Embracing Change: The Exciting Rollercoaster of Life?

Change is scary. It’s like that moment when you’re standing in line for a rollercoaster, and you suddenly realize you’ve made a terrible mistake. You know, the kind of mistake that makes you question all your life choices. But here’s the kicker: change is going to happen whether we like it or not. So, we might as well buckle up and enjoy the ride!

My kids 6 years ago helping to build out the first official COREFIT location. 6 years later, doing it again for our bigger and better (and maybe last) location! They've changed for sure, but that's the goal right? One thing that hasn't changed... one is focused and helping, the other is playing around. Some things never change 😉.

The Uninvited Guest: Change

You are aging whether you like it or not. Change is happening. Your family is aging right along with you. Whether you are entering an empty nest phase or just realizing your kids don't need you as much, there is a shift happening.

How do you handle Change? Does it stress you out and make you sad? Does it excite you for what's to come? Or are you somewhere in the middle and not sure how to react?🤔

Here are 3 tried and true tools to make CHANGE EXCITING and help you control the narrative:

Accept It: Acknowledge that change is part of life. It’s like that friend who always shows up late but gives the best hugs. You can't be mad at them for long. Their time schedule (or lack of) is out of your control so ACCEPT it. You are going to get older, ACCEPT it. What other things can you stop wasting your time on and simply accept and move on (enter Mel Robbins Let Them Theory here).
Get Curious: Instead of fearing the unknown, lean into it. What can you learn from this change? What new adventures await?
Take Action: Whether it’s a small step or a giant leap, do something! Even if it’s just going for walk today, take a step forward. Movement will almost always calm your mind and you'll feel better for it. Prove me wrong. Make a plan for what you want or who you want to be in 1, 5 or 10 years. Take ACTION and move one step towards it.

Progress: The Sweet Reward🎯

Change is the gateway to progress. If we’re not progressing, what’s the point? It’s like trying to watch a movie on fast forward—you miss all the good parts! As Ferris Bueller wisely said, ““Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” So, let’s embrace change for the Progress that it can bring. Future travel, new career, strongest body and mind...

The Adventure Awaits🎢

Change is scary, hence the comfort zone we all enjoy.

The next time Change knocks on your door, invite it in, offer it a snack, and get ready for the adventure. Remember, life is too short to sit on the sidelines. Buckle up, take control, and enjoy the ride! Who knows? You might just find that the rollercoaster of life is the most exhilarating experience you’ve ever had!

To quote Ferris one more time: “The question isn’t ‘what are we going to do’, the question is ‘what aren’t we going to do?"
