Day 116: The Moment You Choose to Change

In November of 1991, someone showed me where a small fishing village called Cabo San Lucas was on a map.

A week later, I was on a plane with my new boyfriend, going there to find a job.

No plan.

Just a decision.

That moment when you’re willing to change, voluntarily, that’s power.

That’s clarity.

That’s alignment.

He was a good boyfriend, willing to leave everything behind and move more than 1,000 miles south of the border with me on a whim.

Most people don’t do that.

Most people wait.

They wait until staying the same becomes more painful than changing.

They wait until they feel like they have no other choice.

But there are moments when you can choose differently.

When you can decide to change before you’re forced to.

Are you willing to look at where change might be necessary in your life?

If you’re open, try this affirmation from Louise Hay:

I am willing to see how and where I need to change.

Notice what happens in your body when you read that.

Did you sit up a little straighter, like you just accepted a challenge?

Or did you feel yourself pull back?

Tighten up?

If your breath caught or your stomach dropped a little, you’re not alone.

There’s a range when it comes to how we handle change.

A personal threshold.

I moved every couple of years growing up.

Always the new kid.

New town.
New people.
New everything.

So for me, picking up and moving, even to another country, never felt like a big deal.

And I’ve always had this internal mantra:

I love change. I embrace it. Life is an adventure.

But for someone else, that same decision could feel overwhelming.

So where do you fall?

Where is your edge?

And are you willing to take one small step toward it?

Because that’s how it starts.

One step.

Small enough that you can do it.

And then another.

Each step shows you that you’re safe.

That nothing is falling apart.

And that maybe you’re capable of more than you thought.

Today’s Gentle Practice

Take a quiet moment today.

Think about an area of your life where something feels stuck.

Something you’ve been avoiding or putting off.

Then gently ask yourself:

“Am I willing to look at this differently?”

You don’t have to solve it.

Just be willing to see it.

Take a breath.

And notice what shifts when you allow that.

Don’t overthink this.

What’s one small change you know you’ve been avoiding?

Hit reply and tell me.

With you,
