We are all stuck in prisons of our own making. From difficult relationships to financial struggles, to the mundane habits that create frustrating blocks, every energetic pattern is connected. And once we discover this natural law, we can disconnect those unhealthy patterns that are keeping us unconsciously circling through life. And this discovery leads to change.

You do not have to struggle to change the big things in your life. Stay in your dysfunctional relationship. Go work at the job where you’re unhappy. Remain overweight. Don’t try to change these things. You won’t have to. They will change by themselves.

The trick is to make small changes everyday…simple movements, decisions, alterations that will crack the back of the big beasts that are weighing you down. By sneaking up on your big bad patterns, by nibbling away, life will shift, you will shift, and everything will transform effortlessly and permanently.

Your benign small patterns and habits are the scaffolding holding up the bigger patterns and addictions. By changing the small things you do every day you create cracks in the bones of the big beasts. So that eventually, as the scaffolding collapses, the big beasts no longer have support and they begin to wither and die. All you will have to do is be willing to let go.

I do not ask you to climb a mountain. I ask that you just take a different path around that mountain and notice what you find there. Try exercises in joy. At first they will feel unusual, uncomfortable, unnatural. How much joy have you experienced in life? Your old patterns will question why something so simple feels so strange. Part of you will not want to make even the smallest change. But your mind will know that is a foolish thought. And your body will have the courage to take those small steps.

As someone who is also walking that path, I am here to guide you through these initial steps. To encourage even the smallest change. To show what you are capable of. To begin, think about your life, your disappointments, and of the decisions you made that no longer serve you. When was the last time you stepped beyond your previous conditionings? Regardless of what you want to believe, your life is the result of the choices you’ve made…and those you were unwilling to make.

So, you need to learn to make new choices. And hopefully to see how much power you have everyday to change anything you want in your life. You have the power to change everything you want in your life. YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE EVERYTHING YOU WANT IN YOUR LIFE. But it does not come from anyone or anywhere else. It comes from you, right now, if you are ready to begin.

To start, you must know that you are loved exactly the way you are. There is no other way you have to be unless the need to change is coming from deep within yourself. Let no one else own that power over you. You are perfect. You simply want to evolve. And that what is what I am here to help you do.

The first thing to ask yourself is why do you want to change. Not what…why? Are you unhappy? Scared? Sick? Do you not like the way you look? Or is it about how much money you have? Is it because your children did not turn out the way you had hoped? Is your marriage suffering? Ask yourself questions so that you can understand why you want to change. It’s important that you want change for the right reasons. For your own growth and happiness. Not for someone else and not to feed a selfish ego or societal quest. I want to first bring you back to your true self. Let you spend time with who you were before others changed you….before you allowed others to influence who you were always meant to be. Until you rediscover your essential self, you cannot change into anything else that will sustain itself.

If you’re ready, you’ve reached a certain level of pain, which is causing you to take action…to move towards change…however hesitantly. I feel compelled, because of my own life experience, and what I witness around me, to begin this process and see where it leads. I encourage you to share your experiences. I especially ask that you keep a journal of all you do during this time. What are the small changes you make, how do you feel, where did you find your hidden habits, and what new shifts do you experience.

I also ask that you disconnect from the outcome of change. For now, release of old patterns is all you should seek, knowing that what is best for you will be the highest expression of that release. Soon, you will fill what has been released with something brighter.

So are you ready to remember who you are and micro-shift into a new life?
