Change is inevitable and when it happens, particularly unexpectedly, we can go into a state of overwhelm, with feelings of uncertainty and confusion about the future.
Here are 3 tips to embrace change, with more ease and clarity:
✨ Notice Your Thoughts
When we start fearing the unknown and worried about what the future looks like, our thoughts go into a looping negative spin. This type of thinking only causes grief, because it’s unproductive and doesn’t offer us a clear way forward, it keeps us stuck. One tip to get out of that state, pause, start noticing your breath, and pause and continue breathing in and out of your nose, gently and deeply.
Next tip, get a note pad or a piece of paper, draw a vertical line down the middle. On your left, write down in point form your current thoughts, then on the right side, write down the opposite (positive) suggestions. Then read it. This is a excellent technique to shift the mindset to a new perspective.
✨ Trust The Process
The very key that helps when we are worried about the unknown, while going through changes, is to learn to trust the process.
The idea is to not focus on the unknown, but rather focus on the present moment. The unknown is when we are looking into the future, which often causes a lot of anxiety and overwhelm, because we don’t have that much control about the future, we can only be in control of the here and now.
One quick tip to stay in the present moment, is to say a little mantra, an example is “I am in a new phase and transition. I welcome my new beginnings with an open heart and open mind, I am safe and I will be fine, I’ve got this.”
✨ Look Forward To New Possibilities
As the saying goes, ‘when one door closes the other opens.’ Change is a portal for new opportunity and possibilities. The chance to do something different, to step out of our comfort zone and although it feels uncomfortable, the actions we take, is where the growth happens. Be open and get immersed into the new.
Enjoy changes with confidence, clarity & ease.
