Superhero/ine 2; The Art of Breaking Down

Superhero/ine! 2
The Art of breaking down.

Most people dread breaking down.

 Breaking down, though, is such an important part of change, especially the one that is of permanent in nature.  There is a thin line between breakthrough/ breakdown.  Its dangerous and needs courage.  If you want to lead your life always striving.  You will be constantly pushing your limits, physically & emotionally.  At the point of your limit, you might breakdown and that is completely normal and ok.

The interesting thing is that once you do it a couple of times...it gets easier.  It becomes part of your journey through life.

 Now, instead of this happening as a haphazard or chaotic process.  You can make it a determined effort.

Any change has 3 steps. 
Be clear as to what you want to change. 
Identify the elements that will lead to the change.
Do the things in #2 to make the change mentioned in #1.

Making a “change” is the journey of breaking down.  You got to breakdown the old patterns/ thoughts/ actions. Sometimes it translates to emotional & physical breakdowns.  The deeper the pattern (in terms of how long its been part of you), the more you will need to push the limit.

Have a good environment to make your journey..to change and if needed, breaking down.  Having the right kind of people who can handle your breaking down and further be there as a support structure.  Two kind words can mean a lot at the right time.  Books, A trip, A movie... find things that help you undergo this journey.

When you lock onto to a new habit this way... the change is of permanent nature...

Next time you find yourself bungling, forgetful ...breaking down and it is towards a better destination...go ahead plunge!
