Time to 'SHAKE UP' yourself? NO sirrrrrrs, pardon me, I'm NOT referring to our oversized friends WHO are soon to be queueing to the gym. BUT instead, do you recall sometimes, seated in a corner, pondering endlessly ABOUT the next activity you want to get hooked to? OR next business endeavor? OR next interest? OR even flying off to your next destination? Sometimes, those restless thoughts are your life's way of nudging you toward CHANGE. BUT my question, HOW often is CHANGE forthcoming in our life???
BUT just to clear up things, CHANGE DOESN'T always have to mean LIKE packing up, moving house, relocating to a new country, quitting your job or settling halfway across the world. Sometimes [I'm tempted to exclaim 'MANY TIMES'] it is about moving those small, smaller parts and shifts that help us feel more alive, more intentional and more in tune with yourself๐๐๐
YES, we've all had those moments, that restless 3 am thoughts about switching careers or changing your domicile/residence OR even wondering if cutting your hair off will magically transform your life. On the flip side, there are the long stretches WHERE we go through the motions of on autopilot telling yourself, 'Hey, it's fine' even though deep down it DOESN'T feel fine at all๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
SO HOW? WHEN do we know when IT'S TIME TO SHAKE UP? WHEN someone asks WHY you're doing WHAT you're doing, WHETHER that's your job OR your relationship, OR even your hobbies, do we realize that sometimes [and probably many times], we tend to struggle even answering our very own questions? If we're living without a sense of direction OR intention, it might be time to pause and re-examine WHAT actually matters to us. Are we chasing that 'HAPPY' mode in futility๐๐๐
Our takeaway: WHILE the need to SHAKE UP yourself may NOT seeming as a pressing matter to take action, it behooves that we take stock of things especially if and WHEN we discern that pattern of us constantly chasing to be 'HAPPY' but never feeling fulfilled. True, there's nothing wrong with wanting joy BUT if you're only focused on staying comfortable and avoiding discomfort, you might be missing that deeper kind of satisfaction that comes from growth, challenge and connection. YES dude, true fulfillment often involves a mix of UPs and DOWNs instead of a constant high. TIME TO SHAKE UP YOURSELF???
