\"\"<\/a>When we\u2019re young, everything is new. We\u2019ve tried no foods before. We\u2019ve played no games yet, we\u2019ve made no friends. New things and experiences are a part of our daily lives, and we welcome them with excitement and curiosity.<\/p>\n

Each new school year brings new classes, new teachers, new friends. Every day holds many lessons.<\/p>\n

As we get older, we graduate from school, we make long term friends, we discover foods we like and places we like to visit. Change becomes less and less a part of life, as routine sets in.<\/p>\n

Routine can feel secure. It\u2019s familiar, we know what to expect.<\/p>\n

But, \u201croutine\u201d is not the way the world works. The world is constantly changing. People change. You change. To stay in the same routines may mean that something that once allowed happiness, now only allows frustration. It\u2019s the same, but everything else has become different.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve become set in certain ways, a consequence is that your view on change\u2026changes.<\/p>\n

We get into a thought pattern that we like what we have, and wouldn\u2019t want to risk trying something else, in case it\u2019s worse. Well, sometimes it is worse. But sometimes it\u2019s much better. And sometimes, we don\u2019t truly like what we have, we\u2019re just used to it.<\/p>\n

Becoming as curious and comfortable with change as you were when you were a child is a major life skill. A lot of anxiety can build over, \u201cwhat if something awful happens?\u201d That anxiety can become worse than the worst awful thing that could happen.<\/p>\n
