Sometimes it seems like nothing works the way it should. If you’re a human, you have probably hit that point where work is no fun, relationship is a struggle and you don’t even feel comfortable in your body.
At times like these, changing your life can seem overwhelming. There’s so much to do…where do you even start?
It’s quite simple, really…just change ONE thing.
- Read a magazine you wouldn’t normally consider picking up.
- Try a new type of restaurant.
- Take a different route to work.
Any simple change of routine can shift your perspective, and has the potential to drastically transform your life.
It’s like a ship at sea…if it changes course even one degree, 100 miles later it’s in completely new waters.
Of course, the most profound shifts are the ones you make on the inside. Annoyance can easily be turned into fascination. Frustration can be flipped to become gratitude. Even anger can be transformed if you simply turn it into a song.
You don’t have to tackle the whole enchilada, just make one simple shift.
And the best part is…it’s all experimentation. If you don’t like your new perspective, you can always go back to your old one.
What “one-degree” shift can YOU make TODAY?
This advice is perfect for springtime with new beginnings. Thanks for the message filled with hope, Ruth. I think my one-degree-change is going to be adding some morning stretches to my morning routine. I’ll be curious what your change is.
Thanks for the reply.
Actually, I made my change a couple of weeks ago. I started intentionally thanking God for a new day every morning. It wasn’t a daily activity, more hit or miss. Now it’s consistent.
