The Beatles sang about it in their 1967 release of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
How do you actually live life ‘getting better all the time’? I believe Louise Hay says it exquisitely and succinctly, “The only thing you ever have control of is your current thought.”
Your thoughts rule your behavior, literally mold and hold your body. As you believe, so you are.
How do you break free of a pattern that sets you on a mission of self-destruction?
Think differently.
Sounds simple – it is – but not inherently easy.
It takes a new mindset and practice. Patterns wear on you like grooves on a LP, that’s a long playing vinyl album (for the edification of you non-baby boomers).
By exploring and making adaptations in your behavior to heed what your inner voice expresses, you gain invaluable insight upon which you may choose to act. If you want to improve and ‘get better all the time’, it is your viewpoint, perspective and mental attitude that hold the power to change your reality.
For example:
You trip on an object in your way when you abruptly jump up to answer a call.
You can choose to blame the object; or even better, the person who left it there in the first place.
Or, you can pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and decide to be more aware of your surroundings.
This is, in my mind, the better, healthier option that leaves you in charge: the key to ‘getting better all the time’. Better is more connected and self -responsible.
The class I am teaching in September, Role Play for Change, gives you a specific strategy to shift your thinking so you can be ‘getting better all the time’, on purpose.
