Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes

Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes. I woke up with that phrase rolling around in my mind – Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes. A little mantra that I didn’t consciously decide to recite so I’m going to call it a gift from the Universe (or whatever benevolent source you like to think is out there).

I’ve fallen into some ruts in how I do my mornings and although I love the idea of ritual – if the ritual no longer has impact it quickly gets reduced to nothing more than a habit.

So the question becomes; Why am I doing this in a particular way? Why am I doing anything in a particular way? Am I more uncomfortable with change then I care to admit? Is there something I’m uncomfortable seeing from another perspective? Have I fallen for some illusive idea that there is safety in the status quo?

Oh – it’s probably not anything that big. But it could be that I’ve just gotten lazy and I’ve fallen into that easy unconscious place where I perform a series of tasks without being fully present.

The thing of it is – I don’t wish to live any part of my life unconsciously. I wish to be present as much as I can be and if that is true, then I want to be open to shaking things up a bit. Even if it’s simply how I do my mornings.

What happens when you get up at a different time? Sit at a different spot for your morning coffee? Take a different route to work? Take your lunch instead of eating out or simply sit some place new while you go for a break? What happens when you stop saying the same thing about a particular topic or offer a different perspective to your kid or your spouse if they ask a familiar question?

All kinds of things can shift when you make a conscious decision to be in the moment.

Are you up for a different perspective? Are you ready to see things in a new light? Are you ready to let go of some unexamined beliefs and old habits?

A few days ago I decided to shake a few things up; I am drinking my morning coffee in a new room, new chair, looking at a new view, I picked up a book that is teaching me to expand my creative side, I’m adding a bunch more recipes to my repertoire, and I started my very first Blog. Oh they may seem insignificant but after less than a week I’ve already watched my perspective shift. The key to all of this is staying present and keen to observe the new-ness.

Change happens when something changes. What would you like to change?
