Transformation – Making Positive Shifts in Your Life

Transformation, change and shifting one’s beliefs, one’s energy and one’s life are common goals these days. Many are seeking to be a more enlightened, confident, joyful and balanced version of themselves.

When we think of transforming, we usually are referring to radical change, dramatic change, not just something slight. So by focusing on this concept, does that mean we are not good enough the way we are?

Of course, it’s important to accept our genuine selves, the way we truly are — both good and bad, both conflicted and peaceful, both egotistic and altruistic. Because everybody is multi-faceted and quite complex. But I’ve yet to meet a person who will proclaim, “Oh, yes, I’m truly perfect, there’s not a thing about myself that I wish to change.”

Perhaps, in a spiritual way, we are all perfect in the eyes of the Divine, and though we can sometimes truly embrace that, here in the physical plane, we always seem to have something about ourselves that we would like to improve. Sometimes we perceive just a little change — and other times the change we seek is monumental.

So keep in mind the following thoughts:

1) Change is a PROCESS. When one is seeking to truly leave behind negative thinking and difficult life patterns to adapt more positive, joyful ones, it is so essential to accept the knowing that making shifts is a journey, not an instantaneous, miraculous happening. But depending upon the person, the motivation and focus, rapid changes are possible.

2) Always maintain a sense of love and acceptance of yourself. Be kind to yourself and have patience. But also, hold on to that knowing that you CAN change in wonderful ways.

3) Be steadfast and determined — stick to your resolve regarding personal goals. Not everyone will be supportive of your changes. Sometimes those close to you will be confused or challenged by some of the changes in your own path — or possibly just not quite understanding. Keep the lines of communication open.

4) Be aware of the paths of change. Recognize that change must first arise solely from within you, born of the yearnings of your authentic heart. These desires can become amplified from reading, personal research, and social interaction in real life and on the internet.

5) Find a champion/mentor to support your goals, if that feels right to you. This can be a teacher, coach, counselor, family member or friend.

6) Transformation never reaches a stage of completion. You’re never done. You are always growing, changing, and evolving. It is key to just enjoy the exhilaration of the journey!
