I am going through a funk. And, it is not a quick funk, either. Thinking back, it has lasted about 6 weeks now. I am working very hard to get out of it. Trying to figure out what has caused it has made me realize all the change these last few months have brought on.

Change and I do not go hand-in-hand very well. I have always fought hard to have things stay the same, yet they always seem to change anyway. My whole life, my dad has mentioned that “We all know, Jen hates change”. Yet, looking back, whenever change DID happen, things always seemed to get better in the long run. So….shouldn’t I look at CHANGE as a good thing? Yes, one would think so.

In the past two months, I have….

*taken on a part-time job (which was pretty big for me!)

*Decided to move my massage office-the first one fell through, but I found an even better one in the same great building.

*decided to get my bridge replaced, only to have them tell me the day of the procedure that they couldn’t do it bc of my gum recession. I may need to get a gum graft-still waiting to hear on that lovely news.

Now, these things may not sound like much, but to me they are pretty big. They all consist of change. It is hard, but, looking closely at it, it is all change for the better!

*Getting this part-time job has given me one more thing to do every week. It has introduced me to 8 more people who I really like and have things in common with. Even bonding with just one person makes it all worthwhile. I have a new friend, and feel our friendship is blossoming more every day. Getting another paycheck is sure nice, too!

*I have been at my office complex for over 7 years, and it is time to move on. As excited as I was about my first new space, having it fall through was great! I found an even better deal for me, with other like-minded therapists who want us all to grow our practices together. this is something I have needed to find for a while. I know I was guided to them (being in the right place at the right time), and have never looked back.

*Having to wait on my teeth is reminding me that I should just “know” it will all work out eventually. I wanted it “right now”, and was very sad when it couldn’t happen that way. It was a big decision for me to go ahead with it, so then having to wait was hard to deal with. It has made me focus on other things this week, so I don’t have to acknowledge the frustration I feel towards it. However, it is making me focus on other, more important things, which is good. It will all work out in the end.

All of my change is still in progress. I am really ready for it to be all done, so I can get used to the new ways of it all. I know that in 6 months from now, my life will all be much better because of all this change. I will have a new office, new teeth, new friends.  Being able to visualize the end really helps it happen faster for me. Which is the whole reason I am writing this blog. visualization. It REALLY WORKS!!

Yet, then I realize that once all this change has happened, it will most likely be time for MORE change to occur. Because change in one area brings on change in another. And, it is always for the best, whether you realize it or not!

So, here is to the never ending change that occurs in our lives! May it all bring on even better circumstances for us!
