Tips for Change

Increase Your Self Awareness

• Noticing the world around you.
• Noticing your habits.
• Noticing your beliefs.
• Noticing what your body tells you.
• Not "trying", rather allowing yourself to notice.

Habits

What do you notice about your habits? How do you typically respond to feelings? How do you typically respond to people in various situations?

Notice your behaviors - pay attention to learn who you are. Do you respond in certain ways to certain situations? Is it time to change your habits because they are based on beliefs that no longer apply?

What are the "can'ts" in your life? Have you distinguished between the ones that are true and the ones that are not? For example: "You can't fly." Is true. However "You can't change." Is not true.

Books Supporting Change

Taming Your Gremlin: A Guide to Enjoying Yourself by Richard D. Carson clearly illustrates the concept that by "simply noticing" your Gremlin (the narrator in your head) you will become more aware of your choices and options and begin to enjoy yourself more. "Simply noticing has nothing to do with analyzing, understanding, predicting the future, or undoing the past. Simply noticing involves only simply noticing." Paying attention or noticing and differentiating yourself from your Gremlin are key.

**This list generated from Taming Your Gremlin is explained in more detail in the book.
