Go Team 2025: Make It Easy

Hey Team,

As we all know, making change, planning change, adding things to your life or enhancing what is already going on can be very challenging.

So today, I am inviting you to explore ways to make the process of change a bit easier on yourself.

How can you make it easy to remember what you want to do?

How can you make it easy to plan your activities towards your goal?

How can you make it easy to get started at first and on a day-to-day basis?

How can you make it easy to adjust when you have to change your plans?

How can you make it easy to start again if you end up needing to take a break?

How can you make it easy to finish your exercise or meditation or wellness practice and then move on to the next event in your day?

Maybe you don’t need to answer all these questions at once but it’s worth considering which ones will be helpful to you.

Don’t worry about coming up with a perfect plan to make it easy, just the idea that it is OK (and strongly encouraged) to seek ease in this process will be helpful to you.

After all, the easier it is to remember what to do, to plan it, to get started, and to return to it as needed, then the easier the process will be overall.

Because change requires effort, because it can be very hard, it only makes sense to create ease whenever possible so you have more energy for the challenging parts.

If you can reduce the friction and the obstacles surrounding your plan then you’ll have more energy for the actions and activities that will bringing you closer to the life you want to create.

So, Team, I hope you’ll explore ways you can make the process of change easier and I hope you’ll be kind to yourself in the process.

Here’s your gold star for your efforts – both your efforts towards your goals AND your efforts to make it easy to do that work.

Go Team Us!
