Unfreezing

If you want to change your life you have to unfreeze yourself. Here change means upward improvements in the life. Human life is precious. Each one of us there is infinite potentiality, infinite energy. We can make our life beautiful. We can make our own character beautiful. We are the maker of our life. But we all love status-quo. We don’t want to change our life.  Even we don’t want to change our habits. We stick to our old habits, even if it is harmful for our body and mind.

We are facing resistance for change in our life when we are going to take steps for any change in the pattern of our life. This resistance comes from our external and mainly from internal environment. Our restless and uncontrolled mind is our main enemy. Identify this enemy. Only identification is not sufficient. Try to control your mind. Use your analysis power. Don’t run behind your restless mind.  In our daily life when we are going to do any work, our mind resist us. `Leave today, I shall do it tomorrow` - this is our mantra. But, tomorrow never comes. Life is going on, we are growing older day by day and our habits are also stronger day by day. It is very difficult to change these strong habits.

Take a strong determination. Unfreeze yourself. Unfreezing means moving to new level of behavior. Break the pattern of your life. Only eating and sleeping is meaningless. Improve the quality of your life. When we are going to market, we are much concern about the quality of the product. But we are ignoring the quality of our own life which is a gift of God. Brick by brick make your good habits ignoring the resistance from your restless mind. If you strong in character, your mind will follow you. If you weak, you will follow your mind. Then you are the servant of your mind. Act like a master.

In the beginning, make a chart and analyze it at the end of the week. If there is progress, encourage yourself. If there is no progress, think seriously the causes. Some examples:

Breaking status-quo	M	T	W	T	F	S	Sunday Result
Suppose you want to be a punctual employee in your office and your reporting time is 10.30 am.	10.45	10.50	11	11.20	10.30	10.35		1/7
Suppose you want to be an early riser	√	X	X	X	√	√		3/7
Suppose you want to morning walk and take some physical exercises to make your body fit	√	√	X	X	√	X		3/7
Suppose you want to leave the tobacco products	X	X	√	X	√	√		3/7
Suppose you want to read a holy book at least 10 minutes daily which will give you strength	√	√	√	X	X	√		4/7
Suppose you want to be neat and clean in official as well as personal matters	√	√	X	√	√	X		4/7

Life making and character building is not a magic. Care must be there. If you are trying utmostly, you will succeed.  If you not unfreeze yourself, you are unable to taste the joy of this precious human life.
