Is Change Really Possible?

I hope you had a wonderful weekend!

So, a new client asks me if change is really possible.

Well, change is not only possible, it's inevitable. The world is changing every day. And so are our bodies whether we want them to or not.

I think what she really means is change really possible for her because she's scared of not being able to put forth the effort change requires.

Instead, of letting the thought of the word 'change' terrify you, why not focus on micro changes?

How about exercising for an extra 2 minutes? How about exercising for a total of 2 minutes?

How about waiting 5 minutes before you give in to dessert?

How about cooking one extra meal per week?

How about eating dessert only once a day?

How about waking up 10 minutes early.

How about making your lunch?

How about drinking a glass of water with each meal?

How about emailing me every time you have a relentless craving?

How about starting your meal with either salad or veggies?

How about for just one meal per day, you make your usual meal last more than 20 minutes?

All of these are simple things that can and will lead to your success.

And best of all, change begets change.

The only way to get to where you want to be is to change. You can't just go from the person you are now, to the person you want to be without changing anything.

And when you're feeling overwhelmed, think micro.

What micro changes can you make today? Tomorrow? This week?
