Change is vital to our existing, without change nothing ever happens, we become stagnant, trapped in a little box, stuck in a deep groove..
... often we are not even aware that we are in our little box.
Just assume that you are, that way you make sure to change frequently... :-)

... and ... Create your own "check-up on yourself change list".

and .... SPEAK POSITIVE
By changing something, you will react and be different than you would have been before. Positive change helps you to grow as a person. With enough change, negative elements will be falling along the wayside.
Interestingly this also works for health improvement in a holistic way.
If you have been sick, or you have any type of health problems, by changing everything within and around you, the "sickness element", may fall by the wayside as well, meaning the causative sickness factor may not be present any more.
Cancer patients who acquire a positive mind set, will always do better than patients trapped in negativity.
