Baby Steps

Baby Steps

That is what change is all about. Just taking baby steps towards the attainment of your goals.  It is a series of small consistent events, and not one gigantic leap that makes change permanent. 

     I used to jump into things and try to do things the cold turkey way.  I have found that only leads to reverting back to the old patterns because it was easy and comfortable.  It was real easy to go back and forget my progress because I did not associate good things to the cold turkey method.  I dove back into food and brought the comfort back into my life.

I feel so trapped physically, mentally, and financially.  I have uncovered some resources to help me in those areas that I want to improve. They will help me finally escape the trap and set myself free.  I feel so helpless and barely scraping by. 

• I have decided to take emotional abuse over breaking free and possibly being homeless. I don't want to take the step to change because of the fear of the unknown and lack of a support system. I am scared to fail and never be able to recover.

• I am sick of being one paycheck away from disaster.

• I have managed to gain 13 lbs over the last 4 months

These three things are the major foundation that will lead me to the path that I have not been on for a long long time.

Will I be happier?

The answer is yes!!  I will feel very much happier if I can fix those things and pursue happiness and peace of mind.

The baby steps that I am taking are not going to be quickly completed in 6, 12 , or 18 weeks.  This pattern has been going on for quite some time now.  I have a lot of negative patterns that need to be overcome.

Jim Rohn said it best, " You can't change your destination overnight, but what you can change is your direction."

I am giving myself 52 weeks, that's right 1 year starting 9-1-11.

New goals are coming in the next post.
