New direction in life? New career? New business launch? New place to live? New chapter in your relationship? Whatever you are up to, deciding to make a major change in your life often creates a wave of strong and useful emotions. This energy helps you a lot to take the first few steps. But how to ensure that your good start turns into a great run?
Here is the answer:
👉 Make sure that you do not decide out of the moment, but consciously. Decisions made out of the moment feel good but don’t last. Don't get me wrong here, making conscious choices isn't about being "right" or "wrong" or dedicating vast amounts of time to the decision process — it's about owning your choice and standing behind it.
👉 Get your WHY and write it down clearly. Knowing the reasons why you want to change is fundamental. Starting to run without knowing the WHY is like setting sail without a compass. Check also: Is your WHY all about wanting to escape from feeling bad in your current situation? What if you knew how to be at peace and happy where you are right now? If you can do that first, it will be a lot easier to be great somewhere else.
👉 Learn to be okay facing discomfort. Working on a significant change will challenge your comfort zone making you feel scared, doubtful, insecure, judgmental and discouraged at some points of your journey. Your ability to allow negative feelings as part of the game is one of the key factors when working on something outside of your comfort zone.
👉 Be specific about what you want to achieve and when, rather than just "working on it." Operating with goals, planning activities and honoring your schedule isn’t just the best way how to get results. You will also gain trust in yourself and that is the magic fuel you cannot have enough to propel you forward.
👉 It's really important to look forward to what you're going to create. But the real secret is wanting and loving the journey itself. If you are in hurry and want to skip the journey to your goal, it will make it hard to enjoy what you are doing and to create the results you want at the end.
👉 Learn to believe in yourself and in what you do. If you think this is big deal, here you go - that what’s need to get cleaned up first. You might be surprised how easy it is to shift what you think about yourself.
