Don’t Have the Same Ol’ Same Ol’

from Clipart,com

Some of us love change, but it probably makes most people feel uncomfortable. However, when things are always as they’ve always been, it’s easy to get into ruts with the same ideas, the same attitudes, the same old thoughts, the same old conversations.

It’s a small thing in life to change, but think about rearranging the furniture in your house. Even if it’s just switching places between a sofa and a chair, that’s a tiny bit of change.

Maybe put different pillows on the sofa or bed. Have different colors of sheets on the bed for different times of year.

Think about switching around the way you serve meals or use different dishes for different times of year. They don’t have to be expensive and you could easily find some at 2nd hand stores or discount places.

The point is to liven things up and create enough change that everything is not always as it has been. Small changes like this add fun without feeling like it’s an overwhelming change that thwarts your existence.

Try it.

What do you think? How can you institute changes that will seem like a welcome difference?
