The Battle of Change and Coping Skills

Change is an interesting concept that is not always easy to handle. Here are a few quotes attesting to this:

He who rejects change is the architect of decay. The only human institution which rejects progress is the cemetery.
~Harold Wilson

If nothing ever changed, there'd be no butterflies.
~Author Unknown

It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.
~Author unknown, commonly misattributed to Charles Darwin

We did not change as we grew older; we just became more clearly ourselves.
~Lynn Hall

Think for a moment about how well you adjust to change.

Does the very thought of change produce fear and panic? Try the following short quiz

1. How is your work or job that you are doing? When you wake up, are you ready to get down to business or does the thought of it produce fear / panic / anxiety?

2. How about your finances – are they under control? Do you suddenly head to eBay and spend hundreds or thousands of dollars with no forethought, no planning, no setting aside of funds beforehand?

3. Have you been eating and sleeping regularly? Any change in your patterns / habits?

4. How’s your social calendar? Do you have one? Are you ever afraid to even try to find something to wear to go out in public?

Look over your replies and face facts about your self, your fears and anxieties. The above questions represent brief glimpses into very basic parts of everyday life. If you can’t roll with the punches, with constant change, maybe you need help. Maybe you need to learn some coping skills and combat change head on.

When you think of change, remember words of the wise:

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves.
~Victor Frankl

If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you think about it.
~Mary Engelbreit
