Lasting change comes from a process. And this process is all about creating a virtuous circle.
I know how important is our conditioning. So I’ve always put a lot of emphasis on the mental work in order to change. But I was making a mistake!
Now I can understand better what’s really of value in this process.
- Action is the reality. Change your actions and you change your reality.
Your reality has a lot to do with what is in your head. And action is the best way to change your reality. But in order to take action you must already have changed what is in your head.
- Prime yourself with choices and choosen focus. That will create the best conditions to take the best actions.
Priming oneself with mental work is an excellent way to create the best attitudes in order to create the best situations and actions. That’s extremely valuable!
But by itself, priming yourself is of no use if you don’t take the relevant actions that go with it.
One is going to increase and reinforce the other! And that’s where you create a virtuous circle.
But, and that was mainly my mistake, one without the other has no incident on your life. Because you won’t get the results you’re expecting. And that will even end up by creating the belief that you have no power on your life! Which is maybe worse than doing nothing!
On the other hand, each action in the direction you have clearly determined and focused on is going to give you more matter to see what you want. And then you’re going to be more determined and focused as you see some results. Even better, as you experience those results!
So prime yourself, and take action. Prime yourself better, take more action. Etc…
That’s the key to changing anything in your life!
But remember that valuable and lasting change is build little by little through this process. Rarely at once!
