We are creatures of routine.  Doing the same thing at the same time with the same people on the same days makes life easier for most people.  Typically when you ask people to disrupt their pattern problems arise.  Why is it that some people are so resistant to change?  Why don’t people want to venture out of their normal routines? There could be a multitude of reasons why we don’t like to change but change is very necessary to stay on top of what is going on around us.  Of course there are a few things that never change like the rising and setting of the sun, the seasons, etc but, change is constant.  When we fail to embrace change when it’s necessary we can make things harder on ourselves.  When someone insists on spending a significant amount of time with people who have shown that they mean them no good they are damaging themselves because they don’t want to change.  When a person refuses to change their diet and physical activity even though it has been identified as the root cause of their health problems they are damaging themselves.  If we refuse to change when it’s necessary we are taking part in  self sabotaging behavior.  Initially change can be hard but in the final analysis it’s definitely worth it. Identify some areas that change would benefit you, put a plan together, find some accountability partners and get on the road to a new you. That’ our 2 cents on the matter.
