Change is never easy. It can take time which requires patience. You need to be ready for something to change. The first step is self-awareness. Raise your awareness to what exactly you wish to change. Is it a bad habit? Has a behaviour pattern you developed become your default mode (now could be considered as a bad habit)? Observe yourself for a period of time to really get to know what exactly it is you want to change. This poem sums the process of change up beautifully: Chapter One I walk down the street There is a deep hole in the sidewalk I fall in I am lost …. am hopeless It is not my fault It takes forever to find a way out Chapter Two I walk down the same street There is a deep hole in the sidewalk I pretend I do not see it I fall in again I cannot believe I am in the same place But it is not my fault It still takes a long time to get out Chapter Three I walk down the same street There is a deep hole in the sidewalk I still see it there I still fall in….it is a habit My eyes are open I know where I am It is my fault I get out immediately Chapter Four I walk down the same street There is a deep hole in the sidewalk I walk around it. Chapter Five I walk down another street poem by Portia Nelson
