WotD: Change things up
If the pandemic taught us anything, it taught us that sometimes we must change things up to gain a better appreciation for what we already have.
For sure, a change is as good as a holiday, but doing it for the sake of making a change is not such a good thing in the long run.
There should be a reason why we are changing things up, and it should result in a positive outcome.
When you change things up, you change yourself, your habits or something else to improve.
Why would you change things up if everything is going well?
That’s why we have the adage if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
The lockdowns resulting from the pandemic caused many people to reconsider the state of their lives, where they were and where they were going.
The ones who realized they were dissatisfied and could afford it decided to change things up.
Whether enrolling in online lessons, attending Zoom yoga classes or purchasing a house in the middle of nowhere to get out of the city, they all believed, or at least hoped, they were making improvements.
Honestly, if you decided to change things up due to what happened over the past three years, I hope it worked out for you.
Humans are creatures of habit, and we find comfort in life patterns.
That said, we are also driven to change things up every so often.
So, if you’re feeling bored or stuck in a rut, feel free to make minor adjustments to how you do things.
Don’t be afraid to change things up.
