Taking successful action to change our lives is not easy. Probably the most overlooked component of change involves taking time to lay a solid foundation. Think back to places where people most often want to change -- we want to stop smoking, stop drinking, stop eating so much junk food, lose weight, become less angry, stop being depressed or stressed, etc. Most often we try to go cold turkey without taking the baby steps necessary to make the change.
Anytime that we are in the process of training for something or attempting to make a lifestyle change – anything we’re trying to change … we need to have compassion for ourselves. Dr. Patrick Carnes, a leader in the world of working with addictions, believes it’s the most important part of our efforts to change. Because what Dr. Carnes knows is the same thing that many of you know … days that you don’t feel like training or you cant because of your schedule or you simply can’t muster up the motivation, you wont walk this out perfectly.
