How to Welcome changes in your life
Life has few guarantees. But one thing you can count on is change
Often, you start to feel an inevitable change in your surroundings, maybe professional growth, a change of environment, a change of city, working with new people, or anything. As a human mindset, it is expected to worry about change outcomes. Whether it comes from our own decisions or forces beyond our control, change in our personal and professional lives can be intimidating, but it’s necessary to keep growing and evolving. Resisting these can cause negative impacts and sometimes hinder our natural growth. Instead of fearing change, many coaching professionals recommend embracing change and viewing it as a positive force instead of fearing it.
Unfortunately, too many of us believe “change is temporary.” It is bound to occur whether you see it as a temporary or a permanent turnaround. When you see something as temporary, you tend to cope with it instead of accepting it — and if you don’t learn how to accept, embrace, and work through your discomfort in unfamiliar situations, you will inevitably find it difficult to progress in the rapidly evolving world of work.
Here are some tips that can help you to embrace changes in your life.
Prepare for it
Remember one thing: to grow in life, you must level up, and leveling up comes out of your comfort zone. It would be best if you were always prepared for new opportunities. Keeping your mindset prepared for new things will ease the process. Slowly and steadily, you can train yourself to welcome new changes. You can start with small changes in your daily routine, a small habit can be added, experiment with what is helping you, monitor your progress, and see how you are behaving in the situation. Explore ways to cope with new things.
Resistance is never the agent of change. You have to embrace the actions that are going to get you closer to your goal– Ali Vincent
Determine the value
Human beings always try to do things that add value to us, not just for the sake of doing them. Determining the values behind new things and opportunities will help you put in more effort because you will upskill in the process. If you are assigned a new task or project, determine what values you will gain. In this way, you will not only complete the project, but the values you gain will upskill you even after completing your task.
Think about the Possibilities
Be curious and try to look at the positive side of things. Rather than sitting back and thinking of it as a roadblock, train yourself to extract the best from the opportunity. Even if the work looks daunting and unrelatable, learning something new is always possible.
It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change. – Charles Darwin
Make Change An Adventure
Start thinking about change as an adventure and a fun experience where we will learn, grow, and have fun in the process. Instead of running away from the fear of something new, start making it an adventure, an exploration of your abilities, a hike in your confidence. The more interesting you make the journey, the more you will enjoy the outcomes.
So, prepare to welcome new things with open arms, learn from some, and adapt to others. The next time you feel the temptation to avoid or resist change, aim instead to initiate the ones that will lead you to where you want to be.
