    • Marci, I think you’ll find that even the simpliest actions create such a big difference! Best wishes! Oh, and no striving!! ~ Let it be easy! 🙂 xo

  1. Hey Cindie! I love this “We may want to ask “Why on earth would we want to keep things familiar if familiar means we never have quite enough money, we are tolerating a crappy (maybe even abusive) relationship, or we are experiencing less than optimal health, or any other ‘familiar thing‘ that is basically keeping us miserable??” haha…
    We human all know, just don’t do enough…
    Thanks for introducing me the “lizard brain” concept, it’s good to have a name to refer to going forward.
    Simple yet great (and doable) tips on those baby steps!
    Thank you!
    Love & blessings,
    Yiye

  2. Cindie:

    I love it when I can blame something on my brain! : )

    So much of our behaviour can be better explained when looked at through this filter. Of course we will tend to play it safe when our lizard brain is in full gear. As Satir said, familiarity is a powerful motivator.

    Great article!

    • Hi Sarah, I’m glad you enjoyed the article, and I LOL at your “I love it when I can blame something on my brain!” 🙂 xo

  3. Cindie, so true! I can relate this to my writing blocks and all the resistance we have around sitting down and doing the work. The action of working requires that you change stuff . . . beliefs, habits, priorities, even big life decisions. It’s extremely challenging but so important to recognize that we’re hard-wired to resist the process of change. When we acknowledge this, we can be more compassionate with ourselves.

    • Hi Cynthia, So glad you popped in, and I appreciate your comments – so glad you mentioned compassion, it is a necessary ingredient for moving forward! xo 🙂
