Hi, I’m Pascale Gibon. Welcome to episode 257 of the Everyday Life Balance Show. Thank you for tuning in.
You might be at a turning point in your life and wondering what lies ahead for you. I know change can be scary.
However, when you examine your life experiences to date, you realise that change is a natural process. Events in your life build your character and strengthen you even though you might not see it that way sometimes. You might see it more like another unwanted challenge. You might not accept the gift it offers. And I think the greatest gift a challenge offers is growth.
I love to use the example of the bicycle. One day you could not ride a bicycle. A week later you do because you learnt. Your life was never the same; Riding a bicycle gave you a sense of freedom.
You might be struggling with experiencing positive change in your life, and the tools I am about to share with you will help you take a step forward if you feel stuck.
You are probably like a roller coaster with highs and lows on your journey to create change. You are on the right path however, if you experience some progress. My heartfelt encouragement is that you need to keep going.
Climbing Mount Everest did not happen in one day. Equally, if you feel you doubt yourself make a note of the progress you have made so far. Sometimes we believe we do not move forward because our desired change is not happening fast enough even though it is happening steadily and in perfect order. Keep the faith.
I shared Albert Einstein's quote in episode 256: "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
You are listening to this episode because you are willing and able to think differently and do things differently this time around to get your desired results.
If you have a goal but feel stuck and doubtful, I suggest you return to the starting point to keep your end in mind and remain consistent on your journey to success.
The hot topic right now is how to improve our finances. Therefore let us say that your goal for this quarter is to improve your finances.
My first question for reflection is: What is your real intention? The etymology of intention is purpose, design or aim. When you answer this question, you create a picture in your mind of what you desire. In other words, you create your vision for your financial future.
The second question is the following: what motivates you to improve your finances? Or what is your why? Why do you want to improve your finances?
Are you fed up with a lack of quality of life? Are you frustrated living paycheck to paycheck? Do you struggle with being free financially and providing for your family? When you answer this question and unveil your why you will move into action.
Once you have answered these two questions, remember to keep your vision and motivation or why visible to accomplish your desired goal.
Lastly, scientific research reveals that it takes 66 days to change old habits. Therefore pat yourself on the shoulder each time you accomplish something towards your goal. You might be taking small steps and not seeing much progress. However, trust that it will come together eventually as long as you stick to your vision and keep moving towards your goal. If you are only 30 days in the process and feel stuck, you know that 36 days remain to change your old habit.
I hope you enjoyed this episode. As always, remember now is your time to transform your life one step at a time.
Tony Robbins said that the quality of your questions determines the quality of your life. Quality questions create a quality life. Successful people ask better questions. As a result, they get better answers.
You said that you desire positive change in your life so take some time to answer these two questions:
What is your real intention to clarify your vision for your life? What is your motivation or why? I look
