 Let's talk about embracing change You see I've got chickens in my backyard at the moment I've got about four chickens and I've been studying these chickens as they go on day to day And I couldn't help but notice that They seem to be Stuck on a set schedule. They wake up at a certain time every day They dig around the backyard looking for shit to eat every day They do this pretty much the same stuff every day. They go back to their coop at the same time every night So this positive mean I was thinking maybe these things are actually Like robots or something. Maybe they just you know, there's no consciousness there. They just Programmed But then I thought about people and people are the same if You're an alien and you're observing the human race or the average human being You would think that perhaps they were robots as well because we do much of the same stuff We wake up at the same time generally for work We get into the car. We take the same route to work we do a lot of the same shit every day and Rinse and repeat for years on end So I started thinking about why is this why do we get stuck in a lot of these habits? and of course the obvious answer is Because it saves energy if you think about doing something every single time you did it this would take up too much thinking Processing power it would take up too much energy and it would just be inconvenience much easier to automate a lot of things that are unnecessary and Leave it at that. But the problem that arises from this is that when we want to Get beyond what we have in life or we want to achieve great things or Become a better person. This becomes a hurdle this becomes something we have to overcome because we are so stuck in our habits This is why I started Practicing the art of getting out of your comfort zone embracing change Let me explain what I mean by this In order to embrace change on the macro level you need to first target the micro level Now mainstream personal development has this reverse They will have someone who is shy and reserved feel like in order to get a comfort zone Then you do something audacious then you'll be bold and confident and make a full 180 degree turn at the flip of a switch Unfortunately life does not work out like this. This is not how the real world works Changes something you have to work on. It's something that you progress on over time. It doesn't happen Instantaneously anyone that will have you believe that anything like this happens instantaneously is full of shit And they're probably trying to sell you something Now back to the topic. So the micro level. What is that? The micro level is just the small things During the day that you can do That will help you change that things that are stuck in your routine That you have been doing for years that maybe it's time for you to switch it up a bit For example, this could be driving on the same route like what we said before perhaps in order to embrace change You can try to find a different way to get to work whether it be different route or using public transport or using Taxi or something just anything right in the bike Anything that's different that's going to offer a different experience Maybe in class you sit next to the same group of people every day Every week for the past three years To change so next to someone different Someone interesting study with the smartest person in your class Study with the funniest person in class just study with someone. That's not the same as who you usually study with Or maybe at your favorite restaurant you always get the same meal Get something different It's just all these small things that seem trivial that do add up in the long term Because each time you do something that's out of your comfort zone each time you do something that you don't usually do you're building up that confidence and In the future when something big comes up when you really have to stretch yourself You will be better prepared for it because you've been doing it every day up into this point So it won't seem like such a big leap You won't be stuck in your habits and also this is a way to exercise your willpower as well The more you exercise it the better you will be at using it So always look for ways on the micro scale to embrace change Always look for new music to listen to maybe a different type of movie to watch a different type book to read Anything that challenges you to be a bit different to learn something new and I promise you you will see the difference in a couple of months.
