Becoming Aware

I think the most important factor in creating a better life for yourself is becoming aware of what you are currently doing.

You need to start to realize how you are currently to change direction to where you want to go.

We often overlook how crucial this is. We think we can just grab onto a new idea or concept and all the sudden be great at it.

This is creating a failure mindset when we do not realize how long change can take. Then, when we fail because we did not have the correct mind set going in, we think we cannot do it or "that lifestyle is not meant for us".

This is not the case. The thing is you have spent your whole life up until this point doing things a certain way. This may have been something you learned from others, was passed on in your family experiences, or just something you picked up through your life.

These can be good and bad habits, but they are you all the same. Now, you expect to change something you have been doing your whole life with some 30-day quick program.

Ya, right.

It turns out to change, you must want to be different, also you must accept that the old version of yourself will constantly try to come back into control.

You must practice the new version of yourself that you want every single day to become it. This is not something that happens overnight and stays forever. This is something that needs to be trained, measured, and constantly pruned.

Now, does this mean you can't be happy with where you are and grateful for all that you currently have? Absolutely not, it just means you need to accept that creating a new version of yourself that you imagine takes time and constant work. It is not a 30-day quick diet or a wake up and be different tomorrow endeavor.

This is a journey, a lifelong experience that you have the choice of taking part in.

Will it be hard?

Yes.

Will it be rewarding?

Absolutely.

IF you don't quit.

Stop thinking in the short term and start understanding how your brain operates.

You must become aware of what you currently are to start moving to where you want to go.
