Are you afraid to change? Change is hard for some people. They don’t want to step outside their comfort zone and open themselves up to something different that they aren’t familiar with. I get it, this used to be scary to me too! No matter how small the change was. But staying stagnant is something we get too familiar with, I feel, and this is why we get so frightened of any little thing that comes our way. I’m not afraid of change anymore though, it’s just the opposite for me. Nothing scares me more than not changing. Living my life in the same old boring routine, being too afraid to move forward and do something different.
Sometimes change is inevitable, it just happens to you, which makes dealing with that change even harder because it’s something that is forced on you, and is therefore something out of your control. Everyone likes to be in control of their life. Start with something you can control, and start with something small if you find change difficult. It may not seem like much but small steps help prepare you for big changes in your life. Changes that you either did not forsee, or are too scared to take.
I like rearranging my room or living room every so often and redecorating. It keeps it fresh and brings out your creativity at the same time. You wont notice it at first but these small changes can make a huge difference and benefit your life in a very positive way.
The next step for you? Painting your house of course! A little bit of paint can make a world of difference! The above photo is of a house we had worked on recently. It didn’t look like much when we first got there, still a nice house of course, but it just looked like every other house on the block. After a quick Exterior Paint job, it was completely transformed into a beautiful home that stood out from the rest!
Don’t get stuck in a rut. Breathe in that fresh air of change!
