Leo Babauta talks about the changes in our lives. How to make sure that they do not lead us to correct the course?
It often happens that in trying to change some of his habits, we quickly grow cold due to it does not depend on our circumstances.
Suppose you sit on a diet, but your daughter had baked cakes are excellent. Of course, you want to support it, and eat a couple. Do yourself a favor once you quit and started the same day, eat something else harmful, the same thing is repeated and the next day ...
Another example: you're trying to think of the good only. And here you are bending over backwards to be nice to someone from whom you are not happy, and he was rude to you. In such circumstances, how it is impossible to think positively.
So how do you stay on course?
Decision
We just need to expand the boundaries of not concluding the transformation within strict bounds.
The thing is that the process of change seems to us ideal. We believe that if we sat on a diet, then no deviation is not followed and we immediately become healthy and beautiful.
Of course, do not fill the cones will not work. And seeing that not everything runs smoothly, we get frustrated and lose our way.
But the problem is in fact not that some circumstance prevented to perform his plan, and that we too smooth itself all present. Keeping in mind the kind of unsustainable ideal.
So what to do?
Rather than sink into their own imagination, think about how things are going in my life actually. Be prepared for anything and are interested in new developments.
Someone tuned to you as you are to expect? That's okay, because you know that the reality is far from ideal, and instead of being upset, you focus on why it happened, and how to properly respond to this deviation from the course.
Letting go of the dream of the ideal, we can relax, smile and think, "So what? What is my reaction? ".
Pushing the boundaries, you help yourself to better understand everything that happens and deftly move, bypassing all of life's bumps.
