Change is in the air

What changes would you make if you had a magic wand?

Life definitely doesn’t stand still for long in our household.

We recently put our flat on the market, started looking around for our dream home and also trying to sell our car/buy another. The last one is my husband’s idea, I have put him in charge of this task and asked him to surprise me with the results (what trust I have!). So all very exciting but slightly mind boggling at the same time.

Funny enough, as soon as we started the ball rolling on all the above I have become even fonder of where we are living and also even more attached to the car (I saw it before as a means to get from A to B, I can hear my husband gasp as he reads this).

Perhaps I am just resisting change. Maybe I have been focussing more on what we will be losing rather than what we will be gaining so decided I need to shift my perspective on a few things.

So I remembered a lovely phrase which gives me a huge boost and always makes me feel better ‘If you do what you’ve always done you will get what you’ve always got’. It has worked.

I am now determined to enjoy what we currently have (as nothing has changed yet!) but also be mindful of the exciting things to come.

So, what positive changes would you like to make? Is there anything stopping you from making these starting today? If you could never fail at anything, what would you do next?

One thing I have become familiar with is ‘change’ particularly after moving countries three times in the past few years. My morning ritual really helps me deal with whatever is going on around me and gets me in a good frame of mind for the day. I try most days to be up by 6.30am (a lot easier now the days are getting lighter earlier!) going for a beautiful run along the river, relaxing and chilling out with yoga plus a spot of creative writing to get my creativity flowing for the day.

That quality time for myself really helps me focus on the day ahead and makes me feel great in myself.

Bring on the change I am ready for it!
