Take a self-directed journey within.
Trickier, subconscious issues are often the culprit to implementing change.
Ask yourself, “What’s blocking me from implementing new skills?”
You may assume, quite confidently, that procrastination, perfectionism, financial or situational constraints are to blame. Or, default to the old standard, “It’s just the way I am.”
Start by assuming all of these reasons are wrong. Exploring deeper issues of “why” you’re having trouble staying consistent with positive habits is your self-directed path to find gold. As you understand yourself more, new habits and skills will stick, building a solid foundation for your ideal life.
There are lots of times you need an immediate answer, “What should I do about ___ right now?”
As humans, when you encounter something that’s stressful, confusing, or painful, we have an immediate impulse to share our story. When the people in your life aren’t necessarily experienced or kind, sharing complicated issues with them isn’t that helpful. You may even end up feeling much worse.
Start by being a good friend to yourself by guiding yourself using trustworthy advice. Workbooks are designed for you to do as much or as little as you want, it’s all good. There’s no incentive if you accomplish more or less –reading one page versus the whole thing–we don’t care. It’s totally up to your own judgement about what you need.
