Do you long for a change in your life? Why doesn’t someone take action to change something in their life, knowing full well that the time has come when change is necessary? What is the problem with you not taking action? Something has to change quickly in your life, otherwise it will be to your detriment. Why can’t you change, even though you want to change?
Lack of self confidence
One of the biggest stumbling blocks is the lack of self-confidence. You know that something has to change in your life, because it really has to. A necessary change, but you lack self-confidence. A characteristic of a lack of self-confidence is: You have the feeling that you cannot change anything (despite wanting to!). Perhaps you have been mocked and put down so many times in your life that any form of self-confidence has disappeared. One solution is to build your self-confidence by allowing small successes into your life, step by step,
Pessi misme
Another major stumbling block in the life of someone who wants to change but cannot, is pessimism. Do you suffer a lot from pessimism? Characteristics of pessimism are: You think that everything will go wrong, because you think that everything will go wrong, you therefore take no action. The solution is to break the pattern of these negative thoughts. A first and important step is awareness. Become aware of your own negative thoughts!
Fatalism
Yet another major stumbling block that prevents someone from changing is fatalism. What is a characteristic of fatalism? Fatalism is when you resign yourself to your rotten life. You have a shitty life, you probably deserved it and that’s the way it is. The solution to break these feelings is to realize that no one deserves to have a shitty life! Then you must realize that you are capable of change!
Age
Another stumbling block why someone does not change is the hindrance of age. You feel too old, or too young, to change. Everyone can change, regardless of age! Where there is a will there is a way! Realize that people of all ages have much richer lives after making a change in their lives!
Prepare yourself
If you want to change something in your life, but you cannot (yet), you can prepare yourself for a possible future change in your life.
- What do you need to change? (Money? Knowledge through studies? Living space? Work?) Prepare yourself to get the money, this knowledge, a place to live or a job! Don’t sit still, but start exploring!
- Do you take enough care of yourself? Do you live a healthy life and exercise enough? Make yourself strong and powerful in preparation for any change!
- Do you receive sufficient support from others? Do you have too little contact with others? Support during any changes will be very nice! Start visiting family. Start with a hobby, course or, if necessary, volunteer work where you can make friends. Connect with old friends.
Action
Nothing will change in your life if you don’t take action. Very small steps together can mean a huge step forward. The road to change can be long, but it always starts with the first step. Let this first step be preparing yourself for change.
