Life's Little Lessons: Don't undermine the power of change
- I was naturally physically exhausted because of the whole packing all night thing.
- I had (conveniently) forgotten how tiring travelling is in itself.
- I had also forgotten that I would be jetlagged by virtue of travelling through not 1, not 2 but 6 time zones!
Needless to say that when I got to the luggage carel and found out that one of my bags was missing I was not pleased. It was only when I that I found that I was close to tears because of my missing luggage that I realised how bad it was. That night, for the first time in years I went to sleep at 9pm! The perpetual night owl in me (i.e. the crazy girl that sleeps at 3-4 am regardless of circumstances) has been conquered. And not a moment too soon because what with all the art classes (My intro costume production class, figure drawing, costume design 1, acting) and my other equally lovely but more mentally challenging than physically challenging classes- like intermediate microeconomics and reading shakespeare- that I'm taking this semester I'm going to need all the rest I can get.
Lesson of the tale: Change is good but usually a lot of hard work. Routines are comfortable but people are dynamic and so is life. I didn't put off packing until the last minute because I did not want my holidays routine to change. But not preparing for change did not stop it from happening and now that it has happened it has improved the person I am. Remember that you can't stay stuck in the same place forever. Therefore, realise the importance of change, embrace it and accept that it tends to involve effort on your part in order to be fully realised. Be aware of that and keep the goal in sight so it can lead you to a better place.
Love you all and Stay inspired,
P.S. So let me know think. What experiences have you undergone recently that involved a change in routine? Where you excited about the change? Did it give you instant fufillment or is it more of a long term goal? Feel free to let me know in the comments below.

I will be the first to admit that I don't deal very well with change. I prefer things to be familiar; at the same time, leaving one's comfort zone - at least sometimes - is essential! New job opportunities have left me changing my schedule quite a bit, and spending more time working. Yes, it's a change; but it's definitely worth it!! :)

I totally get that. In order to fit in my lovely art classes I had to readjust my schedule and be willing to take some risks, but like you said dearest, its totally worth it!
