Time sure flies, doesn't it? I promised myself to blog diligently. And what happens.... Twitter!
If you want to know where I was, look for "NYdigger" at Twitter. It is such an interesting tool. I am still learning. Just like blogging, it is still a "new thing" for me. But what has to happen before it becomes a habit? Continued action over time.
So here we are again at  Easy Change Strategies.
On the weekend I did something new. 
Have you? Remember, I said it would be easier to change, if you continue to try something new. 
I went to a workshop on "NLP and Health" it was given by Kevin Creedon and my "old" friend/trainer Doug O'Brien. For details check out their web-sites:

These are two trainers who have a huge amount of experience and have worked with many colleagues in the field of NLP, Ericksonian Hypnosis and other methods. 

So how does that help you change easily? Well, sometimes it just takes a little nudge and one hears of a new method (we did in this course) and "voila" there is a change taking place.

So in addition to reading and searching the internet there is, of course, always the good old "attend a class" to learn something new - and change is happening.

One more aspect for you today:

How do you know whether you have changed?

Think about it. What would it be like, look like, feel like? Give it some thought and write down what your changed situation would be - be specific! If you would rather paint a picture or use another method of making the outcome of your change measurable for yourself, that would be o.k. too! I have a treasure map (see posting #1) which I look at and see "I'm not where I want to be" YET! But then, I don't have to achieve everything in one day or one week or even one year.
We set the time frame ourselves and we can adjust it too. Wow, what a concept (for all you Type A guys). However, if you don't set a time frame at all, you might not get anywhere anytime soon.
Think Yogi Berra (posting #!)
So, establish your wanted outcome. Determine when you would like to achieve it and then start with little steps towards your goal. 
Speaking of goal setting - next time I'll talk about "Strategies for Success". How to create your dreams and achieve them. Remember: "I'll be back!"
