"Artists - Let's Change For a Change","  I'll be honest with you; a lot of times it ain't pretty.   When you commit to changing your career for the better, you can expect to go through quite a learning curve on your way to success.   It's messy.   It's awkward and it doesn't necessarily feel good.   Change also creates an enormous feeling of impatience because you just want the results, not all the uncomfortable gunk that comes with it.   You're moving into uncharted territory, so expect some bumps and bruises along the way.   You must be willing to change and be patient during the process in order to make your wildest dreams come true.   It's called psycho-cybernetics and it's more than just a Scrabble-winning word.   When you understand it, you'll be able to embrace the process of change more easily.   If your bedroom thermostat is set at seventy-one degrees and you open the windows one fine November morning, the heat will kick into high gear keeping the room's temperature at the standard seventy-one degrees. You've got your own thermostat and it's called a psycho-cybernetic mechanism.   So, if you've always been broke, your thermostat is set at ""broke. ""  This means that when you begin to make changes, your psycho-cybernetic mechanism will kick in and attempt to prevent the temperature change within you.   So when you begin to change your personal temperature, you can expect the heat to blast down on you.   Never fear, though, because just like a thermostat in a room, you can alter the setting of your internal thermostat. The next time you experience impatience or frustration with your progress, celebrate it rather than jump ship. Just sit tight and understand that change is not linear. If you can hang on through the discomfort of change you will ultimately reprogram your internal thermostat to match the future life you want for yourself.   Resistance is that strong force that slows your progress down.   Sometimes, it might look like bad luck.   Resistance may seem silly or make a lot of sense.   Any way you slice it, resistance just works to keep you from living the life you desire.   A lot of my clients want to figure out why they resist certain actions or where their resistance originates.   You can spend a lot of energy exploring the resistance or you can use that same energy to take action and overcome whatever thought, feelings, or distractions that might hold you back.   It shows up when you're about to do something new or something important to you.   You don't have to fight your resistance before you can get where you want to go.   Instead, you can be grateful for the strong emotions reminding you that what you are about to do matters to you.   It's actually a sign that you care about the outcome.   You're probably excited about the challenge or nervous about the risk.   You're just unsure of what might come next.   So, what do you do with your resistance?  Do you fight it or judge it?  Do you allow it to distract you from the important steps you could be taking?  Or do you use that energy to catapult yourself to new heights?  You can feel resistance without succumbing to it.   Picture something that really scares you such as calling an agent, performing stand-up -- anything will do. Notice your breathing, your heart rate; notice which parts of your body get tense and alert.   Notice the physical response in your body now.   Though your body can't tell the difference between fear and excitement, your mind sure seems to think it can.    Robert Heller said, ""Fear is excitement without breath.   Use that energy to keep you moving rather than keep you stuck. .
