Change is a Process, not an Event
If only we could do something once and it became the norm for us, but alas, change is a process, not a one time event!
Change requires us to move through the following stages:
We start in Unconscious Incompetence where we really don’t know what we don’t know ;)
When we have an awareness of something that we can improve, we move to Conscious Incompetence - we are a work in progress and we have a willingness to bring about change
As we start implementing the change, we move into Conscious Competence which requires effort on our part as we have to be aware of when we need to be practising our new skill/practise - and the more we practise and implement, the better we get at it, and more it becomes part of our lives, which eventually leads us to
Unconscious Competence where the change has become second nature to us. We implement it without thinking as it is part of our daily fibre, who we are.
These changes can be on many different levels - from the practical aspect of maintaining our finances - starting with what we need to do to become a good custodian of our money to actually following through with the practices until they are part of our daily lives, to habits or emotional states that we may want to change.
Change is a never ending process. Even when we are in Unconscious Competence, there is still room for growth. Change is like a spiral, and, if we choose to, we can move up continuously. Slowly but surely improving on ourselves from yesterday.
A 1% improvement on yesterday will see massive change in a year!
