Don't wait for magical solutions.Do something to help yourself. Be strong!Conquer any resistance to change and challenge all your defeatist attitudes. Learn to believe you can change things.

There are many reasons why people avoid change-fears, lack of motivation, resentment of pressure, helpless feelings, procrastination, wanting to avoid responsibility, wanting to live spontaneously without change, wanting sympathy and to be taken care of,feeling that it's too much trouble to change, pride and stubbornness, being willing to accept our own rationalizations("it runs in my family"), being inflexible, feeling that we are not okay and deserve to be miserable, and other motives.

It may be hard to understand your reasons for avoiding change if you are a procrastinator, but remember, there are reasons for everything. Look for your reasons. For example, shyness may enable you to avoid the stress of socializiing; being irresponsible may get other people "off your back", since they are likely to stop expecting you to be a mature, capable, dependable person.

If ou decide some self-improvment is especially important but haven't made plans for changing within a day or two, then focus on the reasons for your inactivity. If you can't be sure of the reason, then guess at it. Try to deal with the possible resistance to change like any other problem,i.e.develop a plan of attack by analyzing your resistance to change as well as the problem itself. There is good reason to believe that self-help techniques aren't remembered and used unless the person believes he/she is able to change him/herself. Question the validity of your pessimism. And, people that have failded to change in the past won't believe they can change until they have drafted a good plan and done it. So, give it a try.

Practive thinking positively about your ability to change; be strong and do things to prove your self-help skills; daydream frequently about how nice it will be after you change. Likewise, face up to the bad consequences of not changing; don't give excuses and let yourself "off easy;", refuse to accept weakness, helplessness, and self-defeating attitudes. As Epictetus said 2000 years ago, "No man is free who is not master of himself."
