Change: Why It’s Necessary

Oh, hi guys!

It’s been 84 years.. *inserts gif*

Okay, not really. But, I’ve been holding myself accountable to sharing & being more present, & it’s been a second since I’ve posted. I’m back on top of things now, though.

Also, I absolutely LOVE that moment in Titanic when Rose starts to tell her story. So raw. So real. But we aren’t discussing the movie right now, because that’s just an entire rant for another time.

Today, in the spirit of my favorite season, we are talking about change & why it’s necessary.

Change of heart. Change of mind. Change of environment. The whole nine.

When change first happens, it feels invasive & uncomfortable. & more often than not, we are SUPER annoyed by it. Because, um, hello. I was doing JUST fine the way I was, thank you very much.

I know I can’t be the only one that feels that way. However, what we don’t always realize at first is that changes, even the annoying ones, are necessary. They help us grow to become more experienced, & that makes us stronger.

Since I’ve been in Texas, my heart, mindset, environment, & energy have all evolved in one way or another. & each time, although the transitions are tough, I end up a better version of me than I was before. & for that, I’m grateful. Had life not been going the way it has been, I’m positive that there is no way I would be where I am today. Are you seeing why I say it is all so necessary?

We need to embrace it. Seriously.

Ignoring or not accepting changes that come your way is nothing more than you hindering you from becoming your best self.

So let’s get into the deets, so we are all clear on what this kind of growth can be like.

Change of Heart

This is when the way you feel changes. Like, when you decide not to go somewhere, or be involved in something for whatever reasons you may have, but after giving it some thought, you start to feel differently, & you go ahead & go through with it. I’ve experienced this plenty of times.

Change of Mindset

If you’ve been keeping up with me, then you know what this is. We’ve been discussing having a more positive mindset lately. Basically, it’s when you change the way you think about a situation, which in turn changes the outcome. Oh my goodness. I just LOVE that. Our minds really are powerful. There’s more about it here.

Change of Environment

This has such a huge impact when you’re in a place & you’re no longer flourishing. Been there, done that, & I’ve worn the t-shirt. But, you should know, in some cases you can really be doing great where you are, & then the time for change just shows up. That’s life’s way of telling you that you have more growing to do. It happens, & that’s okay.

Change of Energy

This is more like redirecting your energy to where it’s actually needed. It’s when you stop focusing on things that are no longer serving you. Always keep in mind where you are directing your energy, because you will find that the wrong direction can cost you lots of valuable time.

There you have it. So, let’s stop looking at change as if it’s all bad. You never know how embracing it may benefit you.

How do you view change? Do you accept it or get annoyed by it? LMK.

Alright, that’s all for today.

I’m going to go finish watching Titanic, because I shamelessly turned it on after I typed the second line. Haha, I couldn’t help myself!

Later, babes.
