The Right Time to Transform Your Life

 

As far as the Sacred Seasons go, Discover is the time to learn some vital information about yourself.  It's time to figure out where you are and how you got there.  Once you know that and not before, it's time to make a change.  That is the point at which you enter the season of Transform.

By the end of the season of discover, you know how you build tension and how you release it.  You know when your energy is moving, when it isn't and how to move it.  You can move and direct parts of your body that you did not know you could move.  You can feel your breath move through your whole spine and your whole body.  You notice your posture and are aware of changes in it.

At the end of Discover, you know how you made your body the way it is.  You know how to change it and you are starting to get motivated to do so.  You begin to use all your new found strategies to build tension on purpose.  You build it to create the shift or change.  You build it to create intensity and to gain emotional leverage that motivates you to grow outside of your comfort zone.

Now you are ready to Transform.  You are ready for more.  You are ready to take it on and do whatever it takes to get you towards your goal.  The Season of Transform is goal driven.  It is all about purposeful action towards a desired outcome.

In Transform, your vision is directed forward.  You no longer look to the past to find the meaning of the present moment.  Your energy is future directed.  The past is only visited to measure how much progress you have made.  Transform is about progress.  It is about accountability.  It is about going to the places that were too scary to go when you were in Discover.  You are still motivated to move away from the pain at the beginning of Transform but you are also moving towards a goal.  In Discover you just wanted the pain to go away.  In Transform you say' "Bring it on!  I can take it."

The key to success when living in Transform is action.  You may not know the actions necessary but you act anyway. 

Dr. Donald Epstein, the founder of Network Spinal Analysis (NSA) says that, "No action when action is necessary is wrong action."  He also suggests taking action first and then correcting as you do it.  It does not matter if you know what to do or not.  When you start doing, it creates energy that feeds the accomplishment of your goal.

You are no longer paralyzed by all the obstacles to the goal as you were in Discover.  Now the obstacles are your friends because they give you challenges to solve and steps to take towards your goal.  You actually invite challenge because you know it strengthens you.  What you wanted to go away in Discover is your ally in Transform.

This season starts with you finding the courage and strength to move past the things that kept you stuck in the same old rut.  As you get the power to stand up and face the fears you had about moving forward, you actually move through and merge with all the things that kept you from growing.  You find out that your fears were only illusions that you treated as real things.

Now that you know that there is nothing in your way that can stop you from reaching your goal, you get ready to do whatever it takes!  You'll find your way around or through anything.  You build up energy as you build momentum and become unstoppable.  Do you know why you're doing this?  For whatever comes.  Do you know what you'll do? 

Whatever it takes.  Do you know what you're doing?  To be revealed.

As you build up all this Transform energy, you begin to sort through your life and see not only what you need to add to it but also what needs to go.  Some of the things that used to be "So You" no longer fit the person who is making this transformation.  As you wrap up the Season of Transform, you find yourself getting rid of all the stuff that no longer fits

who you are.  It's like clearing out a closet.  You get rid of all the cloths that don't fit, are out of style or that you don't
like.  You only keep the things that you love and make you look and feel great.

The Season of Transform is really fun.  It is the right time to transform your life. 
Action here is sustainable and results are the only option.
