Mindful Bingo Square 3
Waiting to feel ready before making changes
Most people think readiness comes first. They wait and wait until they 'feel' certainty or that the time is right.
In reality the timing is rarely perfect and the feeling of certainty rarely comes first. That's because our minds base our perceptions on past experience and what we believe about things. If that is not in alignment with achievement and success then it will give us a warning in whatever way it does for us!
To make changes what usually comes first is a small shift in how your mind feels.
Only then does “ready” show up.
A useful place to start is this:
notice where you’re waiting for certainty before allowing yourself to act.
Ask what it is that has you think you should wait. Are those thoughts grounded in fact or fear.
Are you making small changes which help you step towards those changes or assuming you need to make huge changes in order to be successful.
There is no right answer here, it is about understanding how your mind is working and making changes when it is not supporting your success.
Hypnosis works by reducing that internal resistance, so change doesn’t feel like a leap.
It feels like a next step.
If this square fits, try dropping the idea of ready.
Start with supporting your thoughts and ideas instead.
