Change

Hello and welcome to our next episode of Something Needs to Change. We are actually talking about change today, love it or hate it, change is part of our lives. And in the last podshot we spoke about choices which leads us to the changes. So change can be massive or it can be understated, but it must never be underestimated because change can take us into so many different directions and into so many other situations. But some changes are just small tweaks, so they don't actually change our lives on a bigger level. Changes are made from choices and maybe you're working on something to change because it's not working for you, whatever that is, whether it's changing your role your job, changing the direction of your business, changing the dynamics within the family with you standing up and being counted.Oh, now that is a big one. How would it feel for you to take charge? How would it feel for you to be more consistent and approachable? How would it feel if someone else took the strain, so to speak? And how would it feel if you viewed the changes you want to make differently, and how you could bring them in whilst keeping your family, your role, your job, and your business? Not all change is leaving, it's cutting ties.It's not that sometimes it's staying and changing the narrative and circumstances around that change that you want to make. But most of all, change is stopping. It's stopping something that isn't working for you into something that does. Change can be just a simple of stop reacting and responding. It's very hard to do because we are humans and we react, and before we even know it, that stuff comes flying out of your mouth before you've even processed it. Because somebody's triggered something within you. Now that can bring about a change you weren't even thinking about just in a conversation. But change can be for the better, and the changes that follows turns into something even better.And when I change turns into something even better, the, the new sword, that's wonderful, but sometimes the change that follows isn't exactly what we expected, even when it's something that we may have needed. Sometimes change is a fresh start, [ change is a new perspective, change is a new way of being. So don't underestimate change, whether it's buying that cheaper tin of beans or the more expensive one [...1.0s] is still a change that you've tried thinking about making changes in your direction, in your career, say, through a takeover, that can really bring up some things for us, because we don't even know what's gonna happen. The changes have been taken out of our hands. You don't know until the company taking over actually tells you whether you've got a job, and that can change your thoughts and feelings, and in that short time, you'll be thinking about your choices because they go hand in hand.And even when the company comes through, a lot of the time, you have to re interview for the job that you're doing,] and there's no guarantee you're gonna get it. That's a massive change.So there are fears and uncertainty around change, and that has to be factored in to any choices that you're thinking of making that have a knock on effect, any changes that you want to make, that's worth thinking about before you take any steps. Make sure you've gone through all your choices and gone through each one in turn to what change may or may not happen if you take those choices.So here's a tip for you today. If you choose to accept it, of course, next time you feel you're going to react to what someone is saying, take a pause, then respondand see how much changes the conversation. Also, I'd like you to think about a time when you reacted instead of responding and how that worked out for you or not. So take care. Now think about those changes you want to make carefully, but don't put them off if, you know, in your heart of hearts, they need to be done.
