Trust in your Decision to Change

Ibelieve that we tend to become complacent in our routines. Putting trust in ourselves to make a necessary change in our lives can be difficult. Even when we aren’t feeling accomplished or incredibly happy, it’s easier to remain static in our day to day routines than to initiate a change. Finding supports, strength and self-resiliency is life changing, and necessary on the journey to true happiness.

Staying within a comfort zone can be nice, but only it satisfies the desire to be accomplished, to succeed, and to be happy. When these feelings fade, change is imminent – and quite likely necessary.

Ifound myself needing to make a decision in my own career. I was successful and happy, but felt the winds of change. I began the search for something new, and was blessed to find what I was looking for at the very time I was looking.

However, with that change came unexpected fear, unrest and insecurities. Initially, I was surprised to feel these emotions because I had assumed that the excitement and happiness of new opportunity would overtake any other emotions. When I allowed the realism of the situation to settle in, it made a lot of sense. I had made a large change in my life routine and it would take time and patience to get used to a ‘new normal’.

I think it is important to remember that with change, whether it is imposed or chosen, to give yourself grace. Give yourself time and be patient as new routines settle into place.

Being content and happy with my decision to be in control of this new destiny helped me build a foundation in my new surroundings. Looking beyond the anxiety of the ‘what if’s’ and the ‘maybe I shouldn’t have’s’, and remembering that the happiness that glows from within me as I worked towards being the best version of myself in this new role is what kept me focused and certain that … yes, change is good.

Trust in yourself, trust the process, and trust your decision to make the change.
