Are You Ready For Change?
We all want some sort of improvement in our lifes. Many people want change. But are we all prepared to initiate the change needed to experience change? To quote one of my mentors, Kurek Ashley from the Life Success Club:
BE - DO - HAVE: To BE a successful person, you have to DO the things that person does to HAVE the benefits that person enjoys.
DO the things that are required to HAVE the results (benefits). For most of us, that means change…
Are You Ready For Change?
Nearly every day, we’re trying to change something in our lives. Whether we’re trying to get to work on time, or we’re simply trying to eat a better lunch, our lifestyle undergoes constant changes as a result of our moods, our schedules, and others around us. But when you want to make a bigger change in your life, you need to make sure you are ready for that change. Are you ready? Here’s how to find out.
What is Your Motivation?
Your motivation is the best indicator of your readiness to change. You need to have a clear reason behind trying to change something in your life. For example, if you want to quite smoking, you might be motivated by a bad health test result or by an illness of another smoker you know. By keeping this motivator in your head, you can refer bad to this idea whenever you ‘forget’ why you’re making the lifestyle change in the first place.
What is Your Goal?
For many people, change isn’t as simple as it sounds. Because you might feel like there are numerous things to change, the lack of focus can ensure that you’re not achieving any goals on your list. Try to write down and come up with one goal that you can work toward in your life. This might be something as simple as quitting smoking or something as complicated as eating healthier. And however you define these goals is what you should be working toward.
What is Your Environment?
In order to change your lifestyle, your motivation and your goal aren’t enough. You also need to make sure your environment supports you. If you fill your home with junk food when you want to quit junk food – this isn’t a supportive environment, is it? Figure out what you need to change in your environment first to be certain that your subsequent changes are easier.
Again, in Kurek Ashleys words: BE - DO - HAVE. To BE the person, you have to DO the things, to HAVE the results.
