A New Year
As we begin the new year, often this is the time people set new goals, and begin working on a new you. I want to challenge this status and consider that we should always be trying to grow. Instead of saying, “I’ll start tomorrow” why not say “I will do it now”. This is a philosophy that most successful people around the world have. If you are looking to make changes this coming year, Id like to provide a small insight on how to make them stick this time.
Why is it that when we want to change or improve, we often don’t and begin to fall back into what is comfortable? The reason is that our mind and body is hardwired to do this. Comfortable is safe, and our body is designed to keep us safe. Rather than taking the moment to be uncomfortable and grow to make it comfortable, the feeling of uneasiness is our body telling us we shouldn’t be doing this.
In order to get past this, we must take the time to work on our minds and tell the mind to listen to us. So, as you move into your new goals this year, make sure that you are working on your mind first, and conditioning it to listen to you, rather than what the body wants.
