The fastest way to change as a person
12 April 2023
One dimension of adult development is our view of change.
At one stage we may believe that change is something intellectual.
We decide to change, and then we change.
We think.
But the more we develop, the more we see that this isn’t enough.
For sustainable change to happen, insights need to be integrated into our bodies.
This embodiment doesn’t happen in one swoop.
It is a process.
One way is through conversation.
What at first looks like “a waste of time” becomes an oasis of possibilities, once we have seen that the conversation can itself be the engine of change.
It goes slowly.
But still so much faster than when we try, again and again, to “decide” who we want to be.
