Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need some aicvde from an established blog. Is it hard to set up your own blog? I’m not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty fast. I’m thinking about setting up my own but I’m not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions? Thank you

Let me see – major changes in my life: marriage, divorce, layoff, emigration, job change through choice, remarriage, children etc.
All these change points have required that I let go of something (volutarily or involuntarily)… a job, the single life, a spouse, a country … and create something different. The old daily script is not an option – the past is not available as it will never be “that way again”. At these points perhaps I am more open and not yet buried in the “new state” whatever that will be. (Maybe links to Bridges work on transistion and the “neutral zone”)
And it does not seem to be always about “bad things” – good, self selected changes e.g. marriage can create the same openess if I’m willing to notice it in myself. H’mmmmm…
P.S. I love the Marmite and the chicken flavours

“The students who chose the unusual chips were also more likely to be experiencing lots of change at the moment.”

Maybe students who like unusual things are more likely to change things in their lives, or more likely to recall changes.

Doesn’t seem counterintuitive at all that when faced with life turning bad, people might re-examine all of the choices they make to try to figure out how to turn things around. I think students make a poor subject base for this research, however, because being a student is inherently a temporary unstable life situation, both in the big sense and even just that your daily schedule changes every semester with the courses that you take, and you know it will again next semester. So you don’t have a “clean” control group.

I try to make a point of identifying bad habits of mine when I move for exactly this reason. A lot of our habits interact with each other; if I go from a particular apartment to a particular job at a given time each day, eating a particular kind of breakfast becomes part of that same routine. If I’m going to move to a different apartment to take a different job, I might as well try to fill in the other details with new habits I choose rather than try to fit the old habits into the new framework.
