No Question Is So Difficult to Answer as the One to Which the Answer Is Obvious

One secret to lasting change involves making change in successive approximations and really celebrating the small yet potent steps. Identify a fear and do something small every day to deal with it. Ask yourself these questions:

• What are your biggest sources of concern, frustration or stress?
• What have you tried and why haven’t you found a lasting solution?
• Ask yourself if the ineffective solutions:
• result from a lack of knowledge or skill?
• are an excuse?
• are serving some other purpose, getting you more of what you don’t want?
• What are your underlying assumptions about the issue?
• What are you doing to sabotage your progress?
