I hate changes

I'm not the easiest person when it comes to adapting, especially with certain things. I really hate how they creep up and change things, I'm sure i'm not only one who finds certain changes a big leap. Sitting in a home of my own, while it appears that I'm losing connection to my family really sucks, especially when I know I'm not.
After reading a message I was sent on another site, It made me realize that I've lost the fun things in my life.
I've gotten so busy running around in my own world, It just sucks when I can't spend time doing everything I'd like to. So, I thought I'd make a change because I know feeling like this isn't healty. I'm planning to ask my wife if we can spend more time doing things like taking my son to the park, go to another city near us and just unwind. We get so busy, it feels like lifes a cage.
How you going to make changes this year? do you hate changes?

I think changes are a part and parcel of everyone,s life.I think as you said everyone would benefit,if one were to connect with his loved ones.
Yes this present world tends to drag you out with its sudden changes and one would feel lost.But staying calm and connecting one to ones innerself helps you accomodate to those changes.
As everyone says,you gotta learn to adapt,but youhave to take it at a pace you re comfortable with
Enjoy.Chill

Makes sense.
It's just a normal part in busy life, it'll soon change because we tend to forget about things once something comes on our thoughts and those before go further back.

Changes can be for better or worse - some say it is just a matter of perspectives - how you look at things.
So what someone optimistic would suggest is that you look at the brighter side of things.
Smile, embrace the change and try to see how you can use it to further better your life. =)

I know how you feel! I am working two jobs and I don't have time for anything. I barely see my daughter. I was trying to take her to the Aviary to see the birds this week but my husband doesn't want the rest of my family to go and I've already asked them. My grandma was really looking forward to it. Anyways, yes I would like todo more things with my family and I am also trying to change my lifestyle to become more active, you know exercise more and eat better. The eating better is going well and I try to use my exercise bike everyday but it is hard to keep up with.

Hi Joey,
I am the same way. I hate change as well. But once the change takes place and I accept it, it isn't too bad at all. I think the trick is to be open minded and welcome all changes regardless of how hard it might be for us to accept them at first.

I am looking to change a lot this year. We got our house at the end of 2007, and this year I want to change a lot of things in my personal life. Sometimes change is necessary. Especially when we realize that what we are currently doing is not working out the way we had planned.

Life is always changing, sometimes you just have to go with the flow. But you are right about not letting change, change who you are and what is important to you. Thats a wonderful idea about going to the park, doing things with the family. As you go thru life family is everything. Cherish your family, hold on to them. Take care Joey.

Well as you know my good friend, I made a major change last October when I escaped my abusive ex! Living somewhere else, hell you know that too having moved yourself, that take a lot of getting used to! The biggest change was obviously not being able to go to my gym that I loved, I used to go 5 times a week now I don't go at all, I must join a new gym this year but I miss my friends I made in the gym and it was a great family run gym too. Life was a cage to me being in a relationship but now I am free and single and finding the transition strange as I come to terms with my newfound freedom!

Hi Joey. You have made a great observation. Go ahead and do the things that you really want to do. That is where much happiness can be found. Do not resist change when it comes to becoming the person you want to be. Doing the things you want to do will require changing old habits and taking some risks. For the most part, you will look back and see that it was worth it. For sure, I want to make many changes this year and for many more years. There is no reason to hate changes because in the longer run, they can lead to great things and a great life. Staying in our comfort zones can lead to regret and misery because we didn't risk taking on new things and adventures.

What you decide to do is a great decision and surely your son would be very happy spending time you and just enjoying.

I actually quite like changes as although I like routine to keep me grounded I find that it makes life a bit boring and stale so a change is as good as a rest so the saying goes. Of course, as is my fickle nature, I only like good changes or those I am in control of but I am learning to accept and embrace unexpected changes in my life and gain something positive.
As for changes this year I am aiming to step up a gear with my little online shop and try to change my very bad habit of putting things off.
Oh, and I might change my name by getting married.

I actually love change- life gets too boring and comfortable sometimes. Sometimes change can set off a new challenge in life that we could grow from as people. Basically, you have to live every single day until its over. It goes by too fast and surely you don't want to have any regrets about things that you should have done..Change it up and keep it fresh!
