Self Development Stop-i-tis

I have to share a little secret with you...you see this I started writing this article at about 7 pm tonight and now it'salmost midnight! I start the article with the full intention of finishing it, yet find ways to distract myself throughout the evening.

So this will be my topic for the day...

Have you ever wondered why you buy a self development product or a download, with the full intention of achieving the results you have always dreamed of. You bought that book or started a new diet / exercise program, only to find that somewhere at the midpoint you shift gears and even stop. LET'S LOOK AT THIS AND UNDERSTAND WHY ITS VITATLY IMPORTANT TO PRESS THROUGH!

You see its so easy to start something! In fact, we are so good at starting that many people often live lives of unfinished and unattained goals.

I have shared about this topic on my you-tube posts, you see I own thousands of dollars worth of books , ebooks , downloads etc. I have attended scores of seminars. I AM YOUR CLASSIC STARTER. ARE YOU?

At some point a year ago I came to the realization that I needED to stop the self help overload and understand that I am not broken. I really needed to do was to finishes things.

WHAT I AM ABOUT TO SHARE WITH YOU WILL BLOW YOU AWAY!

the flesh is weak...it likes new stimulus and we are wired to seek out the new
it is easy to start something or many things. Image how many things you have started in your life and never finished. Image how many times you have done this over and over again
the subconscious is fed a constant stream of new and uncompleted items that have never been given closure...its all swimming around in the deep recesses of your mind

SO THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS

You start something and then your subconscious stops you some where along the way by distracting you with something newer, better and bigger. At first it is faint, it is there but then your free will kicks in and you continue on.

A few days or week pass. Again that slight pressure starts to make you uncomfortable and the first message your brain sends a message that perhaps we can set this aside for a while and then get back to it. So you leave it for a while and then you notice that the pressure to do it has gone away and it feels good.

This plays itself out over and over on many levels and before you know it you stop.

BUT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOUR SELF WORTH AND SELF ESTEEM REQUIRE THAT YOU PRESS THROUGH

LET ME EXPLAIN:

Since the beginning of time we were designed with the need to do the right thing and achieve more, but we find it easier to do the things that are wrong for us. This need to do the right thing is always in the background and plays a foundational role in our success.

I want you to think a moment about how much change you have had in the last year in your life, was there a lot or a little. I bet that your are in the same place your were last year and perhaps some of you have lived unchanged for years. All because you start and stop. In some cases you don't even start.

AND THIS IS WHERE THINGS GET REALLY INTERESTING! YOU SEE:

Everytime you don't complete something you are telling you subconscious that its ok to not accomplish your goal and so the next time your soft wiring will provide you with the same results.

after years of doing this it doesn't even put up a fight and gives in so fast that it makes you wonder what happened.

So to change you will need to do the hardest thing you have ever done in your life. YOU NEED TO FINISH WHAT YOU START.

Simply put...finish that book or like me write that article
