The Battle of Change and Coping
Skills
Change is an interesting concept that is not always easy to handle.
Many people have been quoted, attesting to this:
He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human
institution which rejects progress is the cemetery. ~Harold Wilson
If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies. ~Author Unknown
It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most
intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. ~Author unknown,
commonly misattributed to Charles Darwin
We did not change as we grew older; we just became more clearly
ourselves.
~Lynn Hall
Let see how well you adjust to change. Does change produce fear and
panic? See what you think about the following:
1. How is your work or job that you are doing? When you wake up, are
you ready to get down to business or does the thought of it produce
fear / panic / anxiety?
2. How about your finances – under control? Do you suddenly head to
eBay and spend hundreds or thousands of dollars with no forethought,
no planning, no setting aside of funds beforehand?
3. Have you been eating and sleeping regularly? Any change in
patterns / habits?
4. How’s your social calendar? Have one? Wonder what that is? Afraid
to even try to find something to wear to go out in public?
Look over your replies and face facts about your self, your fears
and anxieties. The above questions represent brief glimpses into
very basic parts of everyday life. If you can’t roll with the
punches, with constant change, maybe you need help. Maybe you need
to learn some coping skills and combat change head on.
When you think of change, remember words of the wise:
When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged
to change ourselves.
~Victor Frankl
If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it,
change the way you think about it.
~Mary Engelbreit
