One of most profound secrets to enable you to stop fighting change and learning to relish it, is our 'Attitude'.

Instead of seeing a potential change as a threat, learn to welcome prospect of a challenge as a wonderful learning tool.

Stop! Analyze event and see wood for trees.

So often we get caught up in emotion and this blinds us from seeing what is actually going on. We get so wrapped up in 'drama' of situation that we make situation appear much more complicated than it actually is.

A wonderful set of techniques I use to get through stressful situations are:

-Take a deep breath, -Separate yourself from situation (look down on it as if you're flying), -Sift through emotions you're feeling and see if you are dramatizing them, -Get to root of why you're feeling that way and what is actually happening, -Seeing if you really have any reason to be feeling as apprehensive as you do, -Picture desirable outcome of getting through change, well, -Pray to God that He will give you strength to get through change, Brilliantly! -Change your attitude to one of faith in God, faith in yourself and your abilities, and a gratefulness for all that you will learn from this experience.

Follow these steps whenever you're faced with a stressful situation. See how clearing away 'emotional fog', helps you to resolve situation quickly and easily. It enables you to handle stress and even look forward to challenge of getting to other side.

When things get too much for you to handle, I always advise that you say following verse to yourself and follow its sage advice

'I am God. Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help.

If Life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in SFGTH (something for God to handle) box. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.'

Once matter is placed in box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead focus on all wonderful things that are present in your Life now.

It works for me without fail. The stronger my Faith becomes more I know that I am not alone and that God will help me through everything in my life. I imagine Him to be sitting at back of hall when I give a speech, holding me in his arms when I cry, cradling me to sleep when I'm tired and pinning a gold medal on my jacket when I've achieved.

Imagine a box and put all your cares and worries into it. Wrap it up nicely and hand it over to God and, as it says, don't think about problems any longer, just know that answers will come in their own time. Keep an eye out for signs He will send, and soon you will have solution to all that troubles you.

I do not know which verse in Bible this is, but it inspires me to keep Faith.

'Worry not about what you should eat or drink or what you should wear, for your Heavenly Father knows you need all of these things, but first seek Kingdom of God and all these things will be given to you.'

May you find Faith you need to get where you want to go.
