Seven Tips For Thriving Through Change - Let Your Feelings Be Your Guide

by Cherise Greski

Change is a natural part of life.

How we mentally and emotionally handle the changes that we encounter determines our level of satisfaction, peace and fulfillment. We can either spend our time fighting change or we can learn to embrace it, roll with it and thrive.

Here are seven tips that can empower you to move forward through change and feel triumphant along the way.

1) All Change is impersonal but it feels personal. When we take it 'personally' we prevent ourselves from seeing the bigger picture. Recognizing that change comes to everyone, we begin to change our situation by just acknowledging that CHANGE IS.

2) Not all Change is bad. When we are in the middle of change that we didn't plan for, we may feel it is bad or negative. But even in the 'negative' changes we experience, there is a nugget of good to be found.

3) Recognize that how we feel is a CHOICE. We can choose to be upset, angry, frustrated about what is happening in our lives or we can begin to embrace it. Just knowing that we have a choice can bring an immediate sense of relief and openness about the opportunity instead of feeling negative about the change.

4) Choose Peace over anything else. While choosing acceptance is our goal, choosing to be at peace about the change can provide a profound sense of relief. Instead of trying to figure it out or 'dealing' with it, we can then allow our intuition to aid us toward acceptance.

5) Become Self-aware. Ask yourself how does this change REALLY impact you. Is it worth your peace of mind? Then, ask your heart how it feels about the change. Often our heads are arguing for something that are hearts are already calm about.

6) Decide if you are going to row, flow or grow with the change. When we are stuck in 'solving' mode, we tend to row against the stream the change is trying to bring us. We can immediately stop that stuck feeling by flowing with the change. If we embrace the change, we begin to grow through it and feel empowered.

7) Take INSPIRED action. When we spend so much time thinking about a change and not listening to our heart, we do not hear the action we can take. The answers to any change/challenge are inside of us waiting to be acted upon. We can only hear them when we still the chatter long enough and pay attention. Inspired action will be the next step that feels joyful, peaceful and satisfying.

And, to truly TRIUMPHANTLY THRIVE change - take this last tip...

ACKNOWLEDGE yourself - find pleasure in the journey you've taken thus far...

It really is all about the journey and not the destination.
