It's amazing how powerful change can be. Making changes can influence how we feel about ourselves, our attitudes towards life, and even our behavior. As difficult as it can seem, change that we willingly and willfully bring into our lives gives us a sense of empowerment and reminds us that we are capable of influencing the world around us. If change seems too scary, start small. It's okay to build your confidence, to stretch out transitions, or to take baby steps. Just making the change is a brave act.
When our lives get to a point where we are just going through the motions, surviving not thriving, it's time for change!
There is no point in remaining miserable, uncomfortable or frustrated if there is another option that is much more favorable to our overall well being. How we change our lives can be subtle or dramatic, and it can be something we embrace or struggle with. It's up to us to decide how we handle change.
There are many ways to make a change. A big change is going to have an immediate effect that everyone around you can see. If your life needs a complete overhaul, radical types of changes might be exactly what you want and need. You can go back to school for a new career, leave a relationship that's unhealthy, or move to a new community. Of course, not all of us need something this drastic. If you need something more subtle, there are plenty of options for making change on many, many levels. You can make physical changes like changing your appearance- lose weight, change your hair, adopt a new style or pick a nail polish that's it out of your comfort zone. You can try changing your inner landscape through the practice of meditation or mindfulness, therapy, gratitude or other inner transformation techniques. We can also transform our environments: paint a room, bring in some seasonal decorations, rearrange your space, get a plant or a pet (if your lifestyle permits).

Whatever degree of change you make, it'll have a ripple effect on your life. The old saying, "if it ain't broke don't fix it" doesn't mention that if you don't make changes your life can't improve..."out with the old in with the new!" Often taking that leap ends up with results that are equal to or better than our expectations! Be fearless...make a change!
