The Battle of Change and Coping Skills
Author: Admin Categories: AnxietyChange 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:
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
