From the Founder, June 2016
This month, even more than usual, I’m in action mode. Challenging the status quo, questioning why things are the way they are and if they can be better, and getting comfortable with the idea of change.
Being the control freak that I am, and the fact that in some ways I like the comforts of consistency and predictability, this is pushing me outside of my comfort zone.
That said, the only way we can progress and change is when we’re outside of our comfort zone. It’s necessary and over time, we learn that the discomfort is something to embrace, knowing something good (positive, productive change) is on the other side.
A few interesting pieces about embracing change:
How to Be Successful by Embracing Change, Entrepreneur
Eight Lessons from 22 Female Leaders on Embracing Change, Women’s Agenda
Eight Things Every Person Should Do Before 8 A.M., Medium
Also, for me, when change is in the air, rituals are a valuable way to stay grounded and enable the change to flow…a few of my favorites include meditation, quality time with Bernard (the dog), yoga, beach runs, lemon water (every morning first thing!) and hot baths with Himalayan sea salt before bed.
Wishing you all an abundance of positive change in your lives in 2016!
