ADJUSTMENT

“Remain flexible and teachable so that you can make necessary adjustments in life.” 

- Mz Liz

Adjustment - a correction or modification to reflect actual conditions

COMPOUNDING ACTION

Each action you take is having a cumulative affect on you whether you are aware of it or not. In time you will notice the results of your choices by the way you respond to your environment — people, events, circumstances. This is evidence to the work you have been doing, this is an adjustment within you that reflects your new current reality. Your transformation is taking place! At times it will seem to go at a glacial pace. It’s a very normal condition of our human nature to want results immediately. Have faith that it is happening in the perfect time. Keep showing up for yourself in all the ways that make sense for you to maintain impeccable self care. We are simple animals, us humans. Simple acts of self-care — adequate sleep and hydration, nourishing fuel (food), and your favorite physical activities that get the circulation pumping — go a long way towards keeping us in balance and moving towards a healthy state of self-love. We take care of those we love, that includes ourSELF.

Transition is unfamiliar and can be uncomfortable. I encourage you to practice deep patience with yourself. Give yourself time to rest, contemplate, and journal about your unique process. You are learning a new way. You are getting to know yourself. 

When you feel uncomfortable, go back to your mantra to remind your brain and your being…

I AM TRANSFORMING MY LOVE STORY!

A QUICK SHIFT

As you begin to shift the way that you think, see, and feel about yourself through these practices, I’ve laid out what I want you to take away as the mindset of adjustment. 

This is not a massive overhaul to be approached in a do-or-die, take-no-prisoners way. This is small shifts that add up over time. This is about getting comfortable with the practice of getting to know yourself and showing up for yourself. As you move through this change you may notice that the things that are working for you today aren’t as effective in a month, six months, or a year from now. That’s ok. You are a growing and changing individual. This is a life-long practice of knowing your—ever changing—self. This is not about beating yourself up for not ‘doing it right’ or ‘failing’. Consider that you may just be doing something that no longer works for you. That’s a hint to make an adjustment. 

AH, CHANGE, MY OLD FRIEND

They say that change is the only constant. Notice what works today and dive into them. And as you grow, it’s ok to adjust. Change it up, implement new techniques, adopt new healthy habits and mindsets. It is normal to experience doubt. It’s absolutely okay to feel scared. Who do you want to be in the face of it? Always offer yourself love and grace. It can be disorienting, lonely, scary, and exhausting to move through this world in ways that you were never taught as a child. It is not the easy way. It is the courageous way. 

WELL, WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT

With devotion to the action of practicing a different way adjustments will most certainly occur. One day you will moving right along in life in a seemingly business as usual type of way and suddenly notice something is different. It may be a huge thing or a smaller yet incredibly impactful thing that shows you that all the work you have been doing is paying off. Instead of flipping off the guy that has cut you off in traffic, you may smile and breathe. Until now you didn’t know you could do it another way. You will begin to experience yourself in a calmer, more grounded, more confident way. It may be subtle at times and astonishing at other times. It may be that another person in your life notices and comments on it.

Allow yourself to rejoice in the thanksgiving of the adjustments as you recognize them. They are miracles. You are shifting, changing, growing. They are coming.

Invite them,

expect them,

welcome them.
