Change is a Good Thing.

This past week I have challenged myself to do things that are the furthest out of my comfort zone. It felt incredibly strange, and in the back of my mind I wanted to doubt myself, but I got on with it and for the first time in years I felt like I had achieved something.



When I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, I almost didn’t recognize myself. It felt like I was a different person, no longer was I the shy girl who could barely speak a single word, or so caught up in my own troubles that I couldn't smile or dare to enjoy myself. I felt different, the worries and stresses were all now broken down into manageable portions, instead of stacked up against me.

Change doesn’t happen overnight, I can fully appreciate that now, but slowly things do change and what I have to do now is welcome that change into my life.

    I need to challenge myself more often because I like you can be in my own little insecure shell at times. I'm glad life worries are becoming easier for you my sweet Alice. xxx

    Love this post, change can often be too readily seen as a bad thing but it can be really empowering.

    How wonderful to hear you doing so well and having faith in yourself - we can all be guilty of holding ourselves back sometimes, but you seem to have really turned a corner. So glad things are going well.

    This is exactly what life is about <3 I try to escape from my comfort zone every now and again. It reminds me that I can do things that would otherwise seem strange.

    Can I just say a massive thank you for the amazing comment you left me. It really really made my day and reminded me that I am probably a bit too hard on myself sometimes <3

    Good for you! It is so true that if we never change anything, nothing will change - and a little challenge is a good thing! (something I often need reminding of!)
