Change is good!

Why change things that ‘work’? Well, things that work are not necessarily working for you in the best possible way, are they now? Making changes can seriously enhance your happiness, and here is why:

We all have ways of doing things – systems – that we have created many moons ago and have not revisited or questioned ever since. It always feels like less of a hassle to continue doing things the way you are used to, than making changes that may or may not be an improvement.

Here’s the thing: taking a step back, considering a change and applying it is a one stop shop. Continuing to do things in an overly complicated way will affect you every single time you do it. From a purely practical point of view it makes sense to make a change and be done with the complication in the future, doesn’t it?

We all shy away from making changes, because we feel it’s extra work, because we are comfortable with the way we do a certain thing, because we were taught that way,… but sometimes it’s a good thing to be rational about such considerations and review and modify.

I’m not advocating for lots of big changes all at once, but whenever you wonder if something tedious can be done easier or faster, it may be time to think about other ways to do this. Sometimes doing things in a different order can make all the difference, or you may want to wait a little longer and do more of the same in one fell swoop instead of repeating the same step over and over every single day.

Change can also take the shape of placing furniture in different ways to account for different use of your space in winter, changing the photographs in the frames on your walls, or painting your entrance hall a different colour.
Here’s your task for today: Take a moment to think what you could change to make a difference. This could be rearranging your timetable, considering grouping certain tasks together rather than doing them separately, or applying cosmetic changes to your space (without adding more work to your busy schedule, of course).

Decide which one thing you will do right now. Think it through and put everything in place for that thing to go as smoothly as possible.

I wish you happy thoughts and good luck.
