August 12th was a day like many of my days this summer. It was a beautiful night and I was enjoying a great tennis match. My tennis partner and I had just finished saying how well everything was going during a break for water. I was confident we would win the match, and as we stepped back onto the court to claim our victory my fate was about to take a turn. In my usual competitive nature, I chose to go for a ball that was very out of reach and in my attempt, I fell and completely shattered my left wrist. The pain was like nothing I'd ever felt and I was rushed to the hospital where I found out I would probably need surgery. It's been approximately one month since all of this happened, and this one month has felt like three.
You may be wondering..."What does this have to do with changing your mind and becoming the boss of your brain?" In a word, everything.
If you have hung out in my world for any amount of time, then you know that I talk a lot about the process of changing ourselves to become a healthier and happier version of the person we long to be. Sometimes, that change comes unexpectedly. From my life experience, I know that even when change feels unwelcomed, it is always working for us, not against us.
When change hurts, it can be a hard concept to embrace. Nevertheless, change is our friend.
It's a lot easier to stay the same. This is why, this month, I am using September as an opportunity to reflect and rebirth certain areas of my life. I invite you to join me.
