The courage to change

What are you waiting for?

By Verena Becker

Courage to think and be different, to take new paths and try them out. Leaving the comfort zone, learning and gaining experience that is courage. Courage that inspires and makes you happy.

This is how you can do it too!

The effectiveness of Ayurveda is influenced to a large extent by whether we have the willpower and courage to face all the challenges that Ayurvedic therapy entails. However, this is easier said than done.

We all have certain routines and habits. These give us stability and security, but sometimes they can also prevent us from going down unknown paths. We hold on to what is familiar, even if sometimes this is not good for us. The job we have been complaining about for months, the relationship we have not been happy in for a long time or our unhealthy eating habits. We know that we have to change something, and we want to – but somehow we just can't do it. Changes can intimidate us, especially, if at first, they look like worsening the situation. Change also costs a lot of energy. That is why in times of change we need strong inner and outer resources. Here is our advice for more courage to change!

5 tips, to dare something new

Set goals

Sounds obvious, but it is incredibly important that we know our concrete goals. Whether alone or in collaboration with your Ayurvedic therapist – make a list and write down your goals. You can use the following five W-questions: Who is involved? Which goals do I want to achieve? When do I want it to happen? What requirements or restrictions are there to consider? Why am I setting this goal? Always have your goals visible in front of you – for example on a magnetic board on the fridge.

Small steps in the right direction

Great changes often appear as insurmountable barriers. This can be intimidating and quickly overwhelm us. Small partial goals meet with much less resistance. They should not be too small either but appropriate, attractive and demanding without triggering a feeling of being overtaxed.

Happiness diary

Record all small and big moments of happiness and positive emotions in a diary. You can also imagine how it will feel when you have achieved your goals. The ability to feel happiness helps to face life's upheavals with more courage and helps us cope better with negative experiences so you always have it in black and white!
