There are plenty of people that sell motivation in a bottle. They wrap it up and tell you everything you want to hear, but the truth is...change is not easy. Change is not a destination, it's a journey. Along that journey you'll have good days, bad days, days where you feel like you are on top of the mountain and days where you question how the heck you can move forward. The truth is, change is challenging. It stretches your faith, increases your knowledge and shakes up your relationships, BUT if you press through it the rewards are well worth the investment. Here are some ways to navigate through the highs and lows of change.
- Develop a vision of change that serves as your mental picture of the new life you're going after
- It's important that you can SEE your change
- Grab some card stock, makers, magazines and markers and make your vision board
- Break your change into small achievable goals with an action plan
- Designate a group of friends that can support you through the highs and lows of change
- Get a theme song!
- There's nothing like a playlist that can soothe the beast of change when you're frustrated or needing motivation
- Find some activities that you enjoy for days when you need to relieve the stress of change (I enjoy a good run or a round of youtube karaoke)
Now that you have some practical steps for managing change, it's time to start dreaming. Imagine the life you deserve and go for it. Change may not be easy but it is ACHIEVABLE. With every step you are clipping your wings to...FLY FREE!
