1 How to get Started

    If you want to be good at something then you have to work hard at developing the skill. It's going to take time and consistent effort in order for something that is relatively good to shift into the "extraordinary". We've heard this kind of philosophy before, but for some reason we still feel like we're in a constant state of feeling "stuck". However, it's not the shitty emotion that matters the most, it's the actions that you take and the mindsets that you adapt along the way. We love to sit there and mull over all the things we need to get done instead of just doing them. We let our brain's negativity bias constantly influence our emotional state and we forget that we're in control. What is true in these situations is that we love to perpetuate these cycles of nothingness because "change" would imply leaving our comfort zones. What is "real" is that most of the time we fail but it's not in life. We fail at realizing that we have control to make a slight shift that with time could make a significant impact in our lives. We fail to believe that all we have come to know isn't the only way and that we have the capacity to create another path. 

    By definition, a shift is a slight change in position, direction or tendency and this is where we can learn to live, grow and eventually thrive. Happiness is not some secret that's deeply hidden in the outside world. It's here, it's you, and the only thing keeping you from tapping into your potential is your ability to accept that you have a responsibility with your higher self. In other words, you need to decide to show up in ways that you never have before. Okay, I get it, easier said than done, but that's why we're here. When we shift slowly at the "micro" level it's so subtle that our subconscious has time to process and we can minimize the adjustment shock. Thus, if you're struggling with the "how" or the "why" just start by the "doing". There's value in those small little intricate moments where we begin to discover that breaking patterns that no longer serve us doesn't have to be as complicated as solving a difficult math problem. If it weren't for the problems then we wouldn't be able to redirect our energy towards things that we value most. It goes without saying that our process is always more important than reaching the end goal. All those little tiny bits we intentionally decide to change will add up to another version of our life and that cycle of nothingness we used to dread will have served us with a greater purpose.
