Changeography
What is the belief you personally go to during times of change?
Being stretched allows us to realize our true potential. It takes us out of our comfort zones and let’s us learn new things about ourselves that we otherwise wouldn’t have known.The best thing about change is…
In times of uncertainty, you are reminded of what matters most in your life. It’s the perfect priority check!What is the best change you have ever made?
Moving to New York to start my own business was by far the best decision of my life--but it was also the biggest and most difficult change I’ve had to deal with. Where would I be if I hadn’t done it? I’m thankful every day that I’ll never have to know!Advice on Change
1. Have a good listener on speed dial. Everyone needs to be able to vent frustrations and share concerns when they’re facing something overwhelming. Report to someone who won’t get sick of your complaining—your mom, your husband, your dog—doesn’t matter! Just let it out.
2. Make the gym a priority. Getting your sweat on provides a release for all the negative and anxious energy that comes with change. When everything seems out of your control, having full reign over your body brings back a much needed sense of power.
3. Celebrate successes. They can be as small as having a good day at work or finding a new favorite restaurant. Reminding yourself that goals can still be reached outside of the change that’s happening will give you motivation to keep moving forward.
4. Indulge in what makes you happy. QT with the girls, journaling, foot massages… whatever it might be! Make more time for it because it’s these things that will keep you grounded.
5. Keep your options open. It’s extra important now to be able to decide for yourself what you want to do and when. Stay busy so that you don’t get too preoccupied and overwhelmed by the change, but don’t over commit. If it’s not a priority—don’t feel guilty for passing it by.
