Discover 6 Key Elements To Handle Change Through Life Transitions

Art of Life Coaching • March 3, 2024

Take control of your life and create it with purpose

Welcome to a world of constant change! Did you know that our bodies renew themselves every seven years, constantly adapting to new information? It's not just our bodies though, our brains are also always evolving and creating thoughts and beliefs based on our experiences.


It's incredible how we are always in motion, never standing still even when we're sleeping or focused on something else. Everything around us is constantly moving and nothing stays the same. Embrace the excitement of change and the endless possibilities it brings!

 

Mastering change and conquering challenges

 

It's up to you to decide how you want your life to be. Don't let outside forces dictate that for you. So, when people try to tell you what you should do or give advice, remember that they can only see a portion of your future. Take control and make your own decisions.


The power is in your hands. You can either let life happen to you passively, or you can grab hold of the wheel and chart the course of your own life!

 

Are you ready to make an impact? 


Ever feel stuck in a cycle of challenges? Don't worry, there's a way out! Life is all about overcoming obstacles, and I'll show you how to tackle them head-on. Achieving your goals might seem daunting, but with the right approach and a little room for action, change is easier than you think.


Say goodbye to the same old, and let's start making real progress towards your dreams.

 

Curious about the common change cycle? Let's dive in and explore it together!

 

The common change cycle looks like this: we want to make a difference, but get stuck repeating the same behaviors over and over again. This is because most people find it a difficult process - especially when they have well intentioned goals in mind that are not being achieved due to their inability or unwillingness (due lack of knowledge) on how exactly those changes can be brought about within oneself

 

Let me explain the 6 reasons why it is called change cycle

 

1) Discontent • You grow increasingly unhappy and discontent with an area of your life and you fear change.


2) Breaking Point • Eventually your level of discontent builds high enough that you cannot take it anymore.


3) Decision • You decide you’re ready to change and declare that you will no longer tolerate the undesirable situation.


4) Fear • Usually, shortly after your feelings of empowerment, you encounter your fear. You become uncomfortable you doubt your decision


5) Amnesia • The fear of change grows strong enough that it makes the original situation look much better than you originally thought.


6) Backtracking • Most people choose to go back to or stick with the item they wished to change. You essentially talk yourself out of your plans to change.

 

How to break through the cycle

 

As long as your fear of change takes over the feeling of commitment to make changes, this 6 reason-cycle will continue until 1 or 2 things things happen:


1) Extreme circumstances happen (outside world) • If you don't direct change yourself there will be other breaking points that are severe enough to push you through the change cycle. For many people, unfortunately, it takes an extreme circumstance to push them to evolve, such as financial loss, job loss, loss of a loved one, the ending of a relationship, an accident, or a burnout.


Somehow your 'Higher Self' 'knows' what you truly want and will lead you to it. If you resist change long enough, something will happen in your life that will put you in a position where you have no choice but to change.


2) Raise to your toplevel of Self-Honesty (inner world) • You realise that there’s a part of you that doesn’t really want to change. You are comfortable with your habits and what you know. You have a lot of fear that holds you back and keep listening to your own self-limiting beliefs.


You receive some sort of benefit from staying where you are. It even seems like you are unhappy because you want to be unhappy. You get addicted to the situation and even start to believe your pain is you; it’s your story. Only after reaching this level of self-honesty you can truly choose to change and let resistance go.


Are you ready to take responsibility for your life?


Can you see how this change cycle has impacted your life? Are you ready to stop it? Have you experienced resistance to change before? If so, you know that the more you move toward the ideal outcome of your change process, your fear and resistance will decrease. Are you ready to be honest to yourself, even if it is hard, because you are tired of being dissatisfied? Are you ready to take responsibility for your life and create the life of your dreams?
