Change Is Easy: Here’s A Fun Way to Begin.
Oh yikes, change. Talk about a loaded word.
Change is good. Change is hard. I don’t wanna change. I really wish he/she would change. I’m ready for a change.
Either way, change implies a separation. A gap between where I am here, and where I’m looking at over there. Crossing that distance can seem overwhelming.
I don’t know about you, but I can get bogged down with even starting. And then I learned a new way to look at change:
It’s simply something new.
You are already enough, here. And there’s nothing wrong with you over there, It’s just relocation. Another turn on the spiral.
When I see change as simply something new, it becomes fun.
I don’t need to reorder my life, I can simply give something a whirl. I’m not required to create world peace, I can just try kayaking. Who knows where it will lead? It may lead nowhere, but getting there might be everything.
Trying something new — even something small — is a dynamic reminder that it’s never too late to change your life.
Here are some random small acts of trying new things. What else can you think of?
- Go a different route to your regular errands.
- Take a chance on a movie.
- Turn off media background sounds.
- Cook dinner. Or, order out. Whichever is out of your norm.
- Go for a walk instead of ________.
- Wear the article of clothing that is at the very bottom of your drawer.
- Switch up your parking spot.
Here are some random medium acts of trying new things. What comes to your mind?
- Sign up for a Community Education class.
- Get an instrument and learn to play it.
- Experiment with a capsule wardrobe.
- Add a digital book checkout to your physical library use.
- Repaint a room.
- Downsize your stored items, and live more with less.
- Choose a new exercise/movement plan.
I gave making healthy homemade dog food a try. (My dog loves it!)
So forget about change, crossing gaps, and end results. What’s simply one new thing you can try this week?

I asked a group of people yesterday what’s something new they’ve tried lately, outside of work. Some responses were building a farmhouse table, attending an aerial yoga class, getting a reclining-style bicycle, and buying a family business. Wow!!
I am drawn to playing the violin, and know that I will…one day. One action I took today toward that was to browse violins, for the first time ever. I even put one in my Amazon Wish List…! I think “one day” might be Christmas for myself? 😛
