Exactly. Most of us are smart enough to know what we "should" be doing. It's getting through the old patterns and the comfort zone so that we actually do those things! That's why I usually encourage people to make one change at a time. More than that can be a bit - or a lot - overwhelming. Hi Zoe. Exactly.

That's the whole issue with self-help isn't it?!! We know what to do, but just don't do it. Fear, beliefs keep us locked in the status quo. The more we practice busting loose, the easier it gets to take action with confidence. So if it's one at a time, then so be it! Better something than nothing. Zoe Hi Ed
Great point! That’s the whole issue with self-help isn’t it?!! We know what to do, but just don’t do it. Fear, beliefs keep us locked in the status quo.

So if it’s one at a time, then so be it! Better something than nothing.

The problem, for some people, is that, even though they know these changes will have a positive impact on their life, it's still difficult to break out of that comfort zone. So that's why I find that, even with things we know will help, implementing one positive change at a time can be more effective. Great point Zoe!

Cool idea! It's a great way of developing faith and confidence - if you are not sure about a specific change, just try it and try it, and see the results. That way you can't blame 'fate', 'luck', or the dog for any of it. And here's another little thought too: if you KNOW a change is going to work for you, but have not implemented it yet (such as drinking more water, eating less chocolate, exercising a little more), then you can add a few of these little changes in one hit. Pretty soon, these little changes make a big difference - you lose 20kgs, you run three minutes faster etc. The key difference here is that you KNOW in your bones they are going to make a difference. Great post and great site! Hey Ed
