💪🏽 When to Lean In to Change and Make It Work for You

Lean into change

Change can be hard.
We’ve all tried to fight it, avoid it, or control it. And if we’re being honest, we’ve probably all lost that fight more than once.

But here’s the thing:
Change doesn’t have to be your enemy.
In fact, it can become one of your greatest allies — if you shift how you relate to it.


3 Ways to Work With Change Instead of Against It

Lean into it.
It might feel awkward at first, but just like starting a new workout, you get stronger with repetition.

Accept it.
You don’t have to like the change, but trying to deny it is like yelling at the rain on your vacation. It’s happening either way.

Embrace it.
When you stop resisting, change stops being a threat and starts becoming an opportunity.


Real Life Example (That Might Sound Familiar)

Let’s say your child changes schools, and now everyone’s up 30 minutes earlier.

❌ Do you write an angry letter to the school board?
❌ Or pretend it’s not happening and hit snooze until chaos starts?

Or…

✅ Do you notice that you now have 30 extra minutes to yourself in the morning — to stretch, to move, to breathe — and claim it as time for you?

That’s the kind of shift we’re talking about.
Same circumstance. Different mindset. Very different outcome.


You Don’t Have to Love It — You Just Have to Move With It

Sometimes you’re the one initiating the change — starting a new routine, leaving an old habit, or deciding to train more consistently.

In those moments, the discomfort you feel isn’t a warning sign. It’s just a natural part of growth.

If your desire for something better is stronger than your desire to stay stuck, that’s enough to move forward.


The Takeaway: Say Yes, Even If You’re Not Sure

Leaning in to change doesn’t mean you love every minute.
It just means you’re willing to try — and trust that discomfort is part of building something better.

And hey, if this change doesn’t feel great?

Don’t worry.
It’ll change again anyway. 🤪

it’s not just working out, it’s building a foundation for a better life.
