How to Massively Change in Only 5 Steps.  With it being the New Year, it’s a perfect time to evaluate how you’d like to step into 2024.

Take a deep breath.  I am going to lay it out directly AND with love.

1. Your dream is 100% your responsibility.

I know you are amazing.  I know you are incredible AND no one is going to do it for you, no one is going to come and rescue you or magically make it all work out.  You are responsible for you.  I know.  Sometimes we don’t want to.  But here’s the great news…

That means no one can keep you from it…but you.  What is your dream?

Money, fitness, intimacy, order, joy?

2. Your need to be the one to kick your own butt.

Truly.  It’s easy to be lazy, busy, make excuses.  I know!

I am currently 7 pounds heavier than where so feel when I am at my best.  And if I want to lose it, guess what?

I have got some kickin’ butt to do.  Where are you letting yourself slide?  What can you do to change that?

3. You don’t need permission, but to give yourself action.

The time is now.  What are you willing to do?  What will you commit to do for you?  The time is now.  Do it anyway. 

Let yourself start so that you CAN finish!  The quicker you start, the sooner you will

be done!  Hallelujah!

I applied for 20 TedX’s. Scratched my head.  Decided to try a different talk, and applied to 10 more and…presto.  Keep going, keep delivering, keep letting yourself reach your dreams!

4. Small changes make big reality shifts.

It’s the one degree example.  A little consistent change.

More water.

Another mile.

Investing $1 a day.

Cleaning one room a night.

Reading one page a day.

Saying I love you each day.

Offering a hug every morning.

There’s a little movement in every single one of these.

5. When you feel awkward, uncomfortable, unique, you are already growing.  Of course it feels odd, because it’s new.

So take a few minutes.

Where do you want to change?

What steps would it take?

What will you start doing right now?

If it’s health…maybe walk, water, weights

If it’s finances…save your coins.  They add up.

If it’s intimacy… hand, hope together, hear, hug, and hold.

What will you do to let yourself grow?  I’d love to encourage or support you in this.  Let me know if a session would help.

Dr. Heather Browne PsyD, LMFT helps people recognize the power of communication.  It is one of our most important skills that we have, and yet we don’t consider our understanding, approach, belief, and therefore, miss our possibilities.  Living with a paranoid schizophrenic mother gave Dr. Heather a unique and powerful awareness that no one has the same reality, though we believe we do.  Utilizing this revolutionary awareness has allowed her to transform communication within self and within all other types of relationship.  This is the hidden key to acceptance.  And this is her mission to share.
