Hitting The Crossroads In Life: Making The Transition

Life’s journey has its ups and downs. Transformation to become the person who lives with authenticity can stop you in your tracks. But can you move on unscathed? Absolutely not. In order to make the changes necessary for life transformation, you need to have a different mindset from where you were when you made the decisions in your life to get you to where you are today. Becoming the “real” you and not living under someone elses’ perception takes work and you might even lose them as a “friend”. Some people just cannot handle you own uniqueness. Staying true to you is the key and your genuine supporters will help you grow and flourish into the beautiful person that you are.
There may be times during this change that you may revert back to your old ways of thinking but that’s alright. Recognize it for what it is and change your thoughts to match what it is you really want. Don’t beat yourself up. There is only one of you in the world, and don’t you want to be the best “you” that there is? What is it that is holding you back? You will really recognize this crossroad from where you were to the real you when you notice how truly happy and grateful you are in your life.
While doing “self” work rehashes some old issues that were buried, this guides you to make the proper, necessary changes to live your life with passion and purpose. Your old way of thinking does not serve you if you wish to change things in your life, so why use that type of thinking? Learning to adapt and re-adjust your previous beliefs and habits, sets you up on the path to living the life you desire. There are a couple of things you can do today to help you during this transitioning time.
The first thing I would recommend is powerful positive affirmations. Affirmations are saying that you repeat to yourself throughout the day to help keep you on track with your positive thinking. It’s not just about saying the words you wish to have happen, you need to put emotion behind it. If that affirmation that you are saying to yourself does not seem real or believable to you, you need to word it to make it believable and true. You may do this by adding “I am in the process of….” before the affirmation. We have so many negative thoughts throughout the day that we do need a “reminder” of the positive things that are happening in our lives. It is easy to forget what they may be. Negativity is so easy to get sucked into but we now need to break that habit. Affirmations are at terrific start to help you do that.
Another great tool to use is a little detail which makes a huge difference, called Gratitude. When you are going through tough times and hard, long days, it is very difficult to see what there is to be grateful for. We quickly lose sight of what is good in our life and put all the focus on the bad. Now, I am not saying to be in denial and push away all the “stuff” that gets you down, but if we take some time during the day, or every night before bed, to write down all of the things that happened throughout the day the you are grateful for, you will soon start to see and learn to recognize the good in our lives, whether it is big or small. Even in the darkest of times there are still things to be grateful for. If you are breathing- there is something for you to be grateful for! All the little “things” add up to joy, happiness and fulfillment.
Life change and transformation takes some effort and dedication but don’t you think your life is worth it? You are definitely worth it! Life keeps changing and so do we. Learning how to adapt to these changes and to accept them is the key. Transitions happen when we notice that “life” is not the same as it used to be. You should not be the same person at 40 as you were at 20. You have had twenty years to grow and learn.
Life happens and so does this shift within yourself~whether you want it to happen or not. Are you going to fight it or go with the flow? The answer is within your heart and soul. Listen to YOU and life doesn’t have to be so hard and complicated. Having the tools and dedication will help guide you to a life you deserve!

Authentic Transformation~ Are You Ready For It?
June 16, 2010 by Tania Boutin
Filed under •-Feature, Personal Growth
Sounds pretty scary, don’t you think? Authentic Transformation? How many of you really know yourself and are ready to transform into that person who you are meant to be on this earth? Taking the steps necessary to live a full, authentic life is not an easy task but it sure is well worth it in the end. Do you want to be on your deathbed and not know who you really are? That you were just a clone of someone else’s beliefs and perceptions? Authenticity is a word that is individual, just as we are. We are all unique, have different personalities and all have distinctive needs, wants and values that help define who we are and who we want to become.
The process of “finding yourself” takes a lot of work, but nobody said it would be easy. Becoming the ‘real’ you and not being afraid of what others will think can scare some people away as it is sometimes easier to go with the flow of life and fit in the mold. But we are each here with a exclusive purpose. Do you know what yours is?
Take the time today to sit down and actually listen to your gut instinct and emotions. They help you start to think about you. Me, you say, why would I do that? You are the only person that will take care of you. If you don’t who will? YOU are the one that needs your full attention, love and pure happiness. Life gets so busy that we put it behind us to get to it “someday”. We are never guaranteed the next day. Living for today is all we have and finding our life and soul purpose is our mission. To find out who we are authentically without all the excess “stuff” from life and others’ perceptions/beliefs is one mission we need to accomplish. Becoming authentic doesn’t mean that just you state your “opinion” to others to prove you are authentic, it is a way of living. Not just having to be right.
We only get one chance~that’s right~ one chance to get to know the real you and to make it right.
So, what’s stopping you?
Yours in Transformation:)

THE POWER OF CHANGE
May 20, 2010 by Tania Boutin

Who am I? Is the question that comes to mind as I sit here. What purpose does this transformation serve? What is the benefit? Well, I can tell you that who I am now is not who I was 3 years ago or even last year. Along with the world changing, so am I. Looking deep within me has prompted a lot of change in and around me and is becoming more and more apparent. The life that I used to lead was not bad, just empty. There was no purpose, besides the normal things of being a wonderful wife and loving mother. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love and adore those jobs, but what was it that I wanted to do, what was my destiny? How can I serve and help people enrich their lives? And in turn, that is what would provide the enrichment that I needed on this earth.
Change is not bad or optional, it just is. Staying stagnant will not provide the growth internally and externally. As the saying goes, you should not go by the same philosophies at 40 as you did at 20. There is so much more to life than that. On this self-development path, there have been ups and downs as new thought patterns emerged and different perspectives and outlooks showed themselves. I can attain that not everyone will understand what is going on. Conquering change and letting it flow into your life has such a positive impact. Getting past the “old” story and letting go of what is not aligning with my purpose and passion, changing my mindset to grab a hold of all the knowledge available to increase my self-worth, competency and to know that I am deserving of a full life, is a process, but it was and is one that inspires and contributes to letting old habits, beliefs and patterns that serve no more purpose to fall away.
When I ponder the questions that I asked at the beginning, as to who am I?…the answer to that is a person of growth and change. A person who accepts life and all its excitement and challenges.
What is the purpose and benefit of this transformation? More than you can imagine… Having a life of purpose, being able to grow and change and feel true inspiration, happiness and passion. That is what makes this journey worthwhile.
Change is not something to be feared. It is a beautiful experience and it will happen. Scary at times, but with being able to push past that fear that everything must remain the same, and to set out on a journey of your own self discovery can be threatening to some. By thinking of yourself, you set it in motion that you are worth finding and exploring. Finding the “thing(s)” that gets you motivated to do what you do and to have the positive focus on your life and benefit to others, not only gives you a more fulfilled life but strengthens you as a whole.
The people around you will need to love you for you and accept all the good that has transpired within and around you. Mapping out the life that you desire and taking all the necessary steps helps you take action and responsibility for you. Only you can make those changes, nobody else.
What are you doing to change your life? Are you living the authentic, passion-filled, happy life that you’ve imagined you’d have? What is holding you back? What step can you do today to head in the direction of your goals and dreams? Take back your power and reclaim your life!
Cheers,
Tania Boutin
