Cultivating Happiness For
Embracing Change
When one door closes, another opens;
but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the
closed door that we do not see the one that has opened for us.
~Alexander Graham Bell
Change is fundamental to life. Still, when predictability disappears so does our confidence, security, and sense of control. Rather than be disheartened and discouraged by the ambiguity and uncertainty of life, what if we accept it, relax into it, and embrace it? A closed door is our signal to look for the portal to new possibilities.
Whether you are facing:
- Becoming a new mom, or an empty-nester
- Sudden or planned retirement
- Divorce or a new relationship
- Relocation
- Financial shifts
- Aging and/or loss of health
...change in any form disrupts our equilibrium, and worse, leaves us stressed with feelings of fear, doubt, emptiness, uncertainty, anxiety. We feel disoriented. If we are operating from paralyzing feelings, it is difficult to progress, solve problems, or see the opportunity for growth and the possibilities that lie ahead. Discomfort doesn’t come from change. It comes from resistance to change.
Cultivate happiness and learn the art of accepting life "as is." Acceptance allows you to release your fear, doubt, and resistance and redirect your focus and energy on the possibilities within your new situation. As you shift your thoughts and energy, you are less stressed and able to explore and pursue what matters most to you.
