Everything changes around us. According to Darwin, neither the strongest nor the smartest species will survive but that will be able to adapt to the changes of the environment. If we resist changing, we will be at a loss. Procrastination is a form of resistance to change. The body may be the first thing that we postpone taking care of. If we are unfit & our nourishment is poor, alll our energy levels will slide. We will become stagnant: in the sense of becoming unmoving, unchanging, our changing towards becoming more unchanging! A body that is stagnant will eventuallly corrupt itself, It will disrupt the immune system, lose its ability to self-heal, will have no freedom of will, no ability to act to preserve its goal & its ability to change.
"I can't afford to" is the common cry is often used to explain why action is impossible. Money is often seen as a reason or used as an excuse for not being able to change; for remaining stuck in a job, a relationship, a home that you prefer to leave. In fact, them main capital for bringing about change is not financial capital; it is intellectual capital: your thoughts, your will, your knowledge, your determination. By automaticallly saying the words "I can't afford it" your brain stops working. By asking the question "How can I afford it?" your brain is put to work, & you are becoming to change.
Consider a tree while you are at the center, with branches that represent basic categories such as Home, Friends, Love & Sex, Family, Children, Work, Hobbies, Creativity, Finances, Health & Fitness, Spirit, or others, that suit your needs. To maintain healthy balance it is essential that throughout periods of time where the emphasis of your life changes you keep the overalll balance stable. As once branch of your life grows (e.g. Work), take care to keep the other basic branches strong also, so you do not neglect the roots of your stability that nourish your ongoing growth.
Please consider reading books by Margaret J. Wheatley in addition to this book. She writes much about change. "Our old views constrain us. They deprive us from engaging fully with this universe of potentials", she writes.
