How to Thrive with Change
Part 1
by Susan Dunn

Page: 1 2 3

There's nothing more disconcerting, nothing you can count on more, and nothing more valuable to learn how to prepare for than change.

I'm not talking about preparing for each individual change as it comes up. This is an inefficient and reactive way to operate.

I mean preparing your SELF proactively for the inevitable changes you will encounter throughout your lifetime so that you remain prepared as part of who you are. This is about emotional intelligence, or competency, and this is how you do it.

Changes

Just when you think everything's settled, and the way it's going to be, along comes a change.

Some of these changes will be good - you get a promotion out-of-the-blue, or suddenly find out you're pregnant after trying for some time, or the dream house you've been looking for comes on the market long before you expected it to or were prepared to move.

Some of these changes will be difficult - a transfer you didn't want, getting laid off, empty nest, or losing a lover, partner or loved one.

Whether anticipated or not, whether wanted or not, things change, and how we deal with this is a sign of our emotional intelligence (EQ), or competency.

Tips

1. Label it immediately a transition.

You are not lost in space (no longer a mother), nor at the end of the line (retirement), nor is it the end of the world (getting laid off). You are in the space between one thing and another; a transition. You are not going to create the future, and recreate yourself.

2. Keep constant what you can and take care of yourself. The first thing most counselors will tell you is something like, "Eat breakfast at the same time every day," or "Take a warm bath."

It's comforting to recognize what in your life has NOT changed, and you always need to practice extreme self-care, but particularly at times when the earth seems to be moving beneath you feet.

3. To handle the emotions, lead with the body.

If your body is tense, you will feel tense. Work from the direction of your body - exercise, or get massages. There is something healing in the human touch that exercise can't bring you. It is widely reported in the literature how important massages can be in times of strain.
