Recently i have spent time thinking about why i do things, why are my habits the way they are and why i have certain routines and why i do things. Sometimes we so easily fall into routines and habits and then never question why we began doing them or why we continue doing them.
But i have recently questioned myself… why do i do things why are my routines the way they are?
Some things are purely habit, others have had past ulterior motives which then just became routine, but now im focused on changing. I am going to be making changes in my life… some big and some small, and some things which i hope to have the courage to change, but dont know if i will. Change can be scary but its important. And knowing why you are making the changes is important as well and that keeps you motivated when you dont want to keep making the change. It takes time but the changes will be for the positive.
This week i challenge you to ask yourself, why do you do the things you do? Are there some things you can change in your life which might bring you more happiness? But also remmeber, if you cant be honest with yourself, can you really be honest to others? You have to begin with being honest to yourself and making changes for yourself and knowing that it will get easier. Dont just stick to old habits and routines because it is easy, being in your comfort zone isnt always the best thing even if it’s the easiest.
Start by being honest with yourself!
You might just realise how much you love certain things in your life and how if you no longer did something then you wouldnt be as happy or how much it would change your life for the negative… or maybe the positive? For example, i have realised how somethings in my life bring me so much happiness and are necessary for my mental and physical health and things i do because of those reasons. But things such as series watching – some might say its a waste of time, but for me it is exactly what i need after a long day in school or with lots of studying!
So… after this post, ask yourself why do you do certain things in your life and does something need to be changed?
