We encounter constant changes throughout our life; it could be educational, health, relationships or financial, and of course with oneself. Maintaining or increasing one’s sense of self-worth and happiness are strong incentives for these changes.Too often trials and errors affect our self-esteem and therefore hinder true engagement in learning and changing. It’s very comforting to have a routine, and very frightening to go forward to
unknown. Its takes courage and determination. This is nothing new. You have done it before, perhaps not deliberately but you have gone through many changes during your life.
Change is stressful. No doubt about it. Why not make it as stressless as possible? Try to consider following:
Uderstand intentions, motivations, and desires of your new endeavours. Acknowledge strengths and constraint it will bring. Allow yourself to take risks and not to take any fall back personally. Remember trials and errors are part of learning and being alive.
Compel to understand, to appreciate one’s feelings, fears and motivations; be sure to use such information to better your life. Use this information to guide your thinking and action.
Let go of negative thoughts, integrate new ideas with what you already know and use new information to move forward. Be flexible, allow for new and different ways to achieve your goal, it might bring you different opportunities at end. Why not supply yourself with options. Have some contingencies as backup plans, it will calm down this feeling of vulnerability.
Unfortunately too often as adults we want to do everything ourselves…mistakes. We are not alone; tons of people have been through changes, often similar to ours; seek and accept support from others. They experienced it, they might know something you haven’t’ thought about. Give it a try.
