Sometimes we think that breaking out of a rut means a huge effort and we end up putting off doing something new. We think of the big things when it’s more powerful to just do something small and quiet.
How many times have we thought about whether we should go to that after work meal or the gathering and felt that it would be more effort than it was worth? We go along and often it can change the feel of the whole week, we come back with a nice memory or maybe we met someone new who made us think differently
Trying something new or different doesn’t mean you need to buy, it would be an expensive trip to the shops if that were the case! It’s OK to try something that we might not feel is ‘me’.
Go to a museum, visit a park or watch a film you wouldn’t normally dream of watching. The thing with trying something on for size is that it shakes you up a bit, causes you to think differently, and that can lead to new ideas and new ways of doing things. It could lead you out of boredom and into something that inspires you.
It might all seem simplistic, but actually, life is pretty simple, we have to sleep, we have to wake, and eventually we will die. So in between all of those traffic lights we have to do something, so it might as well be stuff that feels good.
This is all change, and change can be scary or annoying or exciting. However you feel about it the posts here will try and give you ideas, cause discussion and hopefully get the changing rooms full ! This will be a place to come and share ways we have made change happen, reacted to change, tried something new or how we keep life feeling fresh.
My aim is to help people to feel better about change and if we feel better about change then life can open up to new people and experiences. I invite everyone to try something new for size.
