How To Manage Change
Why do we resist change, instead of flowing with the inevitable?
Change equals loss, which includes letting go of what you once had/were. It can be challenging to accept change.
However, when we adjust our mindset around a situation, we can see things in a new way, get a new perspective, gain insights, allow for possibilities and find hope.
Joyce Rupp says, “The spring earth must be turned over to receive the life-giving rains. So, too, our hearts need to be opened up to receive the gifts of spring (change or growth).”
It is only when we open up that we will grow and change and ultimately transform.
Therefore, we invite you to open up, one by one, those places in your life where you are resistant, those parts in your heart that are seeking growth, those aspects in your spirit that are struggling with the truth, by doing the following: Open up your mind and your heart to possibilities.
Lay down your strong expectations.
Acknowledge and release your inner violence.
Give up your need to be right.
Turn away from worries.
Replace fear with hope.
Allow yourself to laugh out loud.
Dig in the soil, plant or visit a garden.
