Changes - Expected and Unexpected

How do you feel about change?  Do you fear change?  Do you embrace change?

I personally believe that change is good for the soul.  I get bored if things stay the same for too long.  That being said, sometimes I talk myself in, and out of changes that I would like to make, especially to my appearance.  I think about getting my hair cut, and I go back and forth with the long hair/short hair battle.  Then, I think about changing the color.  Do I want to go blonde?  Do I want to go red?  I sometimes think about these changes for months, and I do that because I can't picture myself with the different hair styles or colors.  Basically, it is fear of the unknown.  I don't know what I will look like.  Usually, what happens, is that I get tired of battling with the decision, and I go in to the salon, and make a spur of the moment decision, and hope it turns out good!   I've even been known, a time or two, to tell the stylist to do whatever they want - pick the cut and the color!  (I take the easy way out of indecisiveness and let someone else make the decision.)

I tend to let myself overthink decisions when I am trying to decide on changes to make.  Usually, I end up happy when I just jump right in and do whatever it is I was trying to decide.

How do you handle the decisions regarding making changes in your life?  Do you jump right in and go with the flow?  Do you struggle with the decision?  Do you have difficulty committing to the changes that you want to make, because you don't know the outcome?

Above, I have written about physical change, but there are changes happening within us, that we may not have thought about, strived for, or expected.  I know that I decided that I wanted to lose weight, and committed to making the changes necessary to do that.  I did not expect to feel as happy as I feel.  I did not expect my attitude to change from mostly negative to positive.  I didn't expect to feel inspired to motivate and inspire others.  Of course, I am losing the weight that I am trying to lose, but I feel like the best changes that are happening to me, are the ones that I didn't have to think about, and are changes that I never expected to happen.  Making the decision to change one thing, led to many changes.



Always remember – YOU ARE AWESOME!  Go out and make it a great day!
