2964 Change is Not the Enemy

Change is a constant; it's inevitable in life. Why cling to the familiar routines, relationships, and situations especially if you're unhappy? Be cautious of your comfort zone. Change is not the enemy. Carol Dweck, a renowned psychologist, said, "The view you adopt for yourself profoundly affects the way you lead your life." Desire to be supported and encouraged by other like-minded women? Join us at https://createyournow.mn.co. https://createyournow.mn.co Her research on mindset shows that people who embrace a growth mindset, believing that their abilities and intelligence can be developed, are more likely to take on challenges, learn from failures, and achieve their goals. However, in contrast, when you have a fixed mindset, then you believe that your qualities are set in stone, may avoid challenges, give up easily, and feel threatened by criticism or setbacks. Dweck's insights apply to the domain of change because they suggest that our beliefs about ourselves and our capacities can shape our willingness to adapt to new circumstances. If you see yourself as capable of learning and evolving, you may approach change as an opportunity to grow rather than a threat to your identity. You might also be more resilient in the face of setbacks or rejection, recognizing that they are not a reflection of your worth or potential. Similarly, Brene Brown, a researcher on vulnerability and courage, said, "Vulnerability is not weakness; it's our greatest measure of courage." Brown's work emphasizes the importance of embracing vulnerability, which she defines as the willingness to expose oneself to uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure. She argues that vulnerability is essential for developing authentic connections with others, for fostering creativity and innovation, and for living a fulfilling life. When you think of change, Brown's message is relevant because it suggests that we must be willing to let go of our defenses and open ourselves to the unknown. We must accept that change involves a degree of uncertainty and discomfort, but also an opportunity for growth and transformation. By embracing vulnerability, we may find the courage to pursue new paths, connect with new people, and express our true selves. How do you overcome what doesn't work? How do you get out of the traps of routines and comfort zones that constantly drive you toward what you are wanting to avoid? Yes, you feel okay because you know what's going to happen, even if you don't like it.  But at some point, you have to say, "Enough is enough!" There's a time for everything and a season for every activity under the heavens.. (Ecclesiastes 3:1) The K.I.S.S. ~ There's a time for everything! This verse acknowledges the cyclical nature of life, with its ups and downs, joys and sorrows. It reminds us that change is a natural and necessary part of the journey, and that every phase has its purpose and meaning.
- Make adjustments. You don't have to change everything to make a change. Little tweaks here and there can change your direction. Think about riding in a canoe. By putting your paddle in the water on one side and pushing the water to the top of the canoe, you begin to slow down if you were moving forward.
- Renew your mind. Romans 12:2 says, "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing, and perfect will." You don't want to be complacent and conform to only what society has to show you. Seek the renewal of your mind so you can continually refresh and rejuvenate the heart, drawing closer to God.
- Host a party. Now, I don't mean literally. But when you are ready to take a different path, then celebrate it. Shout it in the hallways of your home. Put it on the locked screen of your phone. Tell your family and friends who will support you.
Change is a natural and necessary part of life that can create growth, courage, and transformation. When you see what's possible on the other side of change, it doesn't appear all that scary. In fact, it's more possible than probable. As Tony Robbins, a motivational speaker, said, "Change is inevitable. Progress is optional." The choice is yours. PRAYER: May you renew your mind with the gifts given to you by God, and be willing to stretch your weaknesses to the point of growth. There's nothing to scary when you walk by faith. "Be present.
