| Making Change |
It's hard enough to make change when you're shopping, much less when its you have to
change some long ingrained habit that you're not sure you want to break.
What's change all about anyway?
Okay, we're not talking about dollars and cents, we're talking about the hard, gut wrenching
process of stopping one behavior or habit and sometimes replacing it with another.
The Merriam-Webster dictionary has about 10 different definitions for change. For me, the
simplest one is "to make different in some particular way". When it comes to change, we're
talking about making the familiar, unfamiliar. To keep the change, we have to make the
unfamiliar, familiar.
Just thinking about it makes you want to avoid it, but it's a necessary thing when we need to
make positive change in our lives.
When our habits and behavior begin to get in the way of moving ahead or being healthy, then
we have to take a long and hard look at what we're doing. It's not easy. What we have to
change is usually something we're very passionate about.
How do you initiate real change and learn to let go of bad habits that hold you back?

Here are a few places to get started:
- Identify the issues. What's great and whats not. Why isn't what you're doing working?
What's holding you back? - Know the origin. Where did the habit come from? Is it a hand me down from childhood?
Did you inherit an unhealthy behavior from a predecessor? - Evaluate your attitude. How you feel about the change and why it's happening in your
life makes a difference. If you resent the circumstance, you'll resist the change. - Take baby steps. Radical change is hard. Introduce new behavior gradually to ease
your way into things. Add new behaviors slowly and stick with it until they become a habit.
