The Personal Development Word That Drives Me Crazy

I don't know about you, but the word “transformation” makes me think of Cinderella's fairy godmother waving her magic wand and turning her from a maid into a glamorous woman dressed for a ball.

It does NOT make me think of changing myself or my life.

It's too DRAMATIC. Cue the drum roll. The movie scene where someone walks in and all heads turn to see the new them. They look like a totally different person AND miraculously, they've completely evolved and changed internally as well!

It's all just a bag of bullshit.

Change doesn't happen fast. It's slow. Sometimes painstakingly so.

That's why it's so damn hard.

Change requires you to trust that if you keep going, if you keep showing up for yourself over and over again, things will start to shift.

A lot of people stop.

But those that commit to the sometimes tedious process of shifting daily habits - both internally and externally - reap the rewards of a life that is

anything but tedious.

Slow down. Rest. But don't stop.
