The more I work with the process of change, the more I think we all need to lighten up.
We’ve just crossed the mythical 21 day marker in the 100 Day Promise and things are getting interesting.
Two important things have become clear:
- Consistency helps you focus on what’s important.
- Devotion keeps your heart fully engaged.
Because the process of change is a bit more maze than labyrinth.
It’s easy to slip, take a wrong turn, and find yourself back at the beginning.
That’s when we most want to give up.
We forget that a slip is just a slip unless we give it meaning.
Give up the meaning, and take another step forward, and another…until suddenly you’ve created a pattern of consistency.
“Our bodies change our minds, and our minds can change our behaviour, and our behaviour can change our outcomes.” – Amy Cuddy
You can change your outcomes.
Instead of getting pulled in by the emotions and drama of a slip, notice them as an observer.
Take in all the details, nod your head in sympathy and say, “Isn’t that interesting…”
Laugh at yourself. Let go of significance.
Lighten the fuck up.
You don’t always have to have the starring role in the drama of your life.
You can choose to walk off the stage.
