A Change is as Good as a Rest

So goes the cliche.  And I’ve got to tell you, so far, I’m definitely seeing the wisdom in the phrase.  Being a solopreneur — heck, being a human being — it can be really easy to settle into a routine, a comfortable rhythm that feels familiar and easy.  After a while, however, that same comfortable rhythm starts to feel tiresome and lack-lustre.  Which is not comfortable at all.  These are the moments to implement a change.

Change does not have to be huge or drastic.  Change can be as simple as turning to face the opposite window, working from a different space in your office, working from a different office, altering your schedule or trying a new flavour of coffee (assuming you’re a coffee drinker!).  Even simple changes such as these can awaken a new spirit and new ideas in what might otherwise seem humdrum.

Holding a leadership role requires you to look for opportunities to mix it up once in a while.  Implementing small changes helps to keep things fresh — helps to keep your energy from stagnating.

So here’s a challenge for the rest of this week.  Everyday, find at least one thing to change.  One small thing that you can alter even just a little bit.  Go ahead; mix it up.  It’ll ensure you stay out of a rut and find your groove (which is a very different thing).
