Change of Plans

.
When I am thinking of changes, more often than not what comes to mind are changes that might be needed in my life, or even within me ~ like changes in perspectives or attitudes. Hardly ever do I think of a ‘change of plans’.

That to me is interesting as the ‘change of plans’ may well be the most common change that happens in our lives! Especially in the energy of this point in time...

These changes of plans can be as minor as suddenly deciding to take a different route home from work ~ or something like going to the supermarket now rather than tomorrow. But they can also be as drastic as booking a ‘last minute ticket’ to leave tonight for a week of sunshine in the middle of Winter.
And yet, we don’t view those changes with the same resistance we may look at changes in ourselves or in our life-style. We are more apt to find that the changes in our plans are a spontaneous expression of ourselves that can bring a bit of adventure into our lives. Making changes in our plans allows us to break free from the routine of our everyday lives...

As we get used to the fact that we can change our plans ‘midstream’ ~ and that it usually will work out for us ~ bit by bit the rest of our lives start changing.
Suddenly we permit the changes that we may have resisted for so long to come into our lives, and take effect a bit more each time we allow ourselves a ‘change of plans’.

The reason why this works is that as we get used to changing our plans ~ even ‘midstream’ or ‘last minute’ ~ we become more flexible. The things we want to do; how and when we want to do them gets to be less ‘set in concrete’. We become more willing to let the flow of things work for us rather than against our ‘set-in-concrete-plans’.
This also means that the greater our flexibility becomes, the more chances the Universe has to provide for us the things we need in our lives. Whether that is more time to spend with family or friends ~ or more money so we can finally do all those things we have wanted to do for all our lives and never had the funds to make them happen...

There is but one caveat in accepting that the ‘change of plans’ is a good thing... While we can enjoy the flexibility that ‘going with the flow’ gives us, there are things that just need to be done...
But as long as we can stay balanced, changing our plans when we feel like it, and sticking to them when we need to ~ we may find that life gets to be happier, easier, and more fun!
