I know this is a long, read for Facebook. Bear with me.
I was asked a few days ago , how to move forward in life, what do I do? . My mind went back to my old Program Manger days. P.D.C.A. (Plan, do, check and Act ) 😁
Before you start thi journey, here are the tools you will need.
1) A willingness to change. This is the most important. Are you willing to give up the know for the unknown? Are you sick and tired, of being sick and tired.
2) a willingness to explore the never regions of your soul. The place where no man dare to walk. Sounds over dramatic, put in truth it is real.
3) Someone to hold you accountable. God, is good place to start. But I suggest you add a human to your team. Someone who will put your feet to the fire
4) Are you willing, to change your environment, change your mind, heart. Change the people, places and things where you find comfort.
5) Are you willing to document everything. You must keep record. The good and the bad. Only you will see it so be truthful.
Take the time to identify the the issue. Be truthful to yourself. There is a reason you are in this place in your life. You wake up one day and you're an alcoholic shoppingholic,are just broke and broken. Under all of that, there is a reason. Pull that issue and exam it. This is not easy, nor is it quick. But effective. Now there maybe more than one, but at the core, belive me there is a main source. Only the facts, no justification, no condemnation, just the facts Jack.🙂.Now that the issue is found. I would suggest taking a trusted friend along on this quest. Someone that will hold you accountable.
Ask yourself " How do I make an effective movement. I drink, because----, or I can't make a decision because----., I eat too much because----..The answer to that question will surprise you, if you dig deeper, under the surface.
Plan - your plan must activate your ability to see the issue, with every action- there is an equal reaction. In other words. When I have the urge drink, will do this.... ( this sound simple, but it is not by no form or means). Your reaction to the urge must be as equally powerful. Note: once I have my change plan, I take it to God, he tends to be a very good fact checker😁. Than I I share it with my warrior friend. Oh yeah sometimes they can be brutal. But this is not a time for sweetness and light.
Do- Put the plan in motion. Give yourself a time limit. Usually our brains need 30days to change a habit. Set up check in time with your partner.
Check - after the 30days, review,. How did your plan work, be honest, truthful.
Act - installt this new learned behaviors, into you daily living.
Then you start all over again.
