When you feel the need to change something about yourself, what steps do you take to bring about that change? how often does it work for you?

I pray and ask the Lord to help me to change....He's already helped me sooo much!
If I am sincere in my desire, it always works, not that I don't ever backslide (nobody's perfect), but that's what forgiveness is there for, when we do.

You need to think about what it is exactly that you want to change about yourself and why. Think about some things you can do to make the change. Like for instance. I just recently changed my eating habits from eating out all the time with my boyfriend to going grocery shopping and disciplining myself to only make good choices. Allowing myself to pick different fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and some meats. And the more you discipline yourself, the better you will do in making a change. Changing something about yourself is not the easiest thing, but if you believe in yourself and follow the strict guidelines you lay out for yourself, YOU WILL SUCCEED :)

I pray about it, Then decide what I want to change thru prayer, and then make a list of what steps that I need to make for the change. Yes it works for me.

Pack up your things in a big box, run to the hills, spend time thinking and being pensive. Think about what you want, what you are right now and what you'd like to be and GO FOR IT. Change is an amaaaazing thing. Good luck!

you create change by accepting who you are and loving yourself, but also realizing that you are not perfect and change doesnt happen over night it is a very vigrous process which you have to do everyday. you have to be commited and determine you have to remeber why you want to change but never forget who you are you have to be dedicated and willing to work hard for what you want life nots easy know said it would be.

It always works with heartful prayer, meditation and brave action according to the results of meditation.
Take for example, you want to quit drinking.
Pray for physical and spiritual strength; meditate on the goodness of this victory; definitely, wisely and courageously abstain from drinking despite of all criticism from former drinking friends, all strong urge of bodily desire, all loss of various benefits in drinking parties...
Victory or failure completely depends on your own will and true purpose.

Some times I go for that second cup of coffee in the morning. That really shakes things up around here...

Tell yourself over and over again: "I WILL change this. I am changing it now." Say this again and again in your head. You will (with a positive attitude) start believing it. And you indeed will begin to change.
You must repeat it.
You must allow yourself to believe it.
(And yes. It works for me.)

You do it. Take one step at a time and change your life. I've done it. And I did it without the aid of any god.
