Do Something Different

A lot of us are looking to make some positive changes in our life, but we have no idea where to begin. My suggestion is to do something different.

When you’re willing to do something different, you are telling yourself, your subconscious mind, and the entire Universe, “I’m asking for a change and I’m willing to DO something about it now.” The Universe responds to DOING since it actually means you’re starting to also BE something different.

You don’t even have to know what to do, at least not at the start. Doing ANYTHING different, that seems like it MIGHT head in the direction of what you are looking for, is a step in the right direction. You can make adjustments as you go. You can fine-tune the changes you are asking for later, once you get the hang of doing something different. The point is this:


 DO SOMETHING — ANYTHING — DIFFERENT

1. Write down the top three areas of your life that you feel need a bit of an overhaul.

2. On a scale of 1-10, how important is it TO YOU that this area change?
HINT: IF IT’S A 10, DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT TODAY

3.Now ask yourself this question: “What’s the easiest thing I could do different, starting now, that would allow this area to change?”

So, for example, let’s say you feel like you never have any time or space to yourself. Your batteries are getting run down and you don’t know what to do about it. If this sounds like you, one of the things that may come up when you ask that question is: “spend some time alone nurturing you.” And of course, your mind goes into all the reasons and justifications why it’s not possible.

“You’re too busy.”
“You have kids.”
“Your family, job, and social media obligations take up all of your time.”
“You’ll never get all your work done...”
And on and on and on and on....

That’s the way your mind works. It is always giving you the reasons why you can’t, not the way in which you can. So when you ask the question about what you can do different, give your mind a break. Let it know: “I’ve got this. Go take a break.” And let your childlike sense of wonder and possibility run the show for a few minutes.
