Restlessness and "Big Change"

June 10, 2008

When people feel restless, or that, “there must be more to life than this”, it’s often really tempting to go for, “the big change”. You know the kind of thing. People up sticks and move to different countries, set up businesses and the like.

But, whether or not you’re aiming for , “the big change,” if you’re feeling restless, why not start with small changes first? The easiest and most sustainable way to do this is to change just one thing about your day, every day. So, for example, if you always buy a latte each morning, from Cafe X, on day one of the change you might order tea, and on Day two, order anything you like, but from cafe Z. Small changes like that can actually add up to a different day-to-day experience surprisingly fast.

Neither do they stop you from making the bigger changes. In fact, putting this kind of new idea into practice should make the bigger changes easier, because:

-You’ll already be in “change mode,” so bigger changes will seem less daunting and more exciting,

-The small changes you make may introduce you to new people and concepts into which you can make an easy and natural transition, and

-You’ll become more experienced at integrating change into your life, and the skill will carry forward into major changes too.

Hope this helps-more soon!
