When we decide that it’s time for big changes in our lives, it is wise to ease into them by starting small. Small changes allow us to grow into a new habit and make it a permanent part of our lives. Sudden changes may cause a sense of failure that makes it difficult to continue, and then, we are more likely to revert to our old ways. If we have gone that route and find ourselves contemplating the choice to start over again, we can decide to take it slowly this time and move forward.
Sometimes, the goals we set for ourselves are merely indicators of the need for change and are useful in getting us to move in the right direction. But we may find that the change doesn’t actually suit us or make us feel the way we had hoped. By embarking on the path slowly, we have the chance to look around and consider other options as we learn and grow. We have time to examine the underlying values of the desire for change and find ways to manifest those feelings, whether it looks exactly like our initial goal or not. Taking small steps forward gives us time to adjust and find secure footing on our new path.
Life doesn’t always give us the opportunity to anticipate or prepare for a big change, and at times, we may find ourselves overwhelmed by what is in front of us. By choosing to work on one thing at a time, we focus our attention on something manageable, and eventually, we will look up to see that we have accomplished quite a bit. Forcing change is, in essence, a sign that we do not trust the universe’s wisdom. Instead, we can listen to our inner guidance and make changes at a pace that is right for us, ensuring that we do so in alignment with the rhythm of the universe.
