Wanting Change that lasts!

We live in a world where we can achieve so much at the touch of a button.  Over 8 million people are now working from home, or anywhere - mainly working from their computers.

We can book holidays, visit places, order any array of products without leaving our homes or the beach.  We can create art and design  entirely digitally.  Now we can even create products through 3d and 4d printing.  We are moving to an age where so much can be achieved with barely touching anything except for our computers or our mobile phones.

These are mammoth changes.  Yet the human mind and psychological needs are no different to 1000's of years ago.  Our technology has changed, we humans have not.  When so much can be achieved with seemingly little effort - it is not surprising that we struggle establishing the change in our own thinking and behaviours that we need to do, to be as effective as we want and need to be.

In contrast to the wild promises that change in old patterns can be created in a moment.   Lasting change really does re-quire constant vigilence and effort.  You see our human minds are rather like computers.  Our early childhood experiences do create a default setting, which we are attracted back to at all times, particularly at times of crisis.  So for the individuals whose default settings were set in ways that were not supportive to healthy behaviour and thinking - they have to be more conscious and work harder (initially) to adopt new patterns of behaviour that they need, to be as effective, happy and healthy as they most certainly can be.

The good thing is that you can make that difference and you can shift from feeling drastic to fantastic.  Making change that lasts, requires you to see and know how you can and want to be, and to commit to taking daily action.

In the early stages support really is required, but as you get used to always moving forward and having great compassion for your every bit of learning you will be amazed at how much you can achieve and how wonderful your life will be.  Change is not complicated, very often the differences you need to make in how you think and what you do are very simple. However, sometimes you can be too close to what you do, to be able to see where and what you can change - and that's where support can help you to make much more effective change, more easily. The good thing is that once you get your ball of change rolling it does get easier and easier to make that difference in your life!

Change your thinking .. change your world! Putting that spring back into your life!

Will this winter ever end?   Spring is definitely lurking in the wings.  Although the tree blossoms are waiting for warmer days, the daffodils are determined and their buds are getting bigger and bigger, as are the buds of my wallflowers, the bluebells and forget-me-nots are most certainly awaiting more conducive conditions.  However, I am so happy that my crocuses show their true colours with free abandon.  They are very beautiful and appear bigger and bolder for the lack of competitors around them.  

Is it coincidence or is there a parallel between this long winter, and the ongoing miserable economic conditions in the UK, and the state of individuals sense of fun and wellbeing - or the lack of it?

What ever the relationship, it is a fact that more people are experiencing stress, anxiety and depression at this time in the UK.  

So here comes the exciting part - unlike our climate, or the economic conditions over which we have no control - there is one part of our lives that we do have total control over when we learn how to - our thinking and emotions. 

Also, what is very exciting is that it can be very easy - almost as though someone has lifted the curtain, and let in the light.

So regardless of whether you periodically or more regularly experience stress, depression, anxiety or a need for greater happiness in your life - you can turn this around by becoming aware of the patterns you run and by learning new resourceful patterns and practising them until they become your new default settings.
