The muffin tin as a lesson in change
The Light Switch Myth: A begginer's guide to creating realistic and sustainable change
Cleaning my muffin tin and how it became a metaphor for the way change often works 😎😮😝
I ran this muffin tin through the dishwasher three times… and it still wasn’t clean!
Every time I pulled it out, I felt frustrated. Why wasn’t it working? Why couldn’t this just be done already?
Finally tonight I came to a place of acceptance that I would have to do it by hand. So I started scrubbing. But it was caked on of course and my efforts were not making any progress.
Then it hit me! The answer was patience and a new strategy. I stopped scrubbing. I filled it with hot, soapy water and just let it soak.
And when I came back a couple of hours later, the baked-on mess wiped away easily. What felt impossible before was suddenly simple.
In my experience, Change works like that too. Sometimes it’s not about pushing harder or doing more — its about acceptance, adapting the plan and sometimes it’s about giving things time to soak, Letting the process do its work.
So if you feel stuck, maybe it’s not a sign you’re failing. Maybe it’s just time to let things soak. ✨
