Keep. Going.

I have 4 tips for you and then a little Yoga + Essential Oils that can make all difference.

People are amazed to hear me speak of changes I have been working on for ten years.  They assume change is effortless for me and I flow through life with ease.

I struggle, too, because I still have to do the work we all need to do.

What does make it easier for me, though, is a change of perspective.

You know the saying, “Pain is inevitable, suffering is not”? Well, that’s my motto. While the work I need to do can be painful, because of these perspective shifts, I find I do not suffer.

Here are four things I keep in mind as I am going through change:

Tip #1: Remember why I started in the first place!:  

I decided to change something for a reason. I remember why I started in the first place. When I keep that reason in my consciousness, I am so much more likely to keep going!

Tip #2: Do not expect perfection:

I know I will not be perfect & do not expect perfection. I honor the gray area in my life.  Some days I do everything I want to do, others nothing.  I don’t see myself as on or off the bandwagon so there is no room for judgment.  I just keep going.  Each moment is a new moment and a time to begin again.

Tip #3: Make the first step easy:

I know the first step can be the hardest so I make it as small as possible.  Once I get going it gets easier.

Tip #4: Prioritize self-care:

I know change is challenging and what I am asking of myself is alot.  I honor the work I am doing and make sure I take care of myself. (And, frankly, this is the hardest part for me – just ask anyone who knows me well. But I DO do it when I am working on something particularly hard. I get to bed earlier, each better foods, drink enough water, take baths, use essential oils that support my path and more!

Keep in mind your vision, the reason you wanted to create change in the first place.  Keep that vision as visible as possible and keep going!!
