The Butterfly Effect can Change Your Life
I know many of you have heard of the Butterfly Effect. Most of the time the butterfly effect signals doom and gloom; in real life, it can change your life and outlook on it. How? Because all you have to do in make one small change, as Tony Robbins suggest. That starts the Butterfly Effect.
Have you ever noticed when you try to change something; by use of deprivation or the all or nothing philosophy to complete a task, it creates burn out?
Make a list of the times you have done this in you life? Losing weight, Exercising, Studying, Completing a project, etc. Did you accomplish your goal? …Part of your Goal? …None of your goal? Why? It’s OK. This help you lean from your mistakes.
Now look at the times in you life you’ve just change one thing. Went back to school part time? Added an extra 10 or 25 dollars to your credit card payment? Stopped drinking soda, alcohol, etc. and started drinking more water? What happened? Did you reach you goal or were you able to change your behavior? The point, if you have a goal, just change one behavior or action that will move you toward reaching your goal. See what happens?
Now look at you goal?
Decide what action you can do today to reach your goal. Make sure its something you can do consistently and easily. The American Academy of Family Physicians states it will take 21 days to make new behavior a habit. Flylady uses this methodology to help you conquer clutter. Ehow discusses using the 21 day approach to develop a new personal practice.
Look back on your goal? How close are you to achieving it? What are the by products of taking a small step toward change? Manageable actions! Life Change!! Success!!!
