I’ve been considering putting the show on pause for a few months and it feels like time to do that. I need to create space to put more time and energy into new creative ideas that I have that will really take my career to the next level. Change is scary, doing this podcast twice a week is comforting… and I know this is what needs to happen. Today we’re doing to dive into 5 reminders for changing directions.     Change is scary. Sticking to the same routines is easy. But when something deep down inside us is telling us we need to make a change, we need to do just that. It’s a calculated decision and not something we normally decide overnight but if it feels right, we must do it. 5 reminders for changing directions 1 : Trust your gut when making a change. There’s no need to worry about the past, future or what people might say about us making the change. Get present and lean into what you feel is the right thing to do.  2 : Ask for help when you need it. When considering going through change in your life or while in the process, ask for assistance from those who you think could help. We don’t need to make this a solo mission, it’s better to have people alongside us.’ 3 : Have patience in deciding. This is a case by case scenario for how long to wait before taking action but I challenge you to be calculated and thoughtful when making changes. Timing is everything.  4 : Believe in yourself. So long as you’re making the decision to make a change, it will always be the right decision because you made it. 5 : Pick up where you left off. If things don’t work out or we want to change back to where we were at previously, we can do that. If that’s not possible, that’s okay too. Now we’re on another adventure of figuring it out.      Challenge for the listeners Take 10mins in the next 24hrs and consider what changes you’ve wanted to make in your life but have yet to do so.
