The Quick Fix! ...is there a shortcut to wellbeing?

As much as I want you to keep reading this to the end… the answer is no. 
 
Now don’t lose faith, there are tiny simple changes we can make to our habits, daily lives, thought processes, perspectives and so on that make a huge difference. But is it a quick fix? Not particularly! 
 
Our society has become fixated on life hacks and quick fixes and ‘28 days to a better you’. These things have their place in the world, they can jolt us out of a slump, but do they achieve a long-term shift… not really. And apologies for going there already, but as the ‘new year new me’ trope looms we’ll be seeing endless streams of quick fixes that promise to change our lives. 
 
The truth, from my perspective, is to live well is to play the long game. 
 
To know how to improve ourselves, our circumstances, our overall wellbeing, we must firstly truly know ourselves. We must go inward, layer by layer to understand what makes us tick, what belief systems guide us, the past experiences that still control our actions, and where our sneaky little self-saboteur lurks. With this understanding we find the tiny simple changes we can make to get us to where we want to be. 
 
Are we fixed now? ...Nearly!
 
The changes may be small, they are undoubtedly mighty! But they take time, effort, practice and accountability to become our new way of being. 
 

As I began to do my own inner work I discovered that I’d been living my life based on what I thought I ‘should’ do in order to please and impress the people around me. 

The tiny simple change I needed to make was to acknowledge when I was leaning towards ‘should’, pause, and consider what I want and/or need. 

Simple. 

But this took focus and practice. It was an unwiring of a past thought process and belief system and a wiring of a new one. But with time, effort and patience, this has become my new normal. And it absolutely has changed my life for the better, permanently. 

There is no quick fix to changing habits of a lifetime, and there’s no quick fix to making new habits that last a lifetime. It takes time, patience and a bit of self-discipline, but the sooner you start the sooner things begin to shift.
