CHANGE ISN’T ALWAYS EASY BUT IT'S WORTH IT
Change and the uncertainty that it brings is an unavoidable part of life. It is however the one thing that you can guarantee will happen. Yet so many people struggle with it.
I’ve always wondered why some people thrive when it comes to change and why others barely keep their head above water and survive. A lot of it boils down to someone’s personality type. This is great for the people who love change, but what about the people that struggle?
We are creatures of habit at the best of times. We love routine. Both these things are important to be successful in life. Being able to embrace change though is also a necessity. Through change you get to the edge of your comfort zone and enter new territory This is a great place for growth to happen.
If you want to progress in area in your life, change is inevitable. Like it or not you will have to embrace it. Here are 5 ways that can help you do this:
It is important to remember change is inevitable. A normal and necessary part of life. Say this to yourself when you feel overwhelmed by change.
When transitioning through change keeping routine in other areas of your life is a great way to add some certainty and stability. So it is important to maintain your self-care routines. These offer great support and help ground you.
Reflection of YOUR journey is key. Focus on where you have been and how far you have come. Pausing and bringing awareness to the things you have overcome in the past may give you the evidence you need to affirm that you can and have dealt with a lot of change without even knowing. We are more resilient than you think.
Focus on what you can control. There are so many things that are out of control, that when we try to control everything this creates stress and overwhelm within our system. Things you have full control include: Mindset, work ethic, how to treat others and YOUR HEALTH.
Focus on the present moment. Do not concern yourself or worry about what will be. Have a well thought out plan, go all in and create the future you want by using your energy in the present moment.
If you never change and do the same thing day in and day out how are you to expect different outcomes? I will leave you with this quote:
“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new” -Socrates
Any questions just ask and always remember you are more than enough!
