Embracing Change: The Transformative Power of Making One Small Change

Stuck in a Rut? You’re Not Alone

Have you ever felt trapped, saying no to new opportunities and sticking to the comfort of routine? I’ve been there.

Not too long ago, I found myself clinging to my habits—even with something as small as my nail polish choices. The day I finally decided to break free from this routine became a turning point in my life. That simple act of switching up my nail color set off a cascade of unexpected, positive changes.

The Comfort of the Familiar

For years, I only wore two shades on my nails: a classic French manicure or the deep, nearly-black OPI shade, Lincoln Park After Dark (much to my mom’s ongoing confusion!). I’d become a creature of habit, choosing what was safe, familiar, and predictable. Stepping out of this comfort zone felt surprisingly difficult, but I knew I needed to shake things up.

When I visited my favorite nail artist of over 15 years, I announced my intention to change my nail color with every visit. She was skeptical at first, but I felt ready. Little did I know, this tiny act of rebellion against my routine would soon empower me to take on bigger challenges.

A Catalyst for Change

Changing my nail polish color turned into a symbol of my willingness to step into the unknown. It was a message to myself: if I could break free from a small habit, I could break free from other comfort zones and limiting beliefs in my life. It was a reminder that I was capable of handling change and thriving in unfamiliar territory.

This newfound courage didn’t stop at my nails. I found myself saying “yes” to more opportunities, including sharing this very message in a video format—a medium that had always made me hesitate. Just like changing my nail color, sharing my story through video was another step toward personal growth.

Finding Your Own “Nail Polish Color”

I’m sharing this story in the hope that it resonates with those of you who might be clinging to your own version of a “nail polish color”—a habit, belief, or routine that feels safe but keeps you from growing. My journey is a reminder that small changes can lead to powerful transformations.

So, here’s to taking that leap, making the first change, and setting off a snowball effect of personal evolution. Let this be an encouragement to break free from self-imposed limitations and start doing things you never thought possible.
