If you’re reading this, chances are you’ve felt that tug in your gut — that whisper that says, “Hey, maybe I’m getting in my own way here.” First off, congratulations. You’ve already taken the first step toward change: identifying there’s a problem. And let’s be honest, that’s no small feat. Most people spend years convincing themselves that they’re just “fine” when really they’re one bad Monday away from a full-on existential crisis.
But not you. You’re ready for something better. So let’s talk about what it actually takes to shift your mindset and change your behavior without overcomplicating it or waiting until “next Monday” (you know, the famous Monday that never actually comes).
Step 1: Own It Like a Boss
Here’s the truth: nothing changes until you do. You have to take ownership of where you’re at. That means no more pointing fingers, blaming Mercury retrograde, or saying, “Well, this is just who I am.” Nope. You’re not a static personality type — you’re a dynamic, ever-evolving being. The moment you own your role in your results, you unlock your power to rewrite the story.
Think of it this way: if you’re the one holding the pen, you can stop writing tragedy and start drafting a blockbuster.
Step 2: Get Clear on What You Actually Want
Here’s where most people trip up. They know they want something different, but they can’t define what that “different” actually is. You can’t just say, “I want to feel better” and expect the universe to deliver a spa day for your soul.
Instead, ask yourself:
What do I want to feel, experience, or become when I release this problem or shift this mindset?
What would my life look like if I truly stepped into my best self?
Write it down. Paint the picture in your mind. Be specific. Do you want more peace? More energy? To finally stop binge-watching Netflix at 2 AM and get some real sleep? (It’s okay, we’ve all been there.)
Step 3: Choose Your Path of Change
This is where things get fun. You get to decide how you’re going to create this new version of yourself. Will you:
Learn a new skill?
Join a retreat or group that can keep you motivated and accountable?
Dive into Breathwork, meditation, visualization, goal setting, or all of the above?
There’s no wrong answer — just don’t get stuck in “paralysis by analysis.” The best path is the one you’re willing to commit to, even when it’s uncomfortable.
Step 4: Make a Plan (Yes, Like an Adult)
Dreams are cute, but plans get results. You need a weekly program that keeps you focused, tracks your progress, and reminds you that you’re not just spinning your wheels.
This doesn’t mean your plan has to be rigid or joyless. Think of it as your personal blueprint for success. Give yourself checkpoints to celebrate along the way. (And yes, ice cream counts as a checkpoint reward.)
Step 5: Find Your Accountability Partner
No, I don’t mean your best friend who always tells you what you want to hear. You need someone who will call you out, lift you up, and remind you why you started. Someone who can cheer for your wins and challenge your excuses.
If you can’t find that person, guess what? You can hire one (hello, coaches and mentors), or you can team up with someone who’s on a similar journey.
Step 6: Bring God Into the Process
This is the secret ingredient most people overlook. Whatever your spiritual background, there’s undeniable power in handing your plans over to God. Tell Him what you want. Ask for guidance, strength, and clarity. You’ll be amazed how the right people, opportunities, and breakthroughs start showing up when you partner with something greater than yourself.
