A few days ago, my family & I watched a brilliant documentary about Gerry Lopez, a world-famous surfer, and traveler. Gerry's life journey is inspirational, and as I watched the documentary, I couldn't help but think about the changes he made in order to achieve such mastery in surfing.
He tells the story of how he transformed and kept transforming. He’s well into his 70’s but still embodies change day in & day out. As I watched this documentary I was paying attention to the changes he made to acquire such surfing mastery.
In this episode, we will discuss the four stages of change, which is a topic that is central to the "Love Your Expat Life" podcast.
Change is something we’re used
to as global nomads. Yet it can be difficult and even stressful for
some people, as it often involves leaving behind the familiar and
facing the unknown.
But, change is inevitable whether or not we
move around the world. In fact, I would argue that change is
necessary for personal growth and evolution.
Like a surfer who chooses which
waves to ride, we can choose the changes that are right for us and
that align with our goals and values. Sometimes we may fall, and we
learn from trying. This is why I believe that embracing change
rather than simply resisting and reacting to it is always a better
option.
The
steps mentioned in this episode are the foundation of the
coaching program that I offer, which is designed to help you
become aware of the changes you wish to make, observe and
understand your current thought patterns that create your current
habits and the results you see in your life, try new approaches,
and practice deliberately, intentionally in order to create lasting
change.
The program also includes a system of support,
accountability, and guidance to help you stay committed to the
process and make progress toward your goals.
If
you are curious about it and if you are ready to take your dreams
and aspirations seriously, join the waiting list here. The program opens its doors at the end of the
month and you can be the first one to know about it!
