The
only constant in Life is Change
( Karl Marx )
Change is an
inevitable part of life as nothing remains static. We change as we grow and
mature; our environment changes; our work changes. We can do one of three
things with that change.
1.
Ignore
it and try to remain as we think we are
2.
Embrace
it fully and go with it
3.
Explore
it and then decide what we want to do with the information we gain.

Two views of
the same hill – changed!!!
So – what do we
do.
If we choose
path 1 and ignore it – it can cause stress and anxiety due to tension in
relationships both at home and at work. Everyone changes and if we don’t
recognise that in others and ourselves, it can be a source of conflict.
If we choose
path 2 – we can act without thought and our lives can become chaotic with lots
of unfinished business. This too can lead to stress and anxiety.
If we choose
path 3 – we reflect and become self aware. We can take in the new information
and then think about what we want to do. Some change is worth reacting to and
sometimes it may be better to wait and see what else comes along. This then
allows us to take our time, not be over or under reactive; not jump from one
thing to another; not create tension in our relationships unnecessarily. This
path then can reduce stress and anxiety.
When change
next enters your life, take your time and think.
