Implement

Now that you are empowering your goals with affirmations and upwards momentum, we implement!

What does it mean to implement?

It means that we put a (decision, plan, idea etc.) into effect through consistency and effort. Consistency is a repetition of a task through perpetual action. So what would this look like?

Say your goal was to learn to play guitar. What would be the steps here? First you created the goal, learning to play a guitar. Then you empowered this goal with positive momentum, I can learn to play guitar. I will practice consistently. Then, is the implementing process. You sit down with YouTube videos, sheet music, tabs, all sorts of music literature and you start to study the process. With your guitar in hand you learn hand exercises, and chords. Applying your hands to the strings over and over, you create muscle memory. You hit wrong chords and notes, because mistakes teach you what is right and what isn’t. Then over months of this consistency you learn to play your favorite song, then more. This is the implementing process of creating a habit.

Implementing requires failure and patience. If you are afraid to fail or be bad at something then you will never get to the next step, and that is to become. Again fear can halt the process here, so I say fail anyways, make mistakes, practice. This may even be a love/hate relationship. Because of how bad at it, or the learning curve you may get frustrated beyond anything, but remind yourself of the end result.

As with anything without action then there is no process. You can create and envision all day, but without taking the necessary steps to get to that finish line you don’t even begin to run the race. Life is all about action. Sitting still, being stagnant, those things create depression and anxiety. Movement is everything, and if you aren’t willing to exert the energy then you will continue into a cycle of pain. Pain creates lack of movement, it is what stops you from getting up and setting to your goals. Pain is what is created in the body when we begin to move forward, why? Because we are changing the way we go, we have taken a new route and your body reminds you of the comfort of being stagnant. Pain shows up when you are facing your demons.

Then why does it go away when I am sitting still?

Because you have allowed those demons to win, you have given your negative emotions exactly what they wanted. To halt forward momentum. By sitting with all the things that come up during this implement process, you will see true change.

I have watched people as they workout reach a moment, this moment I want to call “the fight.” This fight is the moment they start to decide if they want it. That moment you feel their energy change and the story, the demons they face come out. This fight is when you chose yourself, and your worth. By choosing yourself and finding your worth you get further ahead. You succeed! That is what success is, failing forward. Past the stories that hold you back, past those lies that hold you down. Success is the rise, and choosing to love yourself even harder. When I get to see those moments in people it brings me pure joy. It’s a pivotal moment, and I love watching people chose themselves instead of giving up on their dreams. That is the most beautiful thing I get to see. Choosing yourself is an amazing success, and to be able to watch it, well that is just unbelievably amazing.

Next time you are in this stage I want you to watch what comes up for you. I want you to feel the pain in your body. That pain is trying to tell you to stop. That pain is trying to hold you back. I’m not talking about the aches and pains you feel when it comes to bones and muscles and ligaments. I am talking about underneath this, listen to it. There is a mind body connection, and emotions play such a huge role in our lives. They are energy and get trapped in the body. For example, i always hold stress in my neck and traps. Why is that? What is going on emotionally in your life, or what reminds you of an old cycle that you feel the pain there. Think of these pains as something emotional, because in a huge way they are. Get real with yourself, we are all emotional creatures whether you believe it or not. To have emotions is what makes us human. If you didn’t you would be a robot. So start to dig underneath everything, as you implement. Because that is when you pull out greatness.

To understand and accept your own demons is to gain control of yourself.

Are you ready to dare to habit?
