OPEN TO CHANGE

Change is hard. No question. As humans we resist change because the idea of stepping out, trying something new is scary. We like to be comfortable, at least I do, and mixing up routines means letting go. I have found in my own life the things that I resist most, usually have insane blessings waiting for me. If only I choose to take the chance and let go. Jump in. Say yes. Or, say no.

This past week I went to an event in NYC with some friends. I always say no to NYC because it takes a lot out of me. I know it's going to be expensive, I know it's going to require energy and smiling and chit chat. I found myself siting across from of a gal at a little Italian restaurant thinking, "I just love you!" I would never, ever have met her otherwise. We may or may not become besties, either way I loved connecting with a total stranger. She was totally outside of my world. It was unexpected and inspiring.

Change can be doing something out of your "normal " routine. Change can be drastic like moving to a new state or going to a new school or losing a friend. I think the key to change is to be open to change, no matter what. It's not healthy for us to be cushy comfortable all the time. We can become ungrateful, bored, unhappy. Pushing yourself is the best thing you can do for your heart and soul and I want to get comfortable with change. I want to change my thinking, loving change.

I think changing our thinking has the power to change our lives! For the better.
