It’s important to get down to our fundamental beliefs about change if we want to see results.  Have you noticed that some people seem to thrive on change while others resist with all their might?  

What is your definition of change?  What do you really believe about change?  What’s your gut reaction to change?  What do you like about change?  What do you not like about change?

We are all constantly changing.   Growth and development is proportionate and intertwined with change.  We change we grow.  We grow we change.

I am a seeker of truth.  I use a combination of spirituality, science, intuition and experience to inform my evolution, growth and heart path.  I have found the importance of being informed and educated on a particular topic of interest based upon science and other people’s experience.  It then gives me a spring board to launch my own experiment or process of learning what is best for me.  However, the most significant and crucial aspect of learning occurs when I have direct experience which validates and informs my intuition and inner knowing.  I invite you to share your own experience of how you consciously change.  Below is one method and process to consciously choose change.  What is your method?

The following are 10 steps to change your life consciously:  

Find Your Center - Find a quiet place to tap into your heart, gut or inner self that holds your highest potential.  Focus on your breathing.  Feel grounded and supported by this place.

Inquire – What do you love?  What are you curious about?  What are you interested in learning?    What do you want to change in your life?  What do you know is in your best interest to change?  What do you not know?  What do you know currently that will help your process in making the changes you want to make? 

Listen - Ask the above questions again and don’t try to have an answer.  Be with the question and let it go out and listen what comes back.  Listen       Listen        Listen

Be -  How do you need to “be” in order to have and maintain the essence of that which you prefer?  Where are you already being and/or doing the essence that you prefer?  

Inform – What thoughts do you need to think in order to support your process?  What do you need to know in order to take first steps?  What do you need to learn? 

Investigate -  Where can you find the information that will support what you want to do?    Who do you know that is already doing what you want to do?  Who already supports you?  Who else could you champion?

Experience – Visualize how it feels to be the essence of what you want?  How does this affect you?  How does this affect your thinking?  What will you do specifically?  How will you know you have done it?  When will you do it?  

Obstacles – What might get in the way of you being able to incorporate what you prefer in your life?  Would it fall into the category of skill, will or focus?

Strategies -  What can you plan to do in order to counter the obstacles?  What needs to happen first to ensure success?

Follow Up - How will you hold yourself accountable?  When will you check back to this process to find out how you did and what you want to do next?  Do you need a reminder?  Is there someone you will follow up with?

Life is a creative process.  Change is too! Change and life are dynamically related.  Of course as a “life” coach, supporting people through change is a key element that naturally occurs.  It’s so intricately related that one may call me a “change” coach, primarily because coaches help people transition and change things in their lives. 

It’s been my experience both personally and with my clients that if we initiate change in our lives and continue to develop ourselves along our heart path there is less change that sneaks up on us in a chaotic or surprising manner.

Giving voice to how we are making a change is very empowering.  I would like to invite you to share where in your life are you making changes?  Allow me and the other Heart Path Community members to share and hold space for these changes.

What are the areas  you are consciously choosing to change in your life?  Where are you choosing to embrace the changes occurring and co-create your life?

I look forward to hearing from you!  Let this be a forum of support for you to share which will also provide inspiration to others!
