Does it excite you or scare you? Does it depend on the kind of change?
It seems that the majority of people don’t like change. If we maintain the status quo, there is nothing to fear.
What I have found, though, is that we cannot avoid change. It happens as surely as the hands on the clock change with each ticking second.
The automatic fall-out of that is that many people live in fear.
What if change was something you welcomed? What if your perspective shifted around change? What do you think would happen then?
Is it possible the changes would happen more effortlessly? If the changes happened more effortlessly, is it possible the changes might actually feel good?
And if the changes felt good, would you actually welcome changes?
That line of thought came full circle, didn’t it?
Change is something we cannot avoid. The more we try avoid it, the harder the change will slam us. Certainly being slammed does not feel good!
The next big question is, how do we welcome change?
The first step would be to accept that change is automatic*.
*Tip: Notice how I used the word automatic rather than inevitable? Automatic feels better to me than inevitable. As you make your shifts, choose words that make you feel better. It makes all the difference as you move through change.
This gives you permission to change, and the resistance to change will automatically begin to fall away.
When you are open to change, everything flows more effortlessly. Opportunities begin to present themselves. Things show up that move you through the change effortlessly, and, dare I say it, with more Joy!
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could Joy-fully welcome changes?
What about the possibility of change actually being Fun**?
Is it possible that change could be an Adventure**?
**Tip: Notice again how I’m playing with words? I like fun and adventure, so connecting these words to change definitely makes me feel better about change.
Are you open to accepting change? How do you choose to experience change? Will it be something fun? Will change be an adventure for you?
How do you choose to welcome change?
