If I am not sustaining a behavior that I in fact do want to sustain, I need to look differently and not say, well, what's wrong with me?
It is.
Where is the friction with the approach, right?
Because it might just be that it was too much.
I tried to make too big of a change too quickly.
It might have been I'm trying to make an unrealistic change.
It might be that I haven't found the reason yet to actually believe that this is possible for me, or at least to not believe that it's impossible.
Right?
If the actions that you take to create a change are not sustainable, then neither is the change.
I mean full stop.
Because if I can sustain the action, then I will create the change.
So whoever said change isn't easy?
Well, that's kind of an understatement.
Even change we want, and it's even harder to create the type of change that lasts, that sticks.
You muster up all your willpower and determination only to eventually fall back into old habits, old patterns.
And even if you made progress, it just doesn't last.
If you have experienced this, you're definitely not alone.
Sustainable transformation is one of the toughest things that we can do.
I have been there myself more times than I can count, caught in a kind of a frustrating cycle of trying and backsliding over and over again.
And ever wonder what's really getting in your way?
