Seven steps towards embracing change

Small changes in who we are can create greater changes in our capacity to imagine and engage with a richer life, so that the “change effect” works as a kind of feedback loop. Change brings about change.

Seven steps towards embracing change

1. Give your thoughts a voice

When we talk, we voice silent thoughts. Through responding to questions, we hear our own answers, which enables greater insight. As we explore words, we reform thoughts and make new sense.

2. Feel lighter

As we reveal, uncover and understand, we may feel less overwhelmed. When we feel lighter, we feel more able to move.

3. Acknowledge what you know

When we allow ourselves to acknowledge what we know, we feel a resonance, a rightness. When we have our compass, we can find direction.

4. Create space

An interruption to circular mental processes and patterns can create spaces in between. When there is space, there is less thought, and room for new perspectives and ways of being.

5. Notice your energy

When our internal world stops clouding us, our energy can feel brighter. Our body may feel more alive. When our energy is brighter, we see and feel more, and people may see us for who we are more clearly.

6. Stop resisting

When we hold on, we can’t let go. When we stop resisting, we feel more open and allow ourselves to experience more of what is currently available to us.

7. Take one small step

When we take one small step and create one action that reflects our intention, our sense of achievement rises. With an increase in self-confidence comes a greater sense of empowerment and recognition of our contribution within the world.

Through the process of acknowledgement, awareness and acceptance, we can find clarity, calm and control. We are then better able to connect to the natural change process that surrounds us.

This moves us towards actions that create the kind of life we want to live. We are not just who we think we are.
