What Is Required To Change? The Power of Homeostasis #10

Why is creating change within our lives so difficult? 

For many of us, we get stuck in the thinking phase of creating change. We have this internal battle in our minds about what we think is required to make changes. We think about what types of actions would get us to our goals and how we might instill this actions into our lives.

It seems many people get stuck in this aspect of the change cycle, never really taking any meaningful action out of fear of failure, lack of motivation, or maybe just pure dislike of the process of change.

Understanding that Homeostasis is a powerful driver for keeping us the way we are. In essence, homeostasis is the bodies regulatory process to maintain its current status and avoid changes within our system. It keeps us the way we are and prevents us from changing. This is a big part of why making changes is so challenging. 

If you want to make changes to your body, mind, and life the undeniable reality is ACTION is required. Physical action and decisions are the vehicle for making changes to your body and life. 

In some cases, many people feel if they're not taking perfect action its not worth pursuing. But, imperfect action will always win over no action at all. 

In order to grow and change you have to fail and learn from your mistakes. This is the process. Every failure is a chance to make adjustments to your actions so you can do better the next time.

Be kind to yourself.

Give yourself space to a make mistakes. 

Be grateful of the opportunities you have.

Be grateful for what you have.

Stop overthinking.

Take imperfect action.
