Do it differently.
We get in ruts. We figure out an at least satisfactory way of doing something and we persist with the method. After all it works, right? And it’s easy and simple, too.
For minor chores like taking out the trash, this may be just fine. But when it comes to things in which we have a personal stake, like relationship skills, it may leave us stagnant.
Our chosen method will work right up until it doesn’t. And then we’ll be left scrambling to figure out something else. On top of handling challenging circumstances, we’ll be facing down our own resistance as well.
When we choose to be a bit more exploratory in our actions, we become less hidebound. Our options aren’t limited by our reluctance to change. More is possible for us, and we gain handy mental and emotional flexibility as well.
Today’s message invites me to change things up a bit in my approach to life. When I can get excited about exploring my limits, I’ll find I’m vaster than I might have imagined.
Please reflect and share. What might you try to do differently?
