Walking past the CBD boutiques, I noticed a sign in one of the women’s fashion stores that read: “If you can’t change your mind – you are not using it.” Perhaps they were referring to their refund and exchange policy, but in this case it made me think about how we use or don’t use our minds.
“Why do we hang on to some of unhelpful thinking patterns and beliefs that no longer serve us well?”
Why are we so focused on some of our unhelpful thinking patterns – and suffering as a result – rather than working towards changing them? We are often so stuck in our own way of living, without even questioning if our circumstances could be different, that we limit ourselves with our beliefs before we even try. We might not apply for a better job because we are focusing on potential barriers, we might not end a toxic relationship because of our fear that the next one will be even worse, and so we simply continue our life the way it is.
I know that it is not easy to take steps to change your life, but at the same time you owe it to yourself, at the very least, to get up and try. Start with something small, so if it is too risky to quit your job today and to follow your dream you can still begin creating healthier boundaries. Decide that you would like to have a different, more positive relationships, or to have a better self-care routine. Start with these three steps to give yourself more flexibility and decide how you want your life to be different – or better.
