What structure can you put in place around yourself?

Last week’s prompt was about what will it take to create change.

When you ask this question with genuine curiosity, the truth of what’s keeping you stuck starts to show up.

As you shift our approach (from frustration and shaming to curiosity), pieces of the puzzle will fall out of the box. You then can turn them over one by one and check for how real they feel. “Does this make sense to me? Does this feel true?”

As you put those pieces together, solutions unique to you (the only kind that will ever work) emerge.

With a picture (even a fuzzy one) of what might work for you in hand, the next question becomes: What structure can you put in place around yourself to help keep you going?

This quote from James Clear, the author of Atomic Habits highlights the importance of this step. He says, “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”

You dramatically up your chances of success by making the smaller “structural” changes in daily routines, habits, and thought patterns.

To get some ideas flowing, you might also ask- how could I make this easy?
