Personal Change

• Achieving personal change

Most of us at some point in our life will decide that there is something about ourselves that we are not completely happy with and that we want to change. It could perhaps be something about our lifestyle, our personal habits, our communication style or a new quality that we seek to cultivate within ourselves.

We may make a decision that we want to change, but quite often actually achieving success in making the change can prove to be elusive. Breaking habits that may have been with us for years is certainly not easy.

How many times for example, have you made a New Year's resolution to change something in yourself - maybe to be more assertive, or more patient, or more courageous. And at the time of making the decision, you were full of resolve and determination - and yet, within a couple of  weeks you were back to your old ways and eventually, gave up making the change because it all seemed just to hard?
