Flexibility

Staying  in a hotel, I had to use their iron and ironing board. It was situated to where I had to use my other hand to iron with. It fascinated me because I found it easy to switch, but realized soon after that I had to reorient my whole body/mind connection! I tried using the "usual" hand, but I couldn't do a good job and it was awkward.

Such is learning a new way of thinking. You may find that switching the way you think could be easy and much more convenient at first, but there is more to DO when you allow this. I know that I find fun in doing this, but I realized others may not be so excited about the thought.

If you know you are going to have to change the way you think, you can try something small. Something that you do the same way every single day with little variation-take that and do it differently. Consciously do it differently. Be gentle with yourself during this process. Take a breath, say it will be fine and that you are reprogramming your mind/body connection with this new way of doing things!

Then, after you experience this, try applying the same principles you just learned with the big stuff you're wanting to change. You'll know what you're in for-you'll know pitfalls you may have, but most of all, you'll be able to have more self confidence about your new way of thinking because you've had practice!

Get it? Got it? Good.   :-)
