It's not always easy to 'cope' when change is thrust in your way.
Because of my move...my whole routine has been turned upside-down...and it isn't easy to adjust overnight!
Half the battle with change, though...is how you react to it.
Once you begin to 'wish' that things were back the way they used to be...you're in trouble.
It's no good letting that little negative 'monster' eat away at you. It will only make a challenging situation a LOT worse!
So...what do you do?
Well...from my own experience over the last couple of days...NOTHING!
Nothing?
That's right. If you let yourself get worked up by the fact that things are different then you won't help yourself adjust to the situation one little bit.
Remember...your natural reaction to change is to compare the 'before' and 'after'...even if you have changed to something much better.
And...guess what the natural human reaction is when you compare where you are now with something (or someone).
You will ALWAYS be able to find something negative when you make the comparison. You won't be able to help yourself.
So...at the moment I'm trying to just ease into a routine that, although completely different...is one that I KNOW makes sense where my future is concerned.
And that's the key.
Remember...if the change (whether you may think that it is good or bad) is contributing towards your 'ideal' future...then what have you got to worry about?
Just relax, take a deep breath...and give yourself enough mental breathing space so that you DON'T beat yourself up about the fact that things may not seem quite as good as they 'used to be'.
Well, that's the way I deal with change...what about YOU?
