If you don’t like something on TV you change the channel, and if you don’t like something in your life, little or big, why not change it too? If only it could be that simple.  With a little thought, maybe it can be.

Here are some suggestions:

1. Look for a simple solution and if that is not possible, consider a variety of options and write them down.

2. Can you easily make the change all at once? Some changes are simple like moving an item that you use often to a more convenient place, or changing your morning routine or evening routine to include some physical activity, reading or meditation time.

3. Prepare for bigger changes that may take time to plan, like a job change, a move, significantly improving your health or changes that impact other people. Create “stepping-stones” to get you to your destination. If you don’t feel good about how you have been eating and want to get healthier, write down the steps necessary to get there. This may include finding healthy recipes, making a menu, making a shopping list, buying the items on the list, and preparing the meals.

4. If you don’t like something and don’t know what to do about it, consider asking someone with experience or expertise for assistance with ideas and options. Remember to also ask friends and family for support and if needed, help with carrying out your change.

Love, Health & Happiness,
