Big changes are going to happen consistently in our lives. And they happen whether we welcome them or not. And truthfully, change is often unwelcome. Change is incredibly scary. The unknown, the unfamiliar territory, the realizing that you don’t even know all that you don’t know. As such, recognizing we need to change can often paralyze us in the face of significant changes. Still, you know you need to make a change. And you know that if you don’t take action that things will certainly not get better on their own and you won’t become the you that you’re meant to be in this moment. In today’s episode I share a few tips on how to take action toward making needed positive changes in your life, even when you’re not ready, or even when you don’t want to.

Many times we feel change in the air, wanting for something different and new. However many times when changes are most needed, we are oblivious to the most obvious of signs, just going through the motions in our daily lives settling for unhappiness instead of making room for joy.

Every state in life requires further growth, usually in areas we can’t see. None of this growth would ever happen without change to push it along. We need to grow mentally, physically, spiritually, and in so many other ways. Learning  new ideas, exploring different cultures, and even learning more about yourself by initiating changes in your life, you can experience growth in all areas of your life. Not only do you have to accept change, but sometimes you have to seek it. If we stop changing and growing, we stop living. Let yourself grow. Let yourself become you. In part 1 of the It’s Time To Become You episode series, I talk about the benefits of change in your life and being open to letting change help you grow and become the best version of you at this moment, in this season.

You’ll find that I get on my soapbox about something or another often. Today, I am shouting from every angle of my being. Don’t lose good friends, which is so easy nowadays (with the pandemic, work, families, etc.). Good friends are not expendable. If you find a group of friends, even one friend that you know is invaluable, I implore you to do your best to stay connected. Maybe not as often as you like, but do not lose your friendships or casually think you can just reconnect later. Good friends are not handbags. You know if you have a really good friend or two, you are extremely blessed to have them. Do your best to keep them and keep them close. But of course, life sometimes has a tendency to throw lemons, curveballs, and pandemics. So what do you do when you have lost touch with your besties? In this episode, I share a few tips on rekindling your friendships after a long period of absence.  Get full show notes at: https://stayontheglow.com/shownotes  Download the free First + Fantabulous Journal PDF at https://stayontheglow.com/firstfabjournal  Join the newsletter: https://stayontheglow.com/newsletter  Support the podcast: https://anchor.fm/stayontheglow/support

There’s not much to living an intentional life, but it means everything to live intentionally. But what the heck does intentional living really mean? Intentional living is about choosing the type of person you want to be and the type of life you want to live and then holding yourself to it. Being accountable. Being responsible for your joy, not just letting it occur haphazardly or leaving it to luck. As many an athlete or successful person will tell you, talent and luck can only take you so far. If you want to get to an optimal level, you have to put in some work. Take action. Meaningful, directed, consistent, purposeful action. In this episode, Tonia discusses a few ways you can do just that. It’s time to start living an intentional life. Stop wishing and hoping, and instead, create that life you desire.
