So, last week we covered about how hard change can be - what have you changed this week?

I mentioned the change I started with having a cold shower every day, the latest update is - I am still doing it (every day) and I am definitely feeling better for it, albeit on one day I made a school boy error of going for a cycle ride in the middle of the day which meant another cold shower afterwards - I clocked this half way through the ride which didn’t help as I started procrastinating from that point onwards!  So far its been almost 2 weeks and I've not missed a day.

• Change is never easy, yet to move forward, I have to do things differently, otherwise if I keep doing the same things I will keep getting the same results  
• I have already noticed I don’t feel the cold anywhere near as much, as well as feeling more vibrant throughout the day - perhaps it does work and trying something different is worth it!
• Sharing my proposed change meant I had set up a group of people who I had to be accountable to and this helped me each day from procrastination to just getting on with it 

For the next couple of weeks I am going to cover the 10 steps to making a change, so hang around, and keep clicking back into this blog......

Changing your life has nothing to do with your age, gender, life’s circumstances, or anything, but it has everything to do with YOU – yourself.  Everyone wants to change their life for the better, but not everyone dares to make the decision and actually do it.  

When you decide to change, it is going to be hard at first. This is a normal phenomenon because you’re not used to the changes.  Sadly, most people don’t dare to make the change. And even if they do, they’d give up halfway because they feel uncomfortable going out of their comfort zone.  

Lets start:

The first and most important step to changing your life is to identify and define the change you want you have to understand what you want to change before you can change, right?  Most people never make this decision. They feel stuck in life. They know something isn’t right, but they didn’t manage to find out what kind of change they want to make.  As a result, they are where they are forever. 

And when you have no idea what to change, there’s no way you can change. You have to understand this concept: You cannot fix what you don’t know is broken. 

When you want to lose weight, the first step you need to do is to weigh yourself and then identify how much additional fat you want to lose, right? 

Before you can embark on a journey, you must set your destination first. It is the same when it comes to changing your life. So, what do you want to change?  What area or which part of your life that you feel unsatisfied with and you want to change it? 

 Or is it that there is a certain habit that you wanted to let go of or learn to develop? 

• Do you want to quit smoking? 
• Do you want to quit drinking? 
• Do you want to start exercising? 
• Do you want to quit ............

You must name the change you want, then and only then, you can craft a plan and come up with a strategy to initiate the change.   Make Your Decision And Commit To It 

Once you have identified the change you want, you must make the decision for it and commit to it. Again, this is what most people never do. No wonder people fail to change and the change doesn’t last. They fail to understand the true meaning of making a decision. Making a decision means it is final. You will never think of another option anymore. When you say you decide to lose 10 pounds, that’s it; you will achieve it no matter what. 

Sadly, most people never practice the power of committing to a decision. They decide to start an exercise plan, but 3 days later, they give up and overturn their decision. 

I have seen people started blogs, websites, and side hustles like they started a YouTube channel, but sadly, most of them didn’t stick to their decisions. They do it only when they feel motivated. When they don’t have the motivation? They don’t do it. Never let this happen to you. Once you have decided, it means you have made up your mind, and you must commit to it. 

The more you practice your power to stay with your decision, the more self-esteem and the more decisive you will become. 

Action Steps: 

1. Take out a piece of paper and write down your decision to change. Write down what you want to change.
2. Write down the things that you will never accept any more in your life. And write down how your ideal life should look like.
3. More importantly, write down WHY you want to change. Your purpose will be the driving force behind to support your change. 

People fail to change because they don’t have a strong and emotional purpose for the change they desire. When your reason is strong, you will do whatever it takes to achieve what you have decided to do.
