Change

I thought I had better take a mo' to talk about change. Change seems big doesn't it? You hear it all the time, change this, change that, make a life change, make a big change, make just little changes.... its all change - change - change - change - change!!!!!! I could see why a person would end up resistant to that. I'm pretty certain this was a reason for my fear as well. When we decide to make a change we really have no idea what the end result is going to be. And whether its true or not at the time, this change that we make is going to affect every aspect of our lives so of course it seems huge. If we never change anything we will know what the result is going to be each and every time and there is so much comfort in that. But what if we're not happy with that end result. Time and time again we end up disappointed because nothing has changed!! ha ha! Yet we are afraid to take the challenge and the risk of changing one iddy biddy thing just to see what would happen.....

Albert Einstein

Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

So are we all insane? I would like to know what good ol' Al thought about that.... and some people are really excellent with change and look forward to it - so by no means does this apply to everyone... but why can't change just be easy.... well..... it IS.... if its built up in your mind like its a bad thing then you have been thinking about it WAY too long! And I would challenge you to replace the actual word change with a different one.... I'm choosing to call what I am doing - Evolution. I feel like I have evolved into a - well for lack of a better word - a better person. Not that I was ever a BAD person, but I feel like a better one because I feel smarter - I feel I am treating myself and my body as I always should have - and I am happier day in and day out now. I'm out of the rut.

Here's some more words to use... modify, vary, transform, revolutionize, adjust, amend, alter... see... just wee little things... too easy.... well except for revolutionize I suppose... I LIKE that one... It's a REVOLUTION people!!! Lets do it!!! ha ha ha!!! - suddenly I feel like marching downtown with a herd of women so we can all burn our bras!!!!! YYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!! WOO!! - (oh my god, I'm totally getting a visual... its just crackin me up)

Oh boy... I'll digress again... ha ha ha! I just don't want anyone to get hung up on the idea of adjustments... it's so tiny, and so easy... and if you make a modification that feels good to you - in your guts - the end result can only be GOOD. It can only be good. Pretty low stakes to gamble with I'd say. You're worth the bet!
