What does big change look like as it’s in process? Especially with things that are stuck, hidden, or deeply patterned? How do we know change is actually happening?
Sometimes change shows up in a linear or simple way: there, it happened, suddenly it’s different, exactly the way I wanted. Sometimes change happens that way.
But if we look back at our lives for the changes that really mattered, most of us will find that change doesn’t usually work that way. I find change that matters is…
- organic
- insinuated into the folds and turns of our lives
- sneaky
- beautiful in its inevitability
- but hard to predict.
But if it’s like that, how do we take some charge and bring it about the way we most long for? Is it always out of our hands?
We are about two thirds of the way through my summer program “Turn Authentic Happiness Into Authentic Joy.” It’s a program designed to help participants take charge of something that can’t exactly be manhandled into simple cooperation. Nonetheless, they are having deep, lasting change:
- “I note the beginnings of the awareness of comfort that is found just in myself.”
- “I am now feeling to give myself a break and feel okay with myself.”
I look forward to seeing how their change unfolds in the remaining portion of their program. And I look forward to learning new ways to facilitate similar magnificent changes for the new participants of our fall program. Tune in for details!
For now, have a blessed summer of sneaky, inevitable change.
