We all want to incorporate new habits into our lives, but we think “it’s very difficult”!That’s why we often end up setting aside the new to get on with the ‘old’. Instead of continuing to try, we threw in the towel with astonishing ease We didn’t realize it was all too difficult until it became too easy.
Learning something new and integrating new habits in the day to day is very positive, however, while we are aware of it, it is difficult to get out of the routine and introduce changes, it is difficult to leave the comfort zone, which we have built over the years. But if we look back, we’ll see that nothing has been easy for us from the beginning. Everything, absolutely everything, took effort and difficulty to begin with.
- If we look at our first years of life.
- Do we realize that we have learned to walk.
- Talk.
- Add and subtract.
- Write.
- Imagine throwing in the towel right now?It was very difficult to learn all this: we fell.
- We were wrong.
- We struggled to internalize knowledge.
- But now everything is easy.
“Difficult is a word we usually stick to if we don’t do our best. “Anonymous?
At first many challenges seem complicated because we have to go through a learning process, a process that requires willpower, motivation, desire and the goals we want to achieve, let’s think about the moment we get our driver’s license, how difficult it was at first to learn so much at the same time!However, now we do almost everything without thinking, automatically.
Even if we’re wrong, we have to keep trying. We must not give up a project in half. Over time, we seem to have resisted learning processes, looked for the easy, what doesn’t require work, and what doesn’t bring about radical change in our lives, although we know it would benefit us.
We don’t realize that the difficulty is normal because of novelty, lack of knowledge and experience, however, we keep saying ‘I can’t do that’, ‘it’s too much for me’, ”s ‘it’s too difficult” ‘I can’t do it’ Do we learn to talk, write, direct?Why can’t we do that, what’s the difference?
The difference lies in the excuses we make so as not to introduce into our lives what would take us out in this automatic way that we sometimes live. An automatic mode that makes us live days “without grace”, without news, with the certainty of what we live. do because it’s always the same, without many challenges?
However, sometimes we have to go through a learning process, whether it’s taking out the driver’s license, doing a course that forces us to work or a master’s degree to specialize in a particular subject that will open more doors for us. difficulty, we were able to persevere and achieve this goal. Because we have managed to overcome this point where we set aside the difficulty and take control of the challenge we face.
If we abandon the learning process, the difficult will never be easy
Everything is very difficult if you say ‘I can’t?’ Yes? I won’t get it. In this way, we self-sabotage ourselves, perhaps as an excuse for not achieving what would make us so good, this happens when, for example, we try to quit a bad habit (quit smoking) or when we try to introduce something that would change our routine ( meditate every day).
You think you can’t do that when you don’t really do that. You’d have to assume that “it’s not that I can’t, it’s that I really don’t want to. “Because in our comfort zone we are very comfortable, without major worries, without greater efforts. Start meditating, go to the gym every day, try to quit smoking, enroll in a writing class. . . All of this would involve effort and a change in the daily routine.
Without realizing it we have abandoned many challenges that would bring us personal growth and improvements in our own health, we act as if we did not matter, as if we were staying in the background, making excuses not to do what would be so good. for ourselves. Introducing new habits requires work. However, the benefits they bring are enormous, although now everything seems very difficult, it usually becomes very easy over time.
