Easy Change Strategies Two

So you came and looked again? Have you changed yet in the direction you wanted?
Whether you wanted or not - you HAVE changed (you're a week older, if nothing else).
Lost some hair? Gained some weight?
Millions of cells in your body have been replaced!
And all that without us noticing it.
Change can surprise you. Ever met an old classmate and thought boy did (s)he age!
Guess who else? Duh!
What I'm saying is.....change does not have to be difficult or requires always a great deal of effort. It can happen fast, even instantaneous,
So let's go for some more "Easy Change Strategies":
A Buddhist monk once introduced me to a very interesting way to change my perspective: A walking meditation. Preferably walk barefoot. Concentrate on the feet touching the ground. Feel it! Experience the walk as it is created by your muscles and bones moving your body one step at a time. Walk slowly. Try to notice all the little movements in your feet, your legs and the rest of the body.
I noticed that when I move slowly I have a hard time not to wobble! Interesting.
Of course this turned out to be an exercise in awareness training. Oh yeah, and then you notice that you are much more connected to your environment. So that changed.
And just when you had experienced that change the monk suggested to walk slowly
BACKWARDS. Wow what a difference that made.

You probably ask yourself, what the .....does that have to do with me wanting to change my job, or relationship or personal circumstance? Well, surprise yourself and try this exercise. You will find that your perspective changes. And if nothing else, you then have another point of view as perspective for the situation you want to change.
Another solution might suggest itself almost without trying, change happens!

Look forward to more "Easy Change Strategies" and Achieve Your Goals!
