When I started my transformation a few years back I realized that Change is a Process, not an event!
I know that I don’t always feel like training or even thinking about what is coming up in my life to get ready for. When I sit down to think about why I feel like that, maybe my brain is telling me that I have not made much progress lately? Which to be fair is kind of true. My life has gotten really busy and yes, I have fallen back into a few bad habits. Over the last couple weeks, I have been beating myself up over this. But that does not help anything other than put me deeper into a hole I DO NOT want to go down. But then I remember….
It happens to all of us— yes, even me.
I spent quit a few hours recently in my yurt and in the outdoors because that is what I do whenever I feel myself going back to old habits and feel my goals and dreams being compromised. I had to dig deep into old blogs and my hard head to get me back on track. The bad news is I am beating myself up too much for the few steps I have taken backwards. The good news I know what I need to do to move forward again to get back on track!!! I have many tricks for my brain, and I am sure they may be similar to others who use tricks, and yet maybe it is foreign to others! But I want to share a few things I use in the hopes that maybe they could help someone reading this😊
- I have referred myself back to my most recent Vision Board to remind myself of where I want to go. But here is my secret…. I also look at past vision Boards to see how things have changed and reality is how far I am come. For example, in 1996 my vision board showed a place to live, a car and food on the table. Now I show my property in Oregon built up as a retreat center, with my house here too, a tractor (lol) and Healthy Plant based food growing everywhere, to share with anyone looking to improve their health! Pretty cool I’ve come a long way! Though there are similarities between 1996 and now I think I have honed in on specifics for things I want in my vision!
- I refer back to my Dream books and old Journals. I am reminded of where I want to be at the end of this year, 5 years and 10 years. When I look at them from 5 or even 10 years ago, I see I have hit more (though not all) of my plans. How cool! I am excited after looking at these to rekindle my journey!
- I start a new book someone has shared with me. Now it takes me forever to read a book (not my favorite thing) but I use this as a way to learn more and see other people’s ideas on things I am able to see and learn from. If someone gives me a book, I feel it is because they feel, or the universe feels, I am in need of the information somehow. So, I read and read and read. It may take me a year to get through a book, but I am always thankful for the information and feel better off for it even if I might have different views, I find I am willing to learn from others too!
- I start a new art project or write a new poem. Yes, it has been a long time since I have written a poem, but the art thing is good for my head. I have hopes that the poem stuff will come back soon… Sign of barriers, confusion and loss for me.
- I go outside and sit on the ground shoes off and just be. Try this it ALWAYS helps!
Usually I know how to end a blog and the information I want to state but this one is different! So, I will just end with….. to our (all of our) journeys and next steps to our Visions!
Peace and Happiness
