If we humans don’t have a reason to do something different then we won’t. Motivation is really that simple. The tension that motivates us to move towards something else is always present, it’s simply part of our human tapestry as we are designed to create, evolve and grow. There are those who will resist that tension, and those who will observe it and respond to it in a opportunistic way. I see our personal growth and evolution like a ‘work out’. If we want our muscles to work more effectively and efficiently then we have to push past our perceived limits and feel inspired to do a little bit more than what we currently do. How we do it is up to us. Of course this does mean that there will be short term discomfort for a longer term gain. This is not only relevant for improving our physical health but for our mental and emotional health as well. The sooner we start accepting that our human condition is made up of our physical/mental and emotional health the quicker we can all move on to live the sorts of lives we want. Modern science is now measuring the body mind connection, and it’s not complicated. The work of global teachers such as Dr Joe Dispenza, Gregg Braden, and Dr Bruce Lipton tell us that we are largely products of our feelings and emotions and our response- ability to our environments. According to these experts genetics play a very small part in our wellbeing. There begs the question then why would we numb our emotions with drugs or alcohol unless of course our emotions are simply too unbearable. Yet, the catch 22 is to avoid the very motivators that we need to feel in order to create something new puts us immediately in a stale mate. Sure we all have self medicated with substances at some point in our lives to numb the painful feelings, but when we come to depend on those numbing agents because we can’t face our own reality then we will never feel the immense freedom and spirit that lies in waiting. Ancient cultures have known this for thousands of years. To numb our very reason for being human, i.e. our emotions, will surely reduce our chances of transformation. When did we start believing that our emotions are a hindrance rather than a compass? What say if they are simply signs and motivators to ‘move’. The response to our own observations about ourselves is key to the sort of life that we want. We can respond from a place of ‘whats already missing and wrong in our life’ or we can respond from a place of already ‘being’ what we think we are missing. Resolve to move forward and faith is key. If you are waiting for something to change before you embark on your own personal journey? Then you have missed the point of this column. Unless you do something different other than what you have done today, then tomorrow is going to feel the same. If you want support with your transformation, direction, or simply want a ‘check in’ then give me a call. Coaching doesn’t have to be a long winded process, it might be as simple as a couple of sessions to re-adjust or check that your own compass is on target.
