If you change nothing, nothing will change

So a new year always calls for changes. Changes that will be hard to keep. 
Change is just hard.


...why is that? 


Even when we know the current path we are on is not in our best interest we press on to avoid dealing with all the changes that ensue afterwards.

Follow through is rough.
Consistency is fleeting.
Turning back (not continuing) is our first default setting.


It is odd that this post stemmed from making some cute changes on my blog page.  Changing the format, the background, the fonts.  It was fun choosing all the new images and colors.  I was thinking to myself, "Change is always needed." 


So then why can't I completely change my eating habits?  No more junk. Less Processed foods.
Why can't I change my sedentary choices to active ones?  I mean really, is taking a walk that difficult?
WHY CAN'T I CHANGE WITHOUT HAVING TO TURN BACK?


I guess I answered my own question.  Change itself is not hard.  Change is always needed, is fun to think about, and easy to get started.

...It's the follow through that is hard.  Follow through takes time, energy, and patience.

Perhaps this is what I should focus on accomplishing. 
Not focusing on the change itself, but focus on the follow through of the changes that need to happen.
