Change is inevitable.
Whether we like it or not, change happens, everything changes, nothing is permanent.
It is how we deal with it that makes a difference.
We often spend a lot of time and energy wanting to create a “mini-world” of certainty, of security, of control around us. By doing this, we can become inflexible, resisting change and in turn we can become unhappy or loose our passion.
And when we really do want to make a change, we often quickly see all the reasons why it is not going to work, how it is going to be too hard and conclude that the risks are not worth leaving our “comfort zone”.
We can’t control the circumstances of change. However, we can control how we respond to it.
Easily said than done you might say!
Understanding how we respond to change and seeing change in a different light is essential to then being able to adapt to it and act on it in a successful manner.
So, how do we do this? To get you started, here is a simple exercise I like to do with my clients.
Potent herbs in this herbal pill increases secretion of commander cialis testosterone.

Before you start, to put you in the right frame of mind, have a look at the Zen parable I posted some time ago if you haven’t read it yet.
Now, think of a time when you dreaded change and it still happened.
Find 3 things that were great about that change.
Over a week, start making a list of such “dreaded changes” and what ended up being great (or at least good!) about them.
Once you have done this for a week, it is then quite useful to write down what insights you have gained into your past and present life as a result of this. What did you learn? What did you discover you didn’t already know? What surprised you?
Though this is a simple exercise, it is useful to start seeing things in a different light. The point here is not to develop some mindless “positive attitude” but to look at things from a different perspective, to start gaining a balanced view of events in our lives to then develop a stronger awareness of how we react to them and how we could react to them differently, and help us move forward.
To finish, an image of a beautiful sand mandala, which illustrates so well the concept of impermanence in our lives (in the Tibetan tradition, sand mandalas are made of millions of grains of varied coloured sand over several days, creating beautiful images; once finished, the mandala is traditionally swept away, representing the impermanence of life).
