Change isn’t easy but it’s certainly worth it

But the day I clicked it, there was a massive weight off my shoulders.

Less than a month into that course, I was having the time of my life and found I was genuinely happy – and thankful – that Plan A hadn’t worked out.

I’d spent two thirds of my summer stressing about this change but it turned out to be the best thing that could have happened.

If I’d just decided to embrace the change and not let the fear of the unknown take hold, I could have saved myself a whole lot of anxiety and a whole lot of stress eating.

In my experience, the more you embrace change the easier life becomes (sort of).

The first time I switched jobs, I agonised for a long time over whether I was making the right decision.

I was scared the change wasn’t going to work out for me but once I made the decision to stop giving into the fear of the unknown, I realised I was in fact more than ready and capable for the new direction in life.

Sometimes we have to face the fact that in some situations, we actually have no idea what’s good for us. Thinking that you know what’s best for yourself at all times in every aspect of your life is a control issue and girl, you need to talk to somebody about that if that sentence describes you.

Things are often scary until we say them out loud and then have less power over us.

If you can say it out loud, the change is probably more manageable than you think.

Life is there to be lived, not feared.

Take the job, book that trip you’ve always been meaning to take, eat that pizza.
