At times, I like to sit by myself and go over recent happenings and see what I could have done differently. This is an acquired habit. I was better at this as a teenager than I am now. I am trying to get build a habit of this introspection every day. My me time, I guess.
I feel like it’s important to be by yourself once in a while and revisit your priorities. Time passes, years go by and we also change. What was important to me ten years ago, might not even feature in my list anymore. New things get added instead. A few things remained on the list but their importance changed position - up or down.
Change is not bad. Resisting that change leads to misery, I feel. It is definitely uncomfortable - at first. But given time, it can become a routine in your life. I am still trying to train my brain to go with the flow and not resist things at the first sign of change. I’ll get there, eventually, with lessons learned, for sure!
It is the season of change all over the world. Some of us are welcoming fall, others are welcoming spring. Some of us are happy about it, others - not so much.
Why not take a minute to think about what you would like to change about yourself, your surroundings and anything on a larger scale - one thing in each category - and try to make it happen?
I’ll go first, I’ll try to set aside ten minutes each day to write and not get too busy with life in general - so my publisher doesn’t need to remind me!
About my surroundings - I am going to get a rose plant and try and keep it alive. People who don’t have a green thumb will relate to how difficult this can be!
On a larger scale, I am going to be more conscious of and try to avert or set straight when someone body shames someone else.
Super simple things really, but they say it takes twenty-one days for a new thing to become a habit. I am going to give it the three weeks it needs!
Wish you all a great season of changes! 🙏🙏
