PARADIGM SHIFT- MAKING PERSONAL CHANGES: Many of us want to make changes in our lives. We want to change our eating habits, our relationship choices, our intentions and beliefs, our thoughts, the way we respond to difficulties or something that we dont like about ourselves. But many of us are stuck in a conventional paradigm, an allopathic paradigm, that says one way of doing things is right, good, or healthy and another is bad, wrong or unhealthy. We then go to war against the bad/unhealthy part or try to surgically remove it. Most plans to change work within this paradigm. However, this mentality only works in rare circumstances and for relatively short periods of time. It is almost never sustainable long-term no matter how aligned we are with what we think is right/healthy. What needs to change in most cases that I see is not how firmly we resolve to make a change, but the war mentality itself. At some point, the thing we go to war with, no matter how reasonable our plan is, will resurface from the shadow we relegated it to because there is something in it that also has value in it.
