A difficult question. The answer always lies within. Sometimes, we're too afraid to acknowledge what we know to be the true path. Old patterns are hard to change ...

I had to change courses when I was laid off and moved to a place where my career is now a party trick. So.... what are my marketable skills here? Went from graphic designer/illustrator to home renovator. I wear my paint covered work clothes with pride. I am more successful here than before, even though those who look at me at the market can't see it. I am not here for them. Blue collar and proud.

Journals. Start tracking what you do. Then start to incorporate change. Track how the change affects you. Write your feelings down and how successful you think it is. Write everything. I started doing this to stop procrastinating. It's working. At first it was hard. During study sessions, I write the times down when I'm on Facebook, SMITH, or doing work. I write when I feel frustrated or when my concentration is low. It's helping.

Deep breaths.
Self help books;-)
Accept that your are going to feel uncomfortable for awhile.
Life habits can be hard to break and patterns of behavior tough to change...my own personal mantras when I don't I don't believe I can change or appreciate the positive changes I have made.

Four forward three back, pace yourself.
Four forward three back, building endurance.
Wrote these awhile ago (couldn't decide which version...so both).

Keep the parts that work and there is so much about you that works.

Much love and courage to you :-))
