Knowing When to Change

Written By Colēgia

Having a routine is something that can be extremely helpful. Sometimes though we do need to break away from it in order to have more variety within our lives. Knowing when to change is important since it can help us recognize our habits. Today we want to talk about why this matters and how to work towards it.

Understanding Your Habits

Learning about your habits is an important way to help us know more about who we are. Many of our habits can help us and others can affect us adversely. Being able to properly distinguish which of these works for us in a constructive manner is important. A great example of this is seeing what time you usually go to bed. In many cases, it may be much later than we may expect. This can eventually turn into a lack of sleep which can make us feel tired and with low energy. Examining how you feel in the morning can give you clarity into whether or not this is something sustainable long-term. Your habits are meant to empower you and tuning into this is a key factor when it comes to change.

Removing Elements From Your Life

Throughout our lives, there will often be instances where we have a lot of clutter. This can take up a lot of our time and energy and there eventually will come a point where we need to remove these elements. A great example of this is being able to have a clean work environment. This is good because it helps us focus on the task at hand without being distracted by other things. Other things that fall under this can be lists that have too many tasks on them. Realistically we don't need to accomplish too many things in one day and we can find methods to help us cut down on that. Sometimes simple tasks can go much further for us than more complex ones. Cutting down on things can open up new opportunities, it's simply a matter of trying it out.

What Works For You?

When it comes to change it is ultimately up to you to decide what works. For some people, a more active schedule is better because they naturally have a tendency to do this. Others may prefer a slower approach to their tasks. Either is viable and it completely depends on the person. Change is something that is always happening and working alongside it can be a great option. Self-awareness along with being able to adapt are two of the most helpful ways to know when to embrace change. Change can help us discover things that we may love and give us the creative freedom to try things out that our hearts and minds feel. Being able to push past feelings of resistance when it comes to change is good because those thoughts can often prevent us from experiencing these new things. Finding small ways to look at the things we do in a different manner can help us know when we need to change.
