How does everyone deal with change? I've found that many people have ways of dealing with change, but I just can't change as fast as other people can. Here are ten ways to deal with change, they may not work for everyone, but they're definitely worth a try.
1. Noticing that changes are happening.
Sometime people are oblivious to what is going on around the so when it comes to change they don't recognize it at all. Everyone has a different way of noticing that changes are happening and that they cannot do anything about it.
2. Face the feelings.
Many people have conflicting emotions towards the idea of change, which is completely normal. The best way to face it, is to understand "Hey this is going to change. You can either be happy about it or be depressed about it." Facing your feelings about change is harder cause you clearly don't know how to feel when it comes to the actual moment.
3. Learn how to accept that change is happening.
Some people like to ignore the idea that change is happen, which is OK because they cannot cope with the idea that something is changing. Other people like accepting that this exact change can be good for them, it may even take some time to accept it at first.
4. Communicate with someone.
Sometimes when it comes to the idea of change, people have a tendency to bottle up feelings. So go talk to someone. If you need to rant, go rant. No one is stopping you from stating how you feel about the situations.
5. Be grateful.
Everyone tells you to "be grateful" about what you have and who you have. I hate to say this, but they are right. Be grateful that this change might actually help you go through life. You never know what will happen if you aren't grateful that change is changing your opinions on it.
6. As more changes are occurring focus on your actions toward them.
Always keep an open mind about change, you never know why this change might be happening to you so all you can do is stay positive about it. Change will always have a little negativity in it, but the way you react to the negativity should be thought about.
7. Continue doing you.
Don't let these changes take over your life. These changes are going to stop time, so don't make it seem like it will. Keep getting your education, keep doing your job, keep being you.
8. Relax.
It is normal for many things around you to change. You changed. Everyone changes, so don't be upset that your friend changed the way she dresses or that your parents are changing where they move. All that matters is that you relax and breathe. Everything will be fine at the end.
9. Get ready for the next changes.
More things will change in front of you, but as long as you feel comfortable about the changes you can handle the next changes that will come in your direction.
10. Have fun!
Doesn't matter what these changes around doing to you, go enjoy your life as you. Before you change some more, change can even give you a bit of an adventure, take it and enjoy it.
