something years ago, I didn’t view my life as a stepping stone that would boost me to my future success. When experiencing trials and tribulations, the only thoughts that are reoccurring is “why me?” and “please, let this be over soon”. Little did I know, those mistakes were the gateways to opening unimaginable potentials.

            So how can one get over the devastation of past mistakes? Your willingness and openness to view past mistakes as a blessing takes maturity of the mind, body and soul. Embrace the journey in life rather it be good or bad. Remember that your experiences are unique to you and no one can ever replicate or match the journey that you travel.

           

        Strike 1: Past mistakes are lessons.

To truly view your life from a positive perspective, think of any mistakes made as a life lesson. School yourself based on the mistakes you have made in the past. Over time unravel the mystery of what your mistakes teach you about life. Use the testimony of your mistakes to know how to handle future occurrences.

            

        Strike 2: Past mistakes build strength.

As the saying goes, “what doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger”. Surviving the turmoil of mistakes shows that you have developed stamina. If you can overcome the mistakes that you have endured and are now able to steer yourself in the right direction, strength is a trait that you surely possess. Use your strength (survival) to defeat your weaknesses (past mistakes).

            

        Strike 3: Past mistakes guide your future decisions.

After your past mistakes have kicked your life around awhile, it is time to make wiser decisions. Past mistakes help with developing your decision making process. Past mistakes should enlighten you about what “NOT” to do moving forward. Make a resolve with yourself that your past mistakes will not be repeated. Past mistakes can be a cycle of regrets and remorse. Change your life’s pathway into a linear uplifting journey by making wiser decisions.

           

Well, you’ve had three strikes. Now you are out! You are out of the past and making better strides towards the future you desire and deserve. Past mistakes are a part of you forever, but it does not have to define your future.

Past mistakes can be used as a positive motivator by teaching you new ways to handle life. Overcoming mistakes made gives you the energy to sustain future pains. It provides a blueprint to steer you away from repeated mishaps.
