Easy Change Strategies (8)

Hi again!
While some of the strategies mentioned can be offered to other people it needs to be clear:

The only person we can change is.....US!

To be honest, I sometimes forget that too and then I usually get into trouble. One can of course offer change strategies to others, I hope!
So let's journey on. My eight's posting and I have already passed the 3 week period it supposedly takes to change a habit. Well, I wonder if I have changed into a blogger?

One of the hardest "easy change strategies" is the STRETCH. By that I mean you do something that is out of your comfort zone.
Like, two weeks ago I did go soaring for the first time. To fly in the air without a motor was absolutely wonderful! Did I have to go out of my comfort zone? Well, yes somewhat. I had to trust a young man who looked like he could be my grandson. And I had to trust a plane that literally had "band-aid" keeping some of the "skin" on the plane, was rusty and old too. But it flew like a bird!
Was that a stretch? No. I was doing something I had never done before and trusted someone I didn't know. But really "I wanted it". If you want to feel free, try soaring!

If you want to try something different. Volunteer! I once volunteered to assist with a concert. A board member was to be picked up and I had to help get her to where she needed to be. Who do I wind up waiting with for his wife......Cab Calloway! That was a thrill. He did flash that signature smile of his and we had a brief chat. So surprise yourself and see where you can do some good and perhaps life will have a surprise for you as well!
Let me know what happened.
