A rolling stone gathers no moss, change is the law of life, progress is impossible without change, change is ongoing, the world changes, people change. Mother Nature rolls over from one season to the next, babies are born, people die, life goes on.
I could spend hours talking about change and writing quotes about change – it is everywhere. Then why don’t I feel like I am experiencing change anymore? I am finding out in my fifties, job opportunities are not there like they used to be, people are retiring for more of the same, and life can become pretty monotonous. Most of us have long-standing marriages, have been in the same jobs for quite some time, and our children have grown and moved on.
Change has now been replaced with status quo.
Status quo terrifies me. It represents stagnation, no movement and just the same old thing. Change is where it’s at and I firmly believe that change is necessary for vibrancy and to feel more connection with your life. It helps to keep you young and current. If change is not happening to me, then I am going to have to create that change. How? By working this list below – think of it as the 7 steps towards movement.
- Identify and understand what you want to change – Get quiet, focus on yourself, and narrow down your “source” of what needs to change, what needs movement.
- Rid your life of negativity – When you wake up every day, repeat to yourself that you are thankful and grateful for this day. Count your blessings using your toes – get through 10 each day.
- Exercise more often – Exercise dusts out the cobwebs every day and helps you to think more clearly.
- Be kind to others. This will make you love yourself more – trust me.
- Build a support network. Having people to talk to and who support you is key.
- Eliminate the non-essentials. Stop living in the weeds and get out in the air.
- Take baby steps. Make a list – one small step at a time.Work these steps and change will happen.
