Rec | THE PASSAGE OF TIME ALONG WITH CHANGE

😃

Rec'd on ✂️ how do you change yourself?

something ive found over the course of the past year and a half is that personal change is completely unnoticed until you look at yourself and compare how you were in the past compared to now. every moment we are changing and that is the beauty of life. every conversation, every thought, and every action we have in our world is contributing to a personal change in the self. its a simple thought, that change happens over time, but a thought that we as humans often dont want to consider. its a hard thing to be aware of. that a personal journey takes a lifetime. if we could make major improvements on ourselves in one night we all would, but unfortunutely change involves millions of small, mostly unnoticed, steps that contribute to a prosperous life, whatever that means to you. some steps are bigger than others, for example quitting unhealthy habits, or cutting toxic people out of your life as much as you can, but most of it is a combination of living life and seeing things through all of the lenses. this is at least what i have learned through the start of my life and how i see change. is it possible to see change? of course. is it likely that most change will go unnoticed and only realized far later? yes.

Think long term

lots of great responses in this thread! just wanted to say that true change takes so much longer than we expect it to. I started on a journey of “changing my life” and my attitude towards it back in 2020, and its only now in 2024 that I’m starting to see major changes that I can trace back to that original decision to improve my life. Sure, there’s been lots of rewarding little milestones along the way, but the big things take time. The lesson is, don’t be hard on yourself if you make changes but your life isn’t tangibly improved next month. Make changes for your long-term future self :)

Depends on what it is

Typically it boils down to forming habits you aspire to have. Which is infinitely more difficult than it sounds unfortunately. Especially if you aren’t already aware of what causes what you don’t like about yourself. That takes therapy and introspection. Just remember that at the end of the day change can’t happen over night, or at least the change that counts. Give yourself grace and time to evolve, because at the end of the day thats what life’s journey is all about.

it creeps up on you

i think settling into your life is a feeling that creeps up on you. as someone who struggles with being present, i need to constantly practise gratitude or even my dream life kinda passes me by. i think it's human nature to be constantly looking for the next best thing, but it takes a lot of awareness to realize you've already made it on so many facets. thinking about my younger self and the pride they'd feel looking at present me is grounding and brings me lots of perspective.
