Have you ever felt that pull—the desire for something to change in your life—but stopped yourself because you thought, “What if it’s not the right time?” or “What if I’m asking for too much?” Let me remind you: it’s okay to desire change. In fact, it’s not just okay—it’s necessary. Change is a natural part of life. It’s how we grow, expand, and create something new for ourselves.
But here’s the catch: change doesn’t just happen. It requires one crucial ingredient—permission. And not from anyone else, but from you. Let’s explore why it’s so important to give yourself permission to show up for the changes you’re asking for in your life and living.
The Power of Desiring Change
Desiring change doesn’t mean you’re rejecting where you are or who you’ve been. It means you’re ready to evolve. It’s a sign that something inside you is asking to grow, to stretch, and to move toward a future that feels more aligned with who you are.
Yet so often, we hesitate. We wait for the “perfect time” or for someone else to validate our dreams. We get caught up in the fear of what might go wrong or whether we’re capable of making it happen. But the truth is, the perfect time never comes. The only permission you need to embrace change is your own.
Three Steps to Embrace Change
If you’re ready to stop waiting and start creating the life you want, here are three steps to help you show up for the changes you’re asking for:
- Acknowledge Your Desires
The first step is simple but powerful: name what you want. Write it down, say it out loud, or share it with someone you trust. When you acknowledge your desires, you give them space to breathe and grow. You affirm to yourself that your dreams matter. - Visualize Your New Reality
Take a moment to imagine the change you’re seeking. How does it feel? What’s different in your day-to-day life? Visualization is more than just daydreaming—it’s a way to align your energy with the future you’re creating. It helps you step into the reality you desire before it even arrives. - Take Aligned Action
Change doesn’t happen overnight, and that’s okay. Start with one small, intentional step. Maybe it’s making a phone call, setting aside time to plan, or simply shifting your mindset. Every small action you take is a vote for the life you’re creating.
Reframing Negativity
When I catch myself getting pulled into negativity—whether it’s from the news, social media, or old patterns—I stop and ask myself:
What energy do I want to invite into my life today?
Am I choosing a reality of possibilities, colors, and richness? Or one that repeats the same old story I’ve been told is real?
This simple question has been a game-changer for me. It reminds me that I have a choice, every single day, to create something new.
