Progress requires change, so we must develop change strategies that reduce our resistance and allow us to view change with a positive and constructive attitude.
Although the majority of us initially react to change with feelings of anxiety and disorientation, most of us are able, over time, to respond with a more favorable and positive mindset.
After all, 9 times out of 10, change brings about new opportunities to improve your position, your wellbeing, your environment, and your circumstances.
Occasionally change is precipitated by destructive, stressful circumstances like divorce, death, or natural disasters.
When a catastrophic change occurs, most people require time and support to enable them to deal with the grieving process before they can adapt to the new changes that have been thrust upon them.
But like our response to grief, our response to change varies, depending on our inherent qualities and attitudes.
So, what coping mechanisms can we put in place to ensure we embrace change with a positive attitude and a sense of excitement in the possibilities?
Over the next 5 days we will review 5 Strategies for Managing Personal Change, so, tune in tomorrow for Strategy #1.
I’m the author of many books, including, Excuses Don’t Count; Results Rule, Live Life with No Regrets, No Excuses, The Guide to Stopping Procrastination, The Power of Visualization, My Gratitude Journal, the Work Life Balance Emergency Kit, and The Roadmap To Success with Stephen Covey and Ken Blanchard, and more.
Aim for what you want each and every day!
