Changing Habits - Article by Michael Dylan |
Human
beings are creatures of habit. We get into
a routine that we are comfortable with and
we stick to it unless something big comes
along and shocks us out of it. Our daily
habits often force us to put up with all
kind of degrading and destructive events,
all in the name of keeping things comfortable
or familiar. We would rather put up with
the habits we know because we can
put up with them, rather than create new
habits that we have never experienced before.
The excuses for clinging to our habits range
from almost acceptable to completely neurotic.
For example, staying in a job that you don't
like so that you can continue to pay the
mortgage and feed your family is almost
an acceptable excuse for staying at your
job. It would be just foolish to suddenly
quit and start thinking about how to pay
your bills.
But it is wrong to think that this job that
you dislike has to be it for the rest of
your life. Sure it's comfortable, you know
you can do it, but don't you owe to yourself,
your family, and your employer to get out
and do a job that is right for you?
Nothing will change if you don't change.
The first step is recognizing that change
is necessary. Secondly you have to figure
out where you would be more fulfilled in
your career. Maybe you have to do something
more creative, something outdoors in nature,
something that allows you to be in different
places, or maybe you have to be the one
making all the decisions with your own business.
When you are clear about what it is that
you really want from your career, you have
to start taking steps towards it.
A new job is not going to come running to
you just because you're unhappy with your
old one. If it's a new industry you may
have a lot to learn before even thinking
about applying for new positions. You may
have to take classes at night while you
put up with your dull job during the day.
If it's your own business that you dream
of, you may have to start from your home.
Working during the night and weekends to
move closer to doing it fulltime and leaving
your old job.
Just because we are familiar with something
is no reason to continue doing it. It's
easy to get caught up in day to day living
- especially if you have a family to take
care of - and to put off any changes that
could improve your life. Change can invoke
fear, insecurity, and feelings of loss in
people. Make the change anyway!
Life is not pausing for you while you are
putting up with something that you dislike.
Life is passing you by while you waste it
doing the wrong thing. There's no rewind
button, there's only now, and if you're
not happy with your now, Change it!
