The best and
first step to succeeding through change is to be prepared for it. We all know
that “change is inevitable” and “nothing stays the same.” We make it through
small changes every day without even thinking about them – running out of milk,
avoiding a traffic jam, having your cable go out. We automatically adjust by
having toast for breakfast, taking an alternate route, reading a magazine
instead of watching the news. These are all small events but they are
unexpected none the less. And yet, we are unaffected and adapt.
You can adapt
to the bigger things as well by simply anticipating them. No, you cannot
predict what is going to happen but you can be open to the idea of change.
Don’t resist it when it happens but look at it as an expected part of life and
take the necessary actions to get through it. This helps to reduce the stress
that you experience with change and negative events so that you can work
through it all a bit better, a bit faster, and with a better outlook.
