Hi, dear Steemians!
Change is at the very start of every human progress in the history of our species. It is also the foundation of self-improvement, for as long as you want to achieve something that you do not already possess, you need change.
But we are always seemingly aggressive towards even the idea of change. Our comfort zones compel us to forsake change or even fight against it, be it a change in our daily routine or a change in the way we think.
Even when we are willing to change something, our subconsciousness always fights back and yearns for comfort.
How do we make a change in ourselves that is forever lasting and not frail?
Our mind would sooner see us fail at life than allow us to leave our comfort zones. That is why even if you have had enough of a miserable life and want true change, you cannot easily achieve it.
Your mind fights back to avoid the pain of change and see the pleasure of comfort and familiarity.
You decide to bring discipline into your life. You plan your every move and step, and you actually go through with it.
A couple of days pass and you begin to feel that you are slightly being pulled into the darkness that you just left. Another day or two passes before you fully succumb to that madness and go back to where you had been before.
Because when you bring instant change to your life and actually try to turn it into a reality, your mind doesn’t let go of the comfort zones that pull you back to your previous routine.
The important lesson that I want to teach you today is that if you want to bring an everlasting change to your life, you need to bring it slowly and treat it with delicacy and care.
Imagine that you want to get into a cold water and swim. There are two approaches on how you can do it.
You can either jump in the water instantly or you can slowly make your way into it. Some would say that it is much more painless and logical to instantly jump into the water. That is true, until the next day comes.
The next day, you are too afraid to get into the cold water altogether. Because even though you found the process much easier the other day, you cannot bring yourself to do it again because of the instant, immediate, and terrifying shock or pain that ensued after your decision to jump into the water. You cannot bring yourself to do it again
That is the same thing with change. Instant change is bound by frailty and will vanish after a couple of days or weeks.
If you want to truly change something about your life, you need to slowly bring that change into your routine.
For instance, if you want to read more in your daily hours, you don’t suddenly decide to open a book and read for 6 hours and continue to do so for the days to come. What you do is start out by reading 15 minutes.
Then day after day, you add 15 more minutes and arrive at the place you want to be.
After two months, you realize that you have made a habit out of reading and cannot bring your day to a close if you haven’t read for 4 hours.
That is how true and lasting change happens. With dedication, patience, and care. it doesn’t happen instantly or right now, but eventually it will and the change will always remain with you and become a part of your identity.
If you want to make an everlasting change to your life, decide to do it slowly.
A BIG HUG!
