Accepting Change Is Never Easy.

• Acknowledge Your Feelings – It’s okay to feel uncertain, anxious, or even resistant. Allow yourself to process those emotions instead of ignoring them or suppressing them. Sit with them. Accept how you feel. It is ok to feel what and how you feel. Process them wisely and allow them to flow through you. Take the time to get personal with each one of them and asked them questions if you have too.  But also take the time to hear if they have something important to tell you on why that feeling is there with you. Create a comfortable and safe space where you can give them and you enough time to know one another on a deeper level until the feeling(s) is completely processed.

• Shift Your Perspective – Instead of seeing change as something to fear,  or something negative, try to view it as an opportunity for growth,  an opportunity to learn from it, or an opportunity for a fresh new start. Viewing change from a different perspective broadens opportunities and turns change into new possibilities in the horizon. Shifting your view of whatever change you may be experiencing and seeing from a negative standpoint. but instead place it into possible possibilities and opportunities, makes a huge different on how your feelings about that change, take a new lane.

• Focus on What You Can Control – Some aspects of change will be beyond your influence, but there are things within your power—your attitude, your choices, your response. That is solely under your control. Most times when change happens, we cannot control anything outside of ourselves. With people, places and things. The only real control you do have is the one from within yourself. You have the choice to respond to that change, through your own chosen attitude towards it. How you respond to outer changes and outer circumstances have a big effect on how smooth or chaotic the change flows. You can only control your own thought, feelings and the attitude you apply towards it. Take wise actions in response towards the change, with the best possible outcomes, and as balanced as you can. All else is really not up to you. You can only do what you can do to in response to it. Learn to not take it so personal. Especially if you deal with the change the best way you can, through your own capability. Try no to get too attached.

• Take Small Steps – Don’t try to tackle everything at once. Break the transition into manageable parts so it doesn’t feel overwhelming. One breath at a time. One thought at a time. One wise action to move forward in the best way possible. Calm the chaos in your mind. Remain present and don't allow your thoughts and feelings to go into a 'chaotic mode'. One breath, one thought, one move at a time. Just for now. Just for today.

• Lean on Support – Talk to friends, family, or mentors who can offer guidance, reassurance, or a new perspective. Another person may see and be able to see a new perspective if your mind is too clouded about the change taking place. Leaning on true supportive individuals that you can truest to be there for you and hold you up for a bit, also helps greatly. If you have no one supportive around you. You can reach out to an online community support group. Though you may not know some people personally, but there are some genuine individuals out there that might give you some good advice. No matter where you get the support, also keep in mind to be highly discerning with whomever it is. If it doesn't sit right with your spirit, please be wise. The best support you can get is going deep within yourself and finding the wise elder that is in you and there to assist you no matter what challenge you face.

• Find the Silver Lining – Even if change feels difficult, ask yourself: What’s one good thing that might come from this? No matter how negative the change may seem. At times we see it as negative because we get shaken out of our comfy place. But if you take the time to process the change calmly and wisely. No change is negative. Change takes place for our own growth. And remember that if the change brings pain with it. Pain is not brought into your life to destroy you. Change is brought into your life to transform you. Always. The Universe knows when it is time for change in our lives. So, trust the process even if you don't understand it.

• Practice Patience – Acceptance takes time. Give yourself grace and remember that adjusting is a process, not an overnight shift. Accepting the change is going to be one of your main priorities. Accepting what's happening without leaning to the negative side of things. Accept the change, with grace, patience, love and full of gratitude this will shift your own energetic flow during the chaos of the storm. Stay grounded in truth and you cannot go wrong processing the whole thing through the lens of gratitude.

BE VERY PATIENT WITH YOURSELF NO MATTER THE CHANGE TAKING PLACE.
