How Open are WE ??

I consider myself to be an "OPEN" person. Last week i started thinking what does "OPEN" mean in the context of life. Being OPEN to a new cuisine ? Being OPEN to learning ? Being OPEN to make new friends. Well it all added to being "OPEN to CHANGE". Sounds Simple but yet so Difficult.

A couple of weeks back i took an ergonomic class and the instructor showed us the right posture whilst at work. I quickly realized that in 6 years of my professional life, i did everything possibly wrong ergonomically. I decided to change the height of my chair, get rid of the arm rests, align the monitor with my eye, etc. Half an hour after the transformation process, i switched everything over to the way it was. I never cared about it before but a conscious effort to change things made me uncomfortable.

I could not help thinking that this is not the right posture and in the long term is going to lead to a chronic disease so I decided to take "BABY STEPS" (Remember Govinda in Deewana Mastana) and started with just adjusting the height of the seat. Its not the best way to sit while at work and while i tried convincing myself that CHANGE is good, all the chairs in my pod were changed overnight.

I start all over again next week, but learnt that i am not as "OPEN to CHANGE" as i thought.
