“A change is as good as a rest,” they say, along with the definition of insanity being doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
So there's something there, isn't there, about doing new things, that makes sense.
You know what I think the reason for that is?
It's because it taps into the formless energy of life, which is where all new things have to come from.
It directs us away from existing, habitual, mind-based patterns of behaviour and ‘gets the juices flowing’.
And I think that's always a good thing.
Just the other morning, sorting a pile of clothes together to take downstairs I found myself putting them all inside a zip-top hoodie and tying them up with the arms, in a neat little bundle.
In 50-something years of my life, I've not done that before (can you imagine)?!
It may sound like such a silly little thing (because it is), but I stood there, grinning to myself, having ever-so briefly tapped into that energy source we call wisdom, spirit, soul, god, grace, intuition, creation, presence, universal mind, innate health (I could go on)… and something shifted, as a result.
I'd reconnected to it. Remembered it! Got my own evidence for it, in this really little way, and the rest of the day saw me creative, productive and buoyant.
And I think that's all that's required, to get unstuck. We don't need to throw caution to the wind and completely upend our lives, we just need to touch that space of change in whatever small way makes sense, in that moment.
Get the juices flowing and see what happens.
So what are you going to do differently, today?

p.s. you can't use my patented clothes-bundling technique as yours – by definition, it has to be something new! 😆
