Time to rebuild

Well done…standing ovation here. Tis not an easy task to change a habit it takes patience and perserverance to succeed. I once did a study on patterning of change and habit reform and this is what I found out. The sceenario was simple to change the way clothes were pegged on the line. It was exciting to change the way they were pegged the first week. It took determination to continue the same way the second week. The third week I had to focus to continue. The fourth week the teeth were gritted as the task was done. It takes 30 days to change a habit was the hypothesis I was testing. I had completed the allocated days and succeeded but and here is the finale kicker…if you were not thinking aobut what you were doing and were in a hurry…you automatically pegged the original way. So I proved to myself that you still have to focus on what you are doing as it was so easy to let emotions get in the way of patterning. SO AGAIN I SAY YOU ARE TO BE COMMENDED: AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK YOU HAVE STARTED….

Dear Cynthia,
I applaud your courage at not only committing to making a change but staying focused. I know from my own experience (and those shared by people in my workshops) that it is so hard to stay on track–especially when, as you pointed out, the novelty wears off.
It is scary to go to a new place or embrace a new way of looking at life. It is hard to get off the merry-go-round of negative thoughts. It doesn't happen over night–but you are proof that it can happen!

Just been reading Marianne's book, and the two of you are definitely on the same page. I have a little more resistance to tear down, but I'll get there when I am suppose to. xo
