A Year of Changes

    Whether you like to admit it or not, changes are hard. Changing clothing brands. Changing shampoos. Changing schools/jobs. Changing houses. Changing towns/states/countries. Changing things whether big or small, imposes some negative factors into your life even if you don't care to admit it. 

    You subconsciously face these factors before the change as well as after. You stop caring for your entire body in the same practice. Maybe you stop eating as healthy, maybe you stop showering or brushing your teeth every day. You definitely don't sleep as well anymore. Your nervous system is fighting off a storm of 'what if' probabilities. 

    What if the new clothes are itchy? 

    What if somebody else is wearing the same style? 

    What if they make fun of your outfit? 

    What if the shampoo smells funny? 

    What if it doesn't clean your hair as well? 

    What if nobody wants to talk to you and you have to eat lunch alone? 

    What if you don't share hobbies with anybody? 

    What if your furniture doesn't fit in the new place? 

    What if it's too dark/bright?

    What if the neighbors are too noisy? What if they think YOU'RE too noisy?

    What if they make fun of your accent?

    There are so many 'what if' probabilities. What if we all just stopped caring? We won't but what if we could? What then? Would society be able to go about its day without fear of judgment or would that nagging factor still be engrained into your subconscious? What started this fear? What made us as humans fear the unknown and adore the familiar? 

    Survival. 

    Your only task is survival. Always has been. And while the familiar may feel safe and secure, the only way you can really continue to survive is by adapting to the changes in your environment. If you really want to thrive then you need to accept these changes early on and start seeking better opportunities for change and growth yourself.
