I want to talk to you about how to embrace change in a way that allows you to thrive no matter what is happening in your life. The change is constant in life whether you perceive it or not everything is constantly changing the environment, weather, the economy, technology, society, your friends and family everything the better you are to anticipate respond to, and cope with the changes. That is happening in your world the easier it will be for you to live your best life.
Now for some people, the idea of constant and never-ending change is terrifying because change often involves risk and loss possibly of something big like your house, your job, your money, your friends, your family, or just the loss of whatever is comfortable and familiar. Some people see change as something to fear or to dread instead of something that is a new adventure as a potential to improve them or their life because that’s what change actually is it’s an opportunity for you to experience something new and to grow and evolve as a person.
Change asks you to learn new things to master new skills to develop new qualities like flexibility, optimism, courage, and persistence all of which automatically results in you becoming a better more capable person and that’s a good thing because the ultimate goal of life is not just life and comfort but a life of mastery only develops when you are confronted with challenges when you try to resist change you rub yourself with the experiences that can transform your life on both a professional and a personal level.
When you welcome and embrace change you allow yourself to cooperate with a natural evolution that is the reality of existence on earth think of it this way change is inevitable. We can follow a few steps to embrace the changes. The first step is to take the time to fully understand event plus response equals outcome and it’s your response to any event, not the event itself determines the outcome you experience you can’t change the events that happened they just occur outside of your control.
Let’s say someone loses your job and starts freaking out over the sudden loss of a guaranteed income each month you could blame yourself for not being good enough and fall into a state of hopelessness despair that keeps you sitting on your couch numbing you’re paying with hours of mindless TV watching or you could choose to see this event as a gift is your chance to pursue a new opportunity that’s more in alignment with your deeper goals and dreams and use your newly liberated energy to develop the skills and expertise you’ll need to create your ideal life now whenever a change happens that seems like a tragedy always remember there is a gift in it every negative event contains within it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.
Responsibility for everything that happens in your life how the law of Attraction works the power of goal setting, how to use affirmations and visualization the power of the mastermind group, and the importance of acting.
Now take a moment later today and think back to some change that you fear to resist and all the good that eventually came from it once you begin to see that you begin to anticipate the good that will come from the changes, you’re now facing a good question to always be asking yourself is what’s the opportunity that this is if you look for that you’ll find it and change will become something to appreciate and embrace rather than to fear and resist remember you always have control over how you choose to respond to things and when you respond with an attitude of curiosity optimism and confidence you’ll find it so much easier to survive and thrive during the change.
The second step is to believe it’s possible to create positive outcomes no matter what change is happening around you, whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve. your mind is a very powerful instrument and when you learn how to properly use it you can create anything and everything you want and the first step is to choose to believe that what you want is possible and the good news is this belief is a choice, a belief is simply a thought you consciously choose to think over and over until it becomes automatic it’s true that most of our beliefs were decided or programmed into us as children, But you have the power now to choose to believe a more empowering believe simply by choosing it and you can delete all believe very quickly.
The third step is to use the power of acting as if see yourself as already being the kind of person who can successfully adapt to any kind of change and then start showing up in the world as that person how would you walk how would you talk how would you dress what thoughts would you think about how would you interact with people you know.
Just ask yourself what kind of person do I need to be in order to achieve the best possible outcome what thoughts do I need to think what pictures do I need to visualize how do I need to behave and what do I need to do and then start showing up is that person.
The fourth step of advice is to give yourself permission to acknowledge and experience whatever fears show up along the way and then take action anyway when you’re faced with big changes you may need to take a huge leap into the unknown and that can be scary I get it but even I have fears that arise sometimes when I take on a new challenge but I’ve never tackled before but just because you’re entering into unknown territory that doesn’t mean it’s bad it could be the best thing that’s ever happened to you and if you approach it as such you greatly increase the likelihood that it will be the best thing that’s ever happened to you swallow yourself to feel the fear and don’t let it stop you take one small step after another into the unknown and you’ll be surprised how quickly the path forward will become clear to you and entirely achievable.
