We change all the time. Sometimes we are talking about small changes, sometimes about big ones.
Most of the time, though, we don't experience a huge revolution that can disrupt everything at once.
That can happen, of course, but not that many times in a lifetime. Even if we are all experiencing one of those right now.
And yet, most of the time we change a little bit every day. Drip by drip, one thought at the time, one action at the time, one book at the time, one interaction at the time.
[A little bit forgetful about how you've changed?
Here's a new habit for you]
And we tend to forget how we were. How far we've come so far. How much we have changed.
An effective habit for realizing how much we have changed is getting used to looking again at something after a long time: reading a book a second time, watching again a movie from our youth, listening to a song after years, talking to someone we didn't have contact with lately.
More often than not, we will feel something different and new about these experiences, even if they stayed the same. Because we are different and we will be looking at them with new eyes. And that's a good reminder. And a new habit to be cultivated.
Coaching question of the day:
"What can you rediscover today with new eyes?"
