\u00a0<\/strong>When I started my transformation a few years back I realized that Change is a Process, not an event!<\/p>\n

I know that I don\u2019t always feel like training or even thinking about what is coming up in my life to get ready for.\u00a0 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?\u00a0 Which to be fair is kind of true.\u00a0 My life has gotten really busy and yes, I have fallen back into a few bad habits.\u00a0 Over the last couple weeks, I have been beating myself up over this.\u00a0 But that does not help anything other than put me deeper into a hole I DO NOT want to go down.\u00a0 But then I remember\u2026.<\/p>\n

It happens to all of us\u2014 yes, even me.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 I had to dig deep into old blogs and my hard head to get me back on track.\u00a0 The bad news is I am beating myself up too much for the few steps I have taken backwards.\u00a0 The good news I know what I need to do to move forward again to get back on track!!!\u00a0 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!\u00a0 But I want to share a few things I use in the hopes that maybe they could help someone reading this\ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I have referred myself back to my most recent Vision Board to remind myself of where I want to go.\u00a0 But here is my secret\u2026. I also look at past vision Boards to see how things have changed and reality is how far I am come.\u00a0 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!\u00a0 Pretty cool I\u2019ve 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!<\/li>\n
  2. 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.\u00a0 When I look at them from 5 or even 10 years ago, I see I have hit more (though not all) of my plans.\u00a0 How cool! I am excited after looking at these to rekindle my journey!<\/li>\n
  3. 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\u2019s ideas on things I am able to see and learn from.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 So, I read and read and read.\u00a0 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!<\/li>\n
  4. 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.\u00a0 I have hopes that the poem stuff will come back soon\u2026 Sign of barriers, confusion and loss for me.<\/li>\n
  5. I go outside and sit on the ground shoes off and just be. Try this it ALWAYS helps!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Usually I know how to end a blog and the information I want to state but this one is different!\u00a0 So, I will just end with\u2026.. to our (all of our) journeys and next steps to our Visions!<\/p>\n

    Peace and Happiness<\/p>\n
