You’re changing, and that’s a good sign
November 15, 2023
See things with a new lens
Do you ever find yourself scrolling through your phone gallery, looking at the memories captured across various shots? Ever ponder your decisions and how the person holding the phone would reconsider taking a similar approach?
Words are powerful; learn to use them effectively
When you’re having a conversation with a friend, you can sense it is quickly escalating into an argument. Do you pause to consider whether it is worth risking your friendship over winning an argument?
Be the shoulder someone can lean on
When you’re on the bus and see your go-to seat vacant, do you ever stop to look around at the older adult struggling to stand and provide the seat?
Focus
Do you ever turn off your phone and put it away because you know your future self will be very stressed if you continue to procrastinate on your school work?

Discipline yourself
Do you ever get up early and fight the urge to press the snooze button so you can pack the lunch you want instead of buying it later, take a shower, beat the traffic and get your workout in?
Set your boundaries
Do you find yourself saying no to things you previously agreed to? Whether that’s an opportunity to go out and party with your friends when you’re exhausted or taking up an extra task your boss requested you to do.

If you answered yes to any of these scenarios, you are changing, which is a good sign.
It is essential to learn to listen to yourself, know your limits, and do what you believe is right. When you help yourself, you will be able to help others; when you help others, you allow yourself as a byproduct because of how good you feel.
There is nothing wrong with change! It’s an adventure to rediscover yourself, learn to do, and be better.
