Reshuffle life

When life does not go according to plan, something needs to change. It is time to reshuffle our lives. Similar to an object that we would repurpose, or a task we would restructure. Stop doing what is being done and amend the course of actions by doing something totally different, even contrary to what is being done altogether. Be drastic.

Running out of time? Free time to gain time. Remove any time waster that does not serve you right. If you work 6 days a week, try working 3 days a week only. 

If you are lethargic, tired, passive, and want to do a siesta, go for a walk or a jog in nature instead. You will feel more energised by the end of the walk or jog and yet feel ‘fresher’.

Change can be good. It is unsettling at the beginning as everything is new territory. It is difficult and it can even be daunting. But after all, how can one expect a different outcome by doing the same thing over and over? Change can become a new routine.

Too often, we are acting by pure habit, not realising that it is against the flow. We are so ingrained in the habit and feel comfortable because of its ritual, that we do not even see that nothing is smooth or right.

When does doing something differently realign with the flow? Difficult to know. It is a bit like when to learn when an opportunity is a good one or not.  We do not know until we have taken all the opportunities and started to know what feels right or not.  Breaking a habit to see what it does to us, is the same. One starting point could be looking at nature, and traveling to broaden the horizon. When does it feel better? It is a slow process. Small steps at a time. Experiment with something new every day, every week, and slowly after a while new becomes comfort.
