In all honesty, I have always been terrified of change. Change has never been something that I look forward to and having grown up in the same place my whole life with a lot of external stability, I never realized that change, in any form, can be extremely healthy. As we are almost one month into 2017, maybe it’s time to seriously consider what changes need to be made in your current situation. Below are types of changes to think about and act on if you feel potential lies there.
1. Emotional Changes
I believe that when we get in ruts, emotional changes are the most difficult; to pick yourself back up is no easy task. That is why it’s essential to consciously make the effort and consciously decide to make the change. The truth is that happiness, the sole thing that most of us feel we are lacking in at one point or another, is a change made by choice. Try it out.
2. Perspective Changes
It’s strangely difficult to change perspectives once you’ve developed a standing on something whether that be your ideas towards finance or happiness or anything, really. Most of the times, when our worlds are shaken, that’s when we begin to re-evaluate everything. However, the reality is that we should be thinking through these things pretty frequently
3. Locational Changes
Sometimes, being in the same place dulls your mind. I frequent the same cafes a lot when I study because it decreases stimuli from outside sources. At the same time, I believe that it’s beyond important to go to new places often to heighten your awareness of the world. Never settle for doing the same routines over and over again.
4. Physical Changes
Let me be the first to tell you that physicality is not as important as we all imagine it to be. But the importance is held in the fact that what we feel in our daily lives heavily affects our performance and our ability to be the best we can be. Whether it be avoiding certain foods or choosing more of a moderation lifestyle, make sure that what you are consuming is really what makes the machinery of your body efficient. Changes like these are easier said than done because most of our behavior is habit-based. Take it day by day and never ever guilt yourself.
