Flip the Switch

Change.  I think that if we are honest, we all have an area {or a few} that we'd like to change. For change to happen, the pain of staying where you are has to outweigh the work it will take to get to where you want to go. We talk about this in health coaching all the time, but the beauty of change is that it happens in an instant. Change happens the moment that you decide that you are done with the old and ready for the new. In other words, change happens the moment you decide to flip the switch. Sure, there is a process involved. It can be long and hard and require a lot of work, but when you decide, like really decide, that you are going to do something, you commit yourself to the process. All of a sudden, what seemed long and hard and so far out of reach, is something you can see yourself working toward. I love this so much because you literally flip the switch with anything. It can be something that you want to stop. It can be something you want start. It can be a dream that you want to chase. Anything. But, the first thing, the absolute first thing is….you have to make the decision. You have to flip the switch. Let's explore some common barriers to change as well as some strategies to ensure you can flip the switch and make the changes you want to make. Enjoy!
