HR Learning of the Month: Learning to accept change
Learning to roll with change will lead to a happier and more fulfilling life. That
doesn't mean you should ignore feelings of sadness, anger, frustration, or stress.
These are normal responses to major life changes. But once you have acknowledged those
feelings, it's important to move forward and focus your energy on future possibilities.
Reflect and refocus
Take stock of your personal assets and express gratitude. For example: "I can deal with this. I still have my ability to think, my special talents, my skills and my aspirations. I'm grateful for relationships and for my family."
Ask yourself some important questions
- How do I want to feel in three months?
- What will it take to get there?
- What does my ideal week look like?
- What can I do to realize that?
- Who can help with that?
Take action
Start by visualizing how you want to feel or where you want to be three months from now. Work back from this goal until you find something small enough that you can do today, tomorrow or next week.
Choose
Decide what you want as the next chapter of your life. Simply choosing doesn't guarantee you'll get it, but the power of your intentions makes a huge difference.
