Live Fit

When we want to change something, it can be hard. We’ve been in our current mode for so long that to entertain something new is a lot of work.

Today the power went out at our house unexpectedly. My husband is trying to leave for work, frazzled, and I was thinking about how we get used to our routines: get up, get dressed (in light), make coffee, heat coffee up, heat water up, make toast…all of which require electricity. When that goes away, we sometime are left flailing.

I relate this to habit change. When we are trying to change a habit it can be hard because we have to undo what we’ve been doing for a long time. This is why many of us give up-it’s tough in our busy day-to-day lives. But it can be done.

Bringing awareness to the difficulty is one of the first steps. What do you want to change? Change is good-sometimes difficult. But on the other side of your hard work? Success.

If you need help and accountability, ask your inner circle, ask a coach.

Change can be hard. But it also can be an amazing learning experience. You can do this.
