“Always remember this: YOU are in the PROCESS of changing. You aren’t at the end yet. You’re not done. You will never be done. Life is a process. You are somewhere along the way. If you are working on yourself attempting to better yourself, most likely you’re in the Conscious Competence stage much of the time. This is the phase of mastery where you talk and walk yourself through it. It’s learning.

It’s the learning and practice phase. You are attempting to consciously manage all the components. You are learning to juggle but you’re not yet a competent juggler. You could become one if you don’t quit. SO always remember, you aren’t done yet. You’re on the way to making your new skills a habit but you aren’t there yet! So, relax in the process. Don’t fight it. Understand it and work with it.

You move through it much faster when you understand and cooperate or assist the process instead of resisting it. What does that mean? It means, be patient. Be diligent. Be committed. Remain positive. Expect the best. Adjust and continue. Correct and learn. Enjoy the process. Find it fun and it’ll go faster, and you’ll get better faster. Maintain a relaxed, positive optimistic mindset.

Attitude Determines What You Think, Feel, Say, Do And The Results You Can Get!

Remind yourself, you are IN the process! Just as when you cook a beautiful meal, you prepare it, season it, and cook it. It takes whatever time it takes. If you remove it from the oven early it won’t be the meal you anticipate. Give it the time it needs. As you develop the habits of success you gain momentum. Everything becomes easier and you handle difficulties better.

Mastery requires correct, consistent repetition for a long enough period for a habit to be born. You are creating new neural pathways and behaviors. New thoughts lead to new behaviors. This is an exciting time for you if you let it be. It can be a time of delight and wonderful enjoyment. You will learn and have many ‘ahas’ and insights that can thrill you and inspire you.

You can be motivated and excited to incorporate your learnings. When you recognize where you are in the process it becomes easier. It won’t magically make everything fantastic but when you understand a bit about what you’re going through and what you may expect to encounter it takes the edge off. Once the edge is off, you’re free to feel as incredible as you will choose to. It is up to you!

Attitude Determines What You Think, Feel, Say, Do And The Results You Can Get!

Here is an important point. Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly at first. The more you progress the easier it becomes. The easier it becomes the better you get. The better you get the easier it becomes. It’s a cybernetic loop. It feeds on itself if you continue. This recognition and understanding allows you to remember to put your attention in areas that matter.

Instead of going astray, wandering off, getting distracted or feeling dejected, your task is to remain focused and dedicated to the process and make it fun. You need to stay focused, so you don’t get distracted by circumstances, doubts, fear or worry. As a reminder I have discussed each of these issues in previous blogs. Go back and review. It will help a great deal.

Know this! YOU can be the success you want. You can have all the happiness, love, wealth, health, anything your heart desires, when you take 100% responsibility for learning how to make them happen and THEN applying what you learned! Knowledge is useless unless you apply it. Use what you’re learning to make yourself and your life what you want. Transform your mind and heart and you’ll transform your life. You deserve to enjoy every moment. So, go ahead and delight yourself. Celebrate yourself!” Rex Sikes
