This is one way of looking at the steps of transformation - perhaps you see yourself as having moved through each step multiple times.
Particularly in stage 2, it can seem like things are too hard and that giving up would be easier... but if you stick with it, the rewards that come in stage 3 are incredible...
Stage One: This is the stage when you are inspired with a grand idea. You set an fitness, health, financial or relationship goal that propels you forward.
Stage Two: This is the stage of discomfort. Insecurity, self-doubt, fear, and trepidation take place when you move outside of your comfort zone. Your mind is signaling to your body that unfamiliar territory is on the horizon. This causes most people to shrink back to their normal mode of operation. Even if life is a living hell, familiarity is psychologically comforting. New learning, new people, and new skills, will help you graduate to stage three.
Stage Three: This is the victory stage! This is the place where you enjoy the new person you have become. Also, you can HELP OTHERS along the journey you have taken. Finally, this process never ends. When you have the victory over one goal, pursue another!
A client recently shared about her (and her husband's) new Namaste Ring:
"I was pleasantly surprised to receive my namaste rings today, only three days after my order! Today is our 20th anniversary and I searched and searched for something meaningful and special. After dozens of options that were never quite right I stumbled onto your web site. Your Namaste rings were the pertfect choice. The bands are beautiful and I'm delighted that Namaste is written in both sanskrit and english. My husband is very happy with the ring and it was a perfect gift to share with him. Thankyou for making our anniversay so special. Your work is beautiful. I will certainly recommend it to my yoga students and friends.
By the way, I appreciated the thank you note inside the box. I don't think anyone has ever done that before. You have offered a very personal touch that I find exceptional and rare. My husband called me today from work and again said how pleased he was. I am so delighted. I already passed the site to a yoga student this morning. I can't tell you how exciting it is to see artists making wearable art that has such meaning. My husband said he moved the ring to his right hand and suddenly as he looked at it he felt impowered, stronger. How wonderful! Thank you again for the lovely thoughts and the rings."
"Make lists of positive aspects. Make lists of things you love—and never complain about anything. And as you use those things that shine bright and make you feel good as your excuse to give your attention and be who-you-are, you will tune to who-you-are, and the whole world will begin to transform before your eyes. It is not your job to transform the world for others—but it is your job to transform it for you. A state of appreciation is pure Connection to Source where there is no perception of lack."
-Abraham
I wanted to share this quote as it has triggered for me additional change... it's not something new from Abraham, in fact it is shared over and over and over again - and yet, sometimes I hear it with 'new' ears. Apparently, right now, I am ready to embrace this in a way that I haven't succeeded in before, I have moved toward the more 'positive' end of things, and this makes sense. In the past, when I would read something like this quote, I understood it at an intellectual level, but couldn't quite understand how to embody it. Now, I feel like I'm getting it at a more 'soul level' - just goes to show you, the longer you stay with something the more it has the ability to adjust your relationship to the world. I am releasing old programming, old teaching and embracing this.
This quote is related - the other side of the coin...
"When you focus upon lack in an attitude of complaining, you establish a vibrational point of attraction that then gives you access only to more thoughts of complaint. Your deliberate effort to tell a new story will establish a new pattern of thought, providing you with a new point of attraction from your present, about your past, and into your future. The simple effort of looking for positive aspects will set a new vibrational tone that will begin the immediate attraction of thoughts, people, circumstances, and things that are pleasing to you."
This video will help you to focus on the abundance that is all around you. By focusing on the experience of abundance you will change your point of attraction and begin to allow in all of the things you are wanting - all of the abundance you desire. You can be, do or have anything you want.
