Change is often difficult, it's taking the first step into the unknown that often holds us back. But there seems to be this inate drive within to push forward, to grow, to spread our wings a little wider.
Today I want to talk about changing from doing to being. I'm thinking about all the reading we do for self help. I know I've been doing it for the past 20+ years! It seems a little soaks in at a time. If we keep at it, change does slowly take place. Being patient with ourselves isn't easy either. Persistance does pay off though.
I want to say there comes a time when we have to put the books down and live what we have been reading about. While that is true to some extent, I think it happens piecemeal. We often can't change all at once.
We do have to make the effort to put into practice what we learn though. Reading about meditation will not help us be more calm!
Make a pledge to integrate something you have learned into your daily routine. Studies show it takes about 30 days of doing something new for our brains to develope new neuropathways to a behavior so that it becomes habit.
Let me know how it goes, or if you need help!
Blessings!
