Here's an exercise to help you make an effective change rather than hoping for things to be different.
Take a sheet of paper and a pen and draw two circles apart from each other. One on top, and the other on bottom half of the paper.
On the top circle, write your present obstacles; Things that are currently limiting you from getting what you desire. ( procrastination, fear, self doubt, poor self image,etc)
On the bottom circle list all the things you want; Things you desire in your life (better relationships with your mate, make more money, increase self confidence, etc) be specific.
Now you have two circles in front of you. Take a good look at them: these two circles are not related to each other. They are two completely separate entities; Two very different "movies" or sceneries we all tend to spend time thinking about.
The mistake we make is thinking that hanging in circle one will get us to circle two... Unfortunately, it DOESNT!!
We look at circle one, our challenges or difficult situations, and see the areas of our lives we need to work on or improve, for example; "I need to work on having a better relationship with my husband".
The mistake we make, is thinking that when we look at the problems in our lives, we're trying to improve them.
The question is, what do you focus on when trying to improve your life, where is your attention?
On circle one right?
Keeping your focus on circle one will never get you to circle two - what you really want!
As long as you stay there nothing will change!
As Albert Einstein said,
"Problems cannot be solved with the same mind set that created them."
We need to move into a higher level of consciousness; To become more aware of where we are spending or directing our energy towards.
Today, instead of thinking about how to cope, create something new, something you did not have before.
