It’s not December 31st, but I have been thinking about turning a new leaf, about starting anew. There are things that I have been putting off, postponing, ignoring and avoiding, but I'm tired of settling for mediocrity in anything anymore. The problem with most resolutions is that they are rooted in thoughts about the future, not in thoughts of NOW. And I want a change NOW!
When people contemplate change, they think about the future. It’s not: “I am THIS or THAT kind of a person”, but: “I will be THIS or THAT starting from tomorrow, next year...or whatever...”
And, the leap between what we want for ourselves in the future and what we are experiencing in the present is far too great to be overcome by a decision, no matter how determined we think we are.
So, predictably, we fail.
True change happens when we become sick and tired of planning to change, and we change, at least a little bit, RIGHT NOW.
Don’t plan to lose weight next month or next year --> start living and eating the way you want to TODAY.
Stop wishing for a different career or job, and modify your day as best you can TODAY so that it looks closer to what you want your future to be.
Make TODAY what you want TOMORROW to be.
FEEL TODAY HOW YOU ALWAYS WANT TO FEEL.
It’s all within your power - and your power is in the NOW.
Self-pep-talk completed!
