One of the biggest myths out there is that people can’t change. Um, the reality: they totally can. Most people just choose not to. But that doesn’t mean you have to follow suit. I’m a firm believer that anyone can improve their situation, mentally and physically, it’s all about how much you want it.
To make it happen, you need four things: a vision, a plan, discipline (and rest). The vision is where you get to dream big. Think vision boards, words that light you up, all the juicy goals you want to smash. Then, you map out the plan, get specific, because the more detailed, the better. Next up is discipline. Commit to doing the work.
Finally, and this one’s crucial, rest. Yes, rest. Hustling endlessly is overrated and toxic. You can’t pour from an empty cup, so make sure you’re recharging too. Without rest? The whole thing falls apart.
So here’s the deal: start today. Dream it, plan it, do it, and don’t buy into any of that “people can’t change” nonsense.
A week ago, I made a conscious decision to start doing things differently. Why? Because I was stuck in a relationship with a guy who never really chose me, and when it ended, it affected me subconsciously for 3 years, it hit hard. (Yes, I’m being dramatic, but if you’ve been in love, you know it hurts.) For a long time, I couldn’t get past it. I kept replaying the past in my head, romanticizing what was. But then one day, I got over it. The sad girl routine? It wasn’t serving me anymore, so I decided to change.
I started choosing myself. I got into better habits (I’m a proud green juice girl), daily gratitude journaling (writing 3 things I’m grateful for every morning and night), reading a few pages before bed, focusing on positive things that actually matter. I won’t lie, there are still days when I feel down, but I feel so much better knowing I’m not stuck anymore. I’m pushing forward, and that’s all that matters. So if you’re feeling stuck right now…push forward, because the Sun will shine again.
