For global design class blog about a change that happened in your life that you hated at first, but later realized the change was good. Complete by Friday April 16th.
One of the changes that started off difficult, was quiting smoking. It has been 15 months and I am so grateful now that I quit. When I first quit, I would find myself digging in my purse for smokes or for a lighter, not even realizing I was doing it.I would have dreams that I had a cig and would wake up mad at myself not realizing that it was just a dream. I much calmer than I was as a smoker, for I do not have that urgency to get outside and smoke. It was so challenging at first, that I never want to quit again, which is why I have not smoked even one. It is one of the most difficult things that I have done. I still think about it to this day and many say that I always will. One phrase that I said over and over again to myself was that, "Your utuerus is filling up with smoke every time you take a drag." I was also pregnant and feel that I may not have been able to quit it I wasn't. I am so grateful that I quit and encourage others to do so, before they are pregnant. My wallet also apperciates this change.
I had lost my job as a handbags and accessories sales associate and the change came as a shock to me because I thought I loved handbags and accessories so much that I would, could, and should never lose this job! But now that it happened, I realize how miserable I was on a daily basis because I just wanted to go back to school and finish my bachelors degree in Interior Design. I met some amazing people at my old job, and was ill prepared to say good bye to them, but realize now, it was the best thing that happened to me. I don't miss the job, but I do miss the people. I realized going through this separation from organization helped prepare me for the next time I have to say goodbye, and to not give up even when the tide is not moving, it helped me find other sources of growth and change from within.
