A Simple Method for Transforming Habits

iCoach — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 08:44:01 +0000

Changing lifelong Habits can be extremely difficult to do. I have within my arsenal many great strategies and techniques that I picked up at Life Coaching School. I also spent several years studying NLP. However, when it comes down to it, many of these techniques tend to over-complicate the process, when in fact changing a Habit can at times be achieved by following simple suggestions that seem insignificant on the surface, yet very powerful in practice.

For me personally, the simple practice of daily Visualization works wonders. It doesn’t create change overnight, however it does create change progressively and subtly over time.

Overcoming Emotional Turbulence

There have been many moments in my life when the forces of CHANGE decided to pull my life apart unexpectedly. During these times I would attempt to maintain my composure under the emotional turbulence by grounding myself in Familiarity – in things that provided me with a Sense of Purpose.

I would involve myself in activities that enabled me to gain a Sense of Certainty over my life. Furthermore, I would turn and consciously Reframe the Uncertainty of CHANGE into purposeful action that allowed me to perceive my circumstances as only one thread of a Bigger Canvas that I didn’t yet fully understand or comprehend.

This SENSE OF PURPOSE subsequently provided me with the confidence I needed to calm my emotions and focus on the journey ahead.

The Process of Change Brings Wisdom

Transitioning through different phases of Life can be very difficult. At times these changes are forced upon us by events and circumstances, while at other times we force them upon ourselves through our own limiting thoughts, beliefs and decisions. However, change doesn’t have to be painful when we see it for what it actually is.

Change is nothing more than a natural progression that helps us acquire deeper wisdom and understanding about ourselves, our life and our own abilities.

Change Doesn’t Happen Overnight

Changing old patterns of behavior has at times been difficult and somewhat of a challenging experience. Many times I would simply forget that long-term “change” is a process and not a Sudden Revelation. Changing old behaviors or beliefs doesn’t happen overnight, but it does happen over time with a little patience, courage, discipline and commitment.

“Certainty” Is Only An Illusion

It is said that the only certainties in life are Death & Taxes. It is also said that the concept of “certainty” is an illusion – it simply does not exist. CERTAINTY simply cannot exist in a world ruled by entropy and evolution. And if we give into the illusion that it does exist, than we clearly miss the opportunities that the process of Adversity, Change and Transformation can bring forth into our lives when it is thrust upon us.
