Starting a New.

Change is something that is complicated but so rewarding. I think I have learned a few to many life lessons in the last 7 months and change and patience tend to be in the middle of it. Change is hard. Trust me I know. But what I think is interesting is that most people do not know where to start. Oddly enough its something that is not that hard. Observing it. Thats all it takes. The hard part I think people have is seeing what the problem is. But as I have been changing for the better, I have noticed that by following these three simple steps has made the process go a lot smoother.

The three steps:
1. Observing the Problem.
2. Decided if you are going to take action or not.
3. Take action on your choice and follow through.

Sounds simple. But I know its not. Habits are hard to break. Oddly enough it takes 21 days to break a habit and to create a new one. Not that long if you think about it, there are 365 days in a year and to change something in 21 days is short. I know some habits take longer than 21 days and I know some can be shorter but as we go onto a new year. Think about what you personally can do to change for the better.

One thing I am currently working on is not being so harsh on myself. I expect a lot out of myself and when I don't have patience on myself then I often run into a problem. Being so harsh on myself that it gets in the way. I am grateful I had three great people in my life tell me all at the same to give myself a break. Being aware of this has helped me a lot and I have noticed that I am improving. This change has been hard but its been for my benefit. I know there are things in my life that I cannot change or improve upon in one night and sometimes that drives me nuts. But I figured out that not enjoying the personal growth and the journey wouldn't be fun if we had everything change overnight. I realized that I was not doing that. So my goal is to have more fun and take things one day at a time and not worry about others.

I hope everyone is having a good holiday and hope as you get ready for the new year that you can figure out what you personally can improve on.
