Right Here! Right Now!

So, have you ever asked your self the question  "how do People change?:  The Tim Farris Pod Cast is one of my go to pod cast that I listened to going to work each day.  He recently had a Navy SEAL take his place while he's been on vacation.  He was addressing topics like what brings on change? How to  be successful in creating positive change?  What he took away from his  training in buds was you change Right here!  You change Right now! 

You just do not sit around and wait for  change.  You  don't say I'll do that tomorrow.  The intention is always good.  But almost always lacks follow-through.  If preparatory efforts are not made with an organizational plan set in place, it almost always leads to disorganization, failure and resulting back into more comfortable bad habits.  It must occur instantly in the moment right here right now! Objectives must be clear, concise and must be achievable.

The next step is to get organized.  If you want to change that habit say  Exercising more regularly. You  must plan for that activity.  You design the workout plan for the next morning the night before. Write it down. Then you get organized by setting your  clothes out that you will work out in the night before.  Then go to bed early.  The design  is to make sure that all the pitfalls and distractions are taken away by the pre-workout planning and preparatory efforts the night before.  Once the efforts have been made, make the commitment to getting up when the alarm goes off. Snooze button is not an option.

It may look something like this:  You review the next days obligations and commitments.  You see it is a cardio and flexibility day.  You set out your cardio and Yoga work out clothes.  You pack you work bag.  Maybe even go as far as to put it in your car.  If you like coffee in the morning, get the pot all ready set the timer.  Get ready and get to bed early.  Alarm goes off at 4:30, you get up have you  coffee and get your workout done.  Shower shave pimp and primp  getting dressed  for the day.  You are now ahead of your competition!  They are not even up and at it yet!  Have a healthy breakfast.  Why would you eat something bad after working out so hard and making the effort to be ready to do so.  You set out feeling great endorphins flowing!  More focused! Less likely to fall pray to bad habits and distractions!

The key to going to bed early is being tired early.  I work hard all day long so that at  bedtime I am tired making going to bed early easier which leads to getting up early easier.  This leads into the habit of getting up early.

This works for all aspects of the life.  By breaking things down into simplified little pieces. Excellent planning to be highly efficient gives organizational control.  It sets  up success. By planning the day it makes it easy to live the day.  In SCUBA diving we say  plan your dive, dive your plan.  This is a really good metaphor how to live your life.  It leads to focus.  You have a plan.  You're able to move away from pitfalls staying on task.

The keys are  recognizing a need for positive change, planing/organization and  discipline leading to action!   Just say:  I change right here!  Right now!
