Doing the same thing day after day is
easy. Change calls for a fresh approach, new perspectives—a different
way of thinking. And it can be hard. When you need to shake up your
world a bit, try these strategies for motivating change in yourself:
• Start small. A
minor change can sometimes spur a greater transformation down the line.
If nothing else, small changes can help you get into the habit of
trying something new. Take a different route to work, talk to a
co-worker you don’t know well, or start the day with a different task.
• Focus on opportunities, not obstacles.
Change is easier when it’s connected to something important. Don’t
obsess over how difficult a new task is—concentrate on what it will help
you accomplish. Mastering a new software package may be a chore, for
instance, but it will be less painful if you remember how it will help
you work more efficiently in the future.
• Track your progress. From
time to time, take a look at how far you’ve come already in your career
and your life. You’ve changed more than you realize, and recognizing
your success will spur you on to further progress.
To your success!
