Today I am sharing another video about change (of course!) about how often we find it hard to go through transformation because we have no idea who we are going to be on the other side…..’better the devil you know’ and all that.
I know how hard and uncomfortable it feels to firstly find out what parts of ourselves are holding us back and I know how much it sucks to try and let go of that part of self.
Because often what it is we need to let go of is not something physical; it is a redundant habit, it is a way of being that no longer serves us…BUT who will you (I) be if that is no longer part of who you are?!
When it quit smoking, I picked a day I was going to stop…and I stopped. It was New Year’s Day 2014, and I remember feeling so sad that morning because I knew I was not going back on that promise to myself and I also knew that I couldn’t be the same person either.
I struggled through each day for the first, long while. Each day promising myself that I would not smoke that day, I took it one day at a time. I had to restructure the social part of me…being left at the table while others went to smoke was not fun. Drinking coffee with a cigarette was weird for a very long time…but I kept going. It’s been more than 5 years now, and it is no longer part of who I am. I am no longer that person.
But I have found giving up parts of myself that I no longer want to be much harder. There is really no external thing that you can stop taking, no social scene that you can’t be a part of anymore…..there is just me and my inner self (you and your inner self).
Courage is needed to loosen the grip of old ways of being and determination and serious self-compassion is needed to do this over and over and over and over
