Movement is an interesting word.
Since 2005 my own personal mission has been to extend to others the developmental tools to seek the truth of their self, and then for them to have the courage to think and act in alignment with that truth.
This is an ever-unfolding path. And in that movement, sometimes old patterns resurface to take over.
In my experience, many people go along with the energy they’ve always had because it feels ‘normal’ for them, even though that particular energy causes stress, conflict and keeps them from true happiness.
Remember there’s a difference between normal and natural.
Essentially, your personal development means looking at your life and recognizing patterns that cause you stress.
Maybe it’s that constant self-doubt, or that overanxious mind, or that constant negative self-talk or even needing that sweet treat after every meal. Your patterns are unique to you.
Whatever the patterns, and how that energy is made to flow, it can be transformed. A change of habit pattern, and thus energy flow, starts with recognizing them for what they are: “ways of doing things based on habits, beliefs and identity.” Then you can make a conscious choice to create new patterns, new beliefs, a new identity and therefore a new reality for yourself.
Transforming patterns can happen by combining new or different perspectives from ideas coming from the past and future. It could happen from ideas coming from different cultures that you combine for use in the development of innovative ideas for yourself.
James Altucher, a founder and cofounder of over 20 companies, an American author, podcaster, and investment entrepreneur, suggests that to change patterns in your life you must start with connecting to the idea’s you have within yourself. You want to start by writing down ten random ideas a day. You will use those ideas to be exercises to build your idea muscle, that muscle will give you ways to incorporate within your daily routines, so that over time it will pay off with significant change within your life.
What I found interesting were the three heading types for lists that Altucher suggested for you to use to get your ideas flowing:
1. Combine two IDEAS on SEX to come up with a better idea.
2. OLD TO NEW: Write out ten old ideas that you can make new.
3. RIDICULOUS: Write out 10 ridiculous things you would invent.
The practice of these lists will connect you in a fun way with concepts about yourself of which you may not have been aware.
The practice of these lists can give indications to new patterns of thought and action which you can take to bring success into your life, and maybe a chance for you to fall in love with exploring your truth.
· Be willing to get vulnerable and uncomfortable.
· Seek your fullest expression.
· Seek the truth of who you really are.
When you have a chance, drop me a line and let me know how its going.
