Forget Goals
Most coaches that help you to make positive changes in your life, will start by asking you to create a list of all the changes you want to make and set goals to achieve what you want. When you see in front of you that big mountain to conquer, you can't help but feel powerless, not knowing where to start.
It's overwhelming, isn't it?
Think Habits
How about we setup a system. A journey. A way of life where the process is the goal.Instead of worrying about reaching a goal, why don't we just focus in the joy of slowly looking to the life around us as we walk on that path.
That's what creating new habits is all about. It's about creating a rhythm that allows us to enjoy the life around us as we focus on the things that are important to us and learn to let go of all the distractions that rob us of real joy, peace and contentment.
So, why don't we just relax, and think about focusing on just 3 things. At least for now. I find that when I simplify things I accomplish more. The idea of new habits is not to create high expectations, but a rhythm. High expectations will bring discouragement if the process seems to go slower than expected.
That's why I say "forget about goals". Create a rhythm. A process that will take you there. You'll see that as you walk on that path, you'll start to love the journey.
This is not only a book. It's a guide. I will walk with you step by step, bringing you daily words of encouragement and wisdom phrases for 21 days. The journey won't be perfect, we won't rush it. We'll stop to smell the flowers, and before you know it, we'll arrive at that beautiful destination. Happy, full of joy and ready to create the next adventure.
