Be Ready For Change When It Comes

There is little room in most people's lives for change.  Most people by nature like to settle into a comfortable pattern of existence. Change however is in the grand scheme of things and is a daily occurrence.  Without change, our life can take on a monotony that stifles growth and hampers our ability to adapt later.

Aging in fact happens as atrophy sets in to once vibrant cells of the body, and though we have not yet figured out how to reverse the process, there are many who have slowed it down substantially and it is always by renewing the body's ability to adapt and by changing things up from time to time, or even daily.

In the book and movie, What the Bleep do We know? Dr. Joe Dispenza talks about how habits in life are formed by hardening neural pathways, which has the further effect in the long run of deadening the body's ability to form new neural pathways.  To combat this stifling stagnation of growth, we should endeavor to override the body's mechanism for forming habits by changing each day, the way we do things.  Whether it be holding the toothbrush with a different hand, or taking a different path to work in the morning, it keeps the senses alert and keeps the body from hardening certain response patterns to the same outside stimulus.

There is great wisdom in always being ready for change, as most of us found on 9/11/01 and while many people actually reverted back into old patterns once the smoke had settled, many more found themselves changed forever, most in a good way.

Change is rarely comfortable, but in most cases, if we are ready for it, can be full of lessons to prepare us for more and greater change, thus strengthening us for life ahead.  Our readiness for change and our adaptability to life's little annoyances can greatly affect both the length and the quality of our lives, improving both.  Are you accepting little changes in your life or are you completely resistant to them.  They are the very things that help us be ready for the big life changing events that most certainly will come our way.
