The Importance Of Wanting Change

Written By Colēgia

Change can feel difficult at times. When it's unexpected it can take us by surprise. Even when we know change is on the way it might still be something we aren't sure of. Being able to reframe this though can help us have a better relationship with the ever-shifting nature of life. Today we want to take a look at why it's important to want change.

Change Helps Us Grow

A great thing about change is that it can help us grow as a person. When we're too set in our ways it can be difficult to appreciate all the new knowledge and information that we learn. We need change to help us rethink things so that we can have a more accurate representation of the world. Changing our mindset can help us learn how to appreciate others and the things we have in our lives. Consider this, when we're young we have a very limited understanding of the world. If we didn't change our minds when presented with new concepts then we'd never be able to see the value in different subjects. Change helps us see the truth and can give us the courage to make better decisions in the process. It allows us to better ourselves and make decisions that can let us make the most out of our time.

Change Teaches Us Acceptance

There are many things in life that are in a constant state of change that are beyond our control. The weather, us getting older each day, and traffic are just a few of these examples. None of these are inherently bad, they're simply a different state of something. Being able to accept and even celebrate change can give us a much-needed perspective shift. Accepting something doesn't necessarily mean we agree with it but it does mean we're able to find ways we can mentally adapt to things. This can help us shift things so that we can find ways to work on personal empowerment. Recognizing that change isn't something that needs fixing can help us enjoy the time we spend on things and let go of what is out of our control.

Change Provides Happiness

Happiness is something that ebbs and flows. Some days we might feel great while others we might just be going through the motions. It's good to keep in mind that our emotions are in a state of change as well. Expecting ourselves to always be happy isn't realistic. A better way to look at things is to focus on how change can facilitate consistency. A good example of this is trying out new things that we feel may bring us enjoyment. Learning a new skill or taking up a new hobby can be their own reward. We need to start somewhere when it comes to doing things and having an open mind can make it much easier. Taking charge of our happiness by being okay with change can help us reclaim our personal power.
