Ch-ch-changes!

Something many of us are scared of, or, if you’re like me, are good at procrastinating over.

But for whatever reason, this article title popped into my head fully orbed as I waited for the elevator a few minutes ago. So I’m going with it.

Here’s my suggestion. Before narrowing it down to One Big Thing, list your top five, or three, or seven, or whatever, with a bit of explanation about each one. Why are they on your list? How would or might your life change if you implemented them?

Then narrow it down to one if you can.

And feel free to show your thought process. You know, like in those math quizzes where you’re told to ‘show your work!’ Like that.

I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.

In fact, I’m showing you mine whether or not you show me yours. But please don’t leave me out here all by my lonesome!

Let’s start by reviewing this week’s Middle-Pause Pump-Priming Prompt: If you could–or would–make one big change in your life, what would it be?
