Adjustments

We have all been in situations where we have had to make adjustments in our lives, moments where we needed to stop and rethink a choice, a direction, a moment, a thought?! Adjustments help to create something that will work in your world, allowing moments to run a little more smoothly. Adjustments can be made to or with many things, adjustment does not mean change, adjustment is "a small alteration or movement made to achieve a desired fit, appearance or result".


Making adjustments to your daily activities, adjustments to your work schedule, adjustments to your diet, adjustments to your exercise....You can adjust to just about everything, or make adjustments to just about anything. Don't ever be afraid of or worry about making adjustments, they are for you in order to make your life work, to improve a situation, or just for change. You are in control, you can make any adjustment you choose, you also make the decision on whether or not that adjustment worked for you.


Things change in our lives all the time, what worked for you a year ago may not be working so well any more, make adjustments. Our diets don't really stay the same, foods that we could eat before, don't work so well in our system anymore, make adjustments. Exercises or sports we used to do become more difficult, too much effort or stress on us, make adjustments. A recipe that sounds good, but there are some ingredients you don't like or cannot eat, make adjustments.


Sometimes the adjustments are made to things or situations, and sometimes, the adjustments are a change in our own attitude or outlook toward something. Physical or mental adjustments are usually used to improve something, or to make a situation better or more acceptable. You can make all the adjustments you want, to keep your life running as smooth as possible for your self and those around you. Make the adjustments necessary to live your best life, and to be the best version of yourself in this ever changing world we live in.
