Personal experience: Making new friends and meeting strangers aren’t as scary as we thought to be!

Scenario 2:

Always in a rush early in the morning coupled with crying, unsettled kids throwing tantrums, etc.

Proactive: Wake up slightly earlier or prepare the things ahead the night before.

Impact: Unhurried morning routine and happy self + happy kids

Personal experience: Totally impressed how waking up 15 minutes earlier can make my day so much more pleasant and improves my morning routine with my kids; totally stress-free!

Scenario 3:

Unhappy with working condition, salary, job scope, etc.

Proactive: Change a new job, learn a new skill or go back to school to retrain and upgrade your skills.

Impact: A career change, a lifestyle transformed

Personal experience: There are more pros than cons in making changes in a career change when there’s nothing much you can improve current work condition. Weigh the calculated risk well against the pros; garner the support you need to move on and persevere.

There are many more such scenarios where we can make those little changes and create impact in our day if not our life!
