Change happens at the edge of your comfort zone!

I’m currently taking an incredible online course that spans 90 days- basically a self help course. My first module of ‘wake up productive’ is amazing and has already given me so much insight! I stopped the recording to write this post after the instructor said these words: “Change happens at the edge of 
your comfort zone.” 


Yes, that’s absolutely true! We truly cultivate what we want in our lives through awareness-willpower-action, or intentional repetition! Many times we ‘know’ what’s good for us, but we aren’t disciplined enough to be intentional about incorporating it into our routine.


 I’d like to try something. If you (the reader) have something/anything that you just know would make your life better, or easier, like simply eating a balanced breakfast before you start your busy day, I’m asking you to make this one thing a new routine in your life! 


Make a plan for this one action, write it down, visualize yourself doing it and how you will feel, then take any appropriate actions to help yourself along! Like maybe putting your gym shoes next to your bed with an outfit, or putting a glass of water next to your bed so you see it first thing in the morning. Maybe preparing a nutritious lunch the evening before. Set yourself up for success for this one ritual that will enhance your life - soon, it will become habit and you will begin layering more and more routines into your morning/life!




 Set the tone of your own life to be proactive rather than reactive! I’m giving it a go, and it feels so empowering and good! Please keep me posted on your success and stumbles (in this post). I’d like to expand helping others do this in a most useful way! Thanks, and have a lovely Sunday! ❀ Joan

Change is a good thing!




Don't be afraid to change. You may lose something good, but you may gain something even better.
saw this at Peace Love and Wisdom


The one certainty is the result. By doing the same thing repeatedly, avoiding change and redirection, we are committing ourselves to the same results. Change is a cool thing, it costs nothing, yet can offer you the most outrageous outcomes! Simply driving home a differ
ent route will show you other possibilities, you'll encounter new faces, new opportunities. Change is just that - it’s different, we’re not wearing that comfortable shoe anymore. Sometimes change can feel awkward and difficult; that’s because we are creatures of habit. Then dinosaur was a creature of habit. The butterfly, now she’s a budding example of the quick-change master! Aspire to break free from routine and float beautifully through life! ⌘⌘⌘
