What makes it so difficult to make sustainable changes in your life?
How many times have you wanted to make a change in your life like lose some weight, eat more healthily, clear the clutter or create some space for yourself?  Every time you try to make a change and fall back into old habits you feel more disheartened and create a cycle of try and fail over and over again.
There is so much information out there to help you to achieve whatever your goal may be…then how could you possibly fail?  For me there are several questions that come:
Who is there to help you with any blockages that arise?
Who is there to listen to your voice and what matters for you?
Who trusts that you have your own inner wisdom?
How can an approach of it will work for all actually be true?
Who considers the emotional connections to what you want to change?
Think of the last time you attempted to make a change in your life and ask yourself the questions above.  I would be very curious to hear from anyone who would like to tell me a little about their experience with change. My email is conyard@ozemail.com.au.
Change will not be sustainable if all aspects of yourself are not considered.  For example if you want to lose weight and the only focus is on food, you may lose some weight and it is likely that it won’t last unless your mind and emotional state are considered.  The other consideration from an Ayurvedic point of view is your constitution.  All foods are not compatible for all people.  We are all individual and for change to occur that needs to be valued
To truly make long lasting changes there are four things you need to have success.
First is to gain the understanding of what feeds your heart.
Second is to learn the skills and knowledge that will improve your physical, mental and emotional health and wellbeing.
Third you need to be aware that you really want to put in the effort needed to make changes but something deep inside is keeping you stuck.
Lastly is to find or use your spiritual alignment because this will nourish you more than anything.  This doesn’t mean you have to have a certain religion or faith.  It means connecting with what it is for you that brings you joy and a sense of more than you.  It could be being in nature, it could be going to church or it could be the work that you do.  It is different for every individual.
Without this knowledge and awareness you will continue to do the same things and you will continue to get the same results.  By incorporating these four skills and actions you are giving yourself the space for change to occur and you are empowering yourself to take hold of the reins of your life.
