Why we can’t live without change. Change is an important part of our lives. It is impossible to live without change (it happens every day without us doing much of anything).
This year I think a lot of people want big change, like overhaul their whole lives kind of change. I also think that a lot of us need it. For myself I don’t want to feel comfortable anymore, I feel lazy and undisciplined like I should be doing more. So this month will be about change and how to make it happen.
I think it’s about time we collectively change our lives for the better.
But what even is change?
Well, change can be as little as drinking more water, eating less sugar or not picking off your nail polish. It could even be listening to a new band or watching a new show. But it can be as big as changing your job, moving out of home or moving to a new country. Change can be both positive and negative. It can help and hinder.
There are different types of change, there’s change for personal growth, learning more about yourself, your interests, your likes and dislikes, and your habits (good and bad). There’s change for resilience, emotional change or life-changing events, opportunities or losing a close person or pet or relationship. Change for productivity, waking up earlier, sticking to a routine, getting a better sleep. And lastly change for self-awareness, including your career or job, friends, relationships, and things that are important to you.
Now these aren’t all the different areas of change but they are the easiest to understand and implement.
Change can be big but it can also start small. It allows you to try new things and learn from your mistakes. It’s never too late to try something new and if you fail it’s okay to try something new again and again until something fits. We are forever changing, we age every day, and we learn something new every day even when we don’t realise it. The only thing that is stopping you from controllable change is yourself.
Change is important. It’s also unavoidable. A world without change would suck there would be no enjoyment no learning new skills no changing your life because you want to. But it also can be really scary. I get it, I really do but are you willing to let your fear of change hold you back from being the best you?
I’m not, and I hope you won’t let it hold you back too.
As always,
The Lovely Being.
