Ever heard the saying, If you want something different, you must do differently? ....Is this one of those sayings that is easier said than done? Maybe so, but lets dive deeper....(much deeper)... There are 6 stages of transformation that we must go through to fully change who we are and the lives we lead. Stage 1 - Acknowledgement and Awareness. The first stage of creating lasting transformation is for us to experience a genuine shift in awareness and understanding - in terms of how and why we ended up in the place we did. “We don’t see things as they are, we see things as we are.” Stage 2 - Different Thinking. When we have a genuine shift in awareness, consciousness and accountability we see the world and everything in it – including us - differently. We think, process, filter information and react differently. More positively. We become more solution-focused as opposed to problem-obsessed. A shift in thinking means a shift in reality because our thinking is our reality. Stage 3 - Different Decisions. When our thinking changes, so does the types of decisions we make. We think differently so we choose different. Because our mindset is more solution-focused we make much better, less emotional, more productive decisions with far less stress and drama. The better the decisions we make, the better the results we produce. Stage 4 - Different Behaviors. When we choose different we do different. When we choose better, we do better. We embrace more positive, productive and solution-focused behaviors because we’re now thinking, choosing, coping, processing and reacting differently. Our behaviours change because we’ve changed. What was hard is now easy. Stage 5 - Different Results. The moment we start to see, think and do different, is the moment we start to produce different results. The day you choose to change the way you interact (talk, listen, react) with your kids, wife, brother, mother, neighbour, dog, is the day you consciously change the dynamics of that relationship and also the day you start to produce different results. Different thinking, different approach, different result. Stage 6 - Different Reality. Stage 6 is the destination, the place where our internal shift has been matched by our true reality. The changed quality of you relationships, finances, career, physical health… and so on, is now real through and through. At this stage, its important that we allow ourselves to acknowledge, enjoy and truly appreciate all that we’ve created. No anxiety, no arrogance; just humble gratitude and appreciation for where we are and what we’ve achieved. You’re worth it and you deserve it. **If you are looking to create real change in your life today, take control, print this post, stick above your computer and consciously go through each stage, until you reach stage 6 - the destination. You’re worth it and you deserve it.
