Why Change is Worth Embracing

Written By Colēgia

Change can carry many different stigmas to it. For some of us, it can be intimidating since it often carries with it a sense of uncertainty. For others, it can be more enjoyable. Being able to see change in a more positive light can be extremely beneficial. Today we want to talk about why change is worth embracing and some mindset shifts that can help us.

Flexibility

Being able to adapt to the different situations that we face is an extremely important life skill. One way that this ties into the idea of embracing change is that this is an example of a growth based mindset. Sometimes we may get comfortable doing things the way we usually do which can make us complacent with our thoughts and actions. When we get into this mindset, it can be hard for us to see the value in learning how to do things differently. Rather than letting this happen, taking active steps to say yes and be more flexible in our thinking can help us immensely. Adaptability is closely linked to flexibility since both revolve around us being able to make the best out of the hand we're working with. Change can teach us this skill and it can in turn help us in our day-to-day lives.

Opportunity

Another great way to help see change in a more positive light is by viewing it as a form of opportunity. Understanding how we associate change is an important thing to consider. Some of us may be wary of it since we might see it as something unwanted or as a sort of responsibility to take care of. A more healthy approach is seeing what this sort of change can offer you within your life. A good example of this is moving somewhere new. A common thought we may have is thinking about how all the logistics will align for things. While it's good to consider these, it's equally important to think about all the new things you can do by being in a new environment. Opportunity can be found in many different places, it's simply a matter of being open to things and making the best of them.

Empowerment

In order to truly embrace change, we need to be empowered by it. This concept is crucial since it effectively allows us to both see and feel how much it impacts us. One example of this can be implementing a new health routine. It can include getting a better night's sleep, along with a better dietary plan. Changes such as these affect us at such a fundamental level that we allow them to empower ourselves to make better choices. This can even extend to change for things that go beyond our physical health. Doing meditation for example can give us the means to see different kinds of perspectives along with building up other good mental habits. Learning how to use change in a manner that can help you is the key in making the most of it.
