Are there things in your life you want to say “NO MORE TO”?
Posted by Kathy Underwood on Fri, Oct 21, 2011 @ 05:00 AM
Are you doing things in your life that don’t feel good and suck the energy out of you? But you still find yourself doing them anyway. Are you out of integrity with who you are or making yourself feel awful and depressed because of your mind set or behaviors you continue to do? Old patterns and habits are hard to break. Many times we would like to be different and do things differently but don’t know what else to do. So we keep doing the same thing even when we know it’s not “right”.
What are you willing to say “No More to” and “Why not”? Make a list of the things you are going to say “No More to”. The first step towards being different is acknowledging that you want to make a change. Also, answer the question “Why not.” What you are asking yourself is what is the cost on your life if you continue this behavior. Let’s say, you want to stop procrastinating. What is the list of things you are going to start doing this week that you have put off for a long time? Write them down and next to the new behavior is the action step to moving forward. The “Why not” to procrastinating can be things like, I will feel better about myself, I will be happier, and I will be more fulfilled because this brings me joy.
Take time today or this weekend to make your list of “No mores” and “Why not’s”. Imagine and visualize your life without your limiting beliefs and blocks. It feels pretty good. Now, the work is to implement the Action steps that you have designed to create the life you want. Act on the new thought or belief by committing to the Action steps that you designed. Take small steps every minute and every day to break your old familiar patterns and habits.
Create a support system or get professional help that will allow you to create the life that has meaning for you. Remember, that we all need help and support and can’t figure out everything on our own. I know I can’t. If you have questions or would like to meet with me please feel free to contact me.
