Changing Something Everyday
Most people spend their entire life keeping everything very much the same. Most people like continuity. They dress in the same style, they wear the same things, they keep wherever they live in pretty much exactly the same manner. Nothing is ever moved. Nothing is ever rearranged. From this, people feel some sort of structure in their life. They feel grounded.
But, if we look at this from another perspective, what this style of behavior also causes is for people to never evolve.
It’s easy to stay the same. It’s easy to believe what you believe, do what you do, and keep all things the same. But, from this comes stagnation. Is that who you want?
Here’s a little technique that I suggest you try every day. If you do this, you will quickly come to see the benefits.
Every day, look around where you live, and move something to a different location. This is really simple. It doesn’t have to be a couch, a refrigerator, a bed, a chest of drawers, or anything big and massive like that. Or, it can be if you want it to. But, it doesn’t have to be. It can just be something small.
Don’t plan for this. Don’t think about and plan for it as you’re lying there in bed, going to sleep, the night before. Don’t say, “Tomorrow I’m going to move that whatever.” Just let it happen. Wake up in the morning, let something catch your glance, and move it.
For me, I have a whole lot of Buddha statues all over the place. That’s one of the things that I move. I’ll notice a particular Buddha statue. It will call out to me. And, I move it somewhere else. From this, it allows the energy in the place where you live to be in a constant flow. By doing this simple task, things/energy do not become stagnant. Plus, I allowed not only the item to be free, but to find new energy. And, in fact, create new energy in your living space. It’s very simple.
The other thing that you can do to move the energy around is to change what you’re wearing. A lot of people, they wear the same pair of shoes every day. And, that’s just an example. Change your shoes. Wear a different pair of shoes every day.
Most people change the shirt they wear every day, and things like that. But, the thing that they don’t do is to mix up their style. For example, many people wear a very specific style of clothing, and they stick to that style. Certainly, I can be accused of that. As far back as I can remember, I’ve always worn long sleeve shirts and a blazer or sport coat every day of my life. Plus, I always wear tennis shoes.
The thing I’m saying here is, mix it up sometimes. Wear something different. Alter your style.
The first thing you’ll notice from doing this is the way other people will behave towards you. If you’ve worn the same style of clothing for a very long period of time, you will have noticed that everybody behaves pretty much the same towards you. But, the moment you change your clothing style, people will start to react to you differently. The people that liked the way you normally dress, may react in a more negative manner because that’s not what they’re used to you wearing. This is the same with the kind of people that will interact with you. Certain people are drawn to certain styles of clothing. They relate to the person who’s dressed the way they like to dress. Thus, you will immediately start to interact with new people that are existing on a different level of life than you normally dwell within. It’s really an interesting experiment that you will experiences the results from very quickly.
The main thing to keep in mind in all of this is that by changing, new energy enters your life. Even by moving the smallest thing where you live, things become different. By allowing things to become different, not only does the energy transform, but your perspective on what you’re looking at, what you’re doing, and ultimately what you’re feeling is allowed to evolve.
