Have you ever seen this saying in my post title?  Change is the only constant in the Universe.  Things change all of the time.  We change all of the time too.

I’ve decided to put my foot down–with myself.  I’ve decided to no longer procrastinate on my dreams that I’ve long held.  From now on, I’m not going to live with my light hidden. 

Things have changed a lot for me as of late.  I’ve felted tested.  I was tired of all of the challenges and delays.  I decided to stop seeing it as a test.  I just see it as the life I’ve created.  That’s all.  It’s just change.

For a while, I’ve been frustrated with others who won’t change.  I would become annoyed at their limiting beliefs or refusal to work to make things better in their lives.  One day, a simple grocery shopping trip taught me that I need to learn how to deal with change too.  I went with my husband and he not only parked the car in a different place than I usually park, but he drove the shopping cart.  My brain felt very challenged.  I have a routine and since I’m visual, I felt I had to shop this way to remember things in case I forgot to put something on my shopping list.  Gosh, I realized, I really need to get a grip.  I can’t be so rigid about doing things a certain way.  It’s actually probably pretty good for your brain to park in new places, take different routes, and to do things differently–to CHANGE it up.

So, I’m working on being more flexible in my life.  Also, I’m working to release judgments about others who won’t change–in my eyes.  It’s their life, their process, and well, it’s all good.  I like it when author Debbie Ford talks about resigning as General Manager of the Universe.  Okay, I resign!

Change is scary at first, but if you just breathe into it, change feels great.  I have been working on being okay with change as I do my yoga.  As I start my practice, I realize my body will shift and change by the time I’m finished with my practice for the day.  This is okay with yoga, so why wouldn’t it be okay off the mat.  That is actually the idea–live your yoga off the mat.  I feel like this lesson has recycled many times in my life.  When I’ve stopped doing yoga throughout the past 10 years on and off, I notice I will quit when I am experiencing many positive changes–some inner and some outer. 

Well, no more.  I’m not quitting this time.  I mean, seriously, change is good.  Change is needed–at least in my life.  I’ve been a stuck, stagnate procrastinator for way too long. 

I’m now singing that song, “Changes”–the David Bowie version…”Ch, ch, ch…changes…!”  Hee hee! 

Just my 2 cents–my spare change!

Enjoy the changes,

Lisa xo
