Change, good or bad, can be stressful and scary. All of us establish routines, and have 'comfort zones' where we are used to dealing with certain situations, and have established control over our lives. This is disrupted when our lives change in a major way.
Change can be good, or bad. We can go through the misfortune of losing a home or loved one, as so many have in the recent natural disaster involving a tsunami. For those who survived, finding a new home, and a new life, is very stressful.
Good change involves achieving a desired promotion, marriage, children, etc. As much as we may look forward to these good changes, they do take us out of our comfort zones and expose us to new situations.
Sometimes, we need to pause, and take stock of our lives. For instance, after raising my family, I chose to return to school. These changes are not always easy, but they can add to our lives if we have the courage to make them.
The only sure thing in your life, is that somehow, it will change. Take time to review how you feel about your own life; and have the courage to make changes if they are needed. Here are some changes that can affect your life in a positive way:
More education, that will lead to different life paths
Changing jobs, or seeking a promotion
Choosing to move either locally or to a different state or country
Examining your relationships and making changes if necessary.
Taking control of your body: exercise, weight loss, eating something besides junk food
Getting involved and volunteering your time for a good cause
I have shared with you about how I decided after raising my family, to return to school. It has taken courage and stamina to keep up, but I believe it will be worthwhile. Have any of y'all made deliberate changes in your life? How did you feel?
