Why Do You Want to Improve? - What is Pushing You to Want to Change?

Have you ever asked yourself WHY you want to change or improve? Do you know if it's for the right reasons or is it for selfish reasons? Are you doing it to impress others or truly benefit yourself? I have some tips on how to lean more into being more authentic when it comes to making changes in your life.

Show Notes:
I think I reinvented myself like 5 times in my life, so far.  I think I am about to hit my 6th major change in life & it feels better than all those other changes. The shift I am going through right now feels like I am finally stepping into the true me.

If you haven’t experienced that yet, I PROMISE you it’s coming. I don’t know when & don’t really have any signs I can give you that you’ll know it’s coming, except that it will feel SO FREEING.

I know I have been talking about natural shifts that happen in our lives that cause us to become different people based on the experience we are going through, but we also become different people when we want to change. And that’s the one I am going through right now.

I wanted this change, I wanted to let go of what was holding me back from being my true self. And I had hoped that this change would come sooner than it did, but it didn’t because initially, I was going about it for all the wrong reasons.

I wanted to impress people, I wanted other people to envy me, I wanted respect & others to look up to me. All these really selfish things. Looking back on it, I was really looking for validation in all the wrong places. It wasn’t until I realized I had to validate myself & do things because I truly wanted to do them & not for any gain from others that I was able to find my way on the path of becoming freely me. There were still bumps in the road, of course, but it got easier the more I let go of how I looked to others. 

I still struggle with it. I’m sure I will always struggle with it a little bit because it’s so ingrained in me, but I know how to shift my mindset now so I don’t get stuck. I think that’s one of the best things to understand when we are making efforts to become our true, authentic selves & our best selves. We need to remember that just because we do all this work doesn’t mean we are going to be magically healed. We will still struggle here & there. But because we have done all this work, we will no longer get stuck in those mindsets. 

I’m sure you’re asking what tips I can give you that relate to any of this. And 2 tips I can give you on shifting into the person you’re truly meant to be is patience & perseverance. 

But today I actually wanted to share with you 5 things you should actually focus on when you want to change for the better:

1. See Yourself as a Work in Progress 
2. Identify the Resistance in Your Life 
3. Identify What You Want to Change & the Associated Habits
4. Find a Way to Reflect Back to Observe Your Progress
5. Take Action to Build Courage
