Facing change in our lives takes courage and strength of character. Change is not going away. It’s here with increasing complexity, frequency and intensity.
How we well we do at accepting change is critical to our well being and our survival. So, how can we be pro active towards change?
Can we learn to surf the wave of change – be the change or stay above the change, rather than be swept away by it?
How can we not only adapt effectively to our changing conditions but thrive and prosper inspite of 
them?
What would it take to be ready, with a spirit of expectation and openness, for whatever experience may arise in the moment?
Beginners Mind is Key
Developing focus and living simply, for some people, are life-enhancing strategies. That sense of wonder, appreciative inquiry, exploration without judgment, often lost to childhood, is what beginners mind is all about – the curious mind that sees things as they are and simply witnesses.
Life is the dash between two numbers, a minister, at a funeral service I attended once, remarked. How do you wish to live, recognizing your life in its physical form is finite? Does the body have a shelf life – a best-before date?
How important is it to you to connect with your life passion, to follow your bliss, live in step with your personal values and harness the power of intention?
Facing Inner Change Requires Self Care
Taking time with yourself to notice where you’re at, acknowledge your personal strengths, your personal values and to honour yourself can be rejuvenating. It’s what the right coaching partnership facilitates.
To be fully present, living YOUR life not someone else’s is a joy. Your Being, at one with yourself and its surroundings, experiencing itself in the world alive and engaged…. listening and hearing, looking and seeing, sensing and smelling, perceiving and feeling – open, aware and ready to interact.
You’ve been there, we all have, perhaps in nature – a favourite spot, somewhere?
Yet, if your life feels harried, you may not recall or even remember such a moment. You may have lost your way and can’t locate the guides or markers that would help you find your way back to be refreshed, renewed.
Change Begins with Hope
To succeed, your desire and will must be greater than your fear of failure.
Just Imagine….What if there are NO mistakes? The problems and challenges that present in your life, may only exist for you to transform them into opportunities, or yourself in the process…. along the way, you develop your emotional intelligence, your skills and build your self confidence.
Would that perspective enable you to take action and move forward to create the life that’s calling to you?
Does Facing Change Help you Face Yourself?
The courage to commit helps us in facing change and the power of self esteem moves us into action, as Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, the great German poet of the 18th century, expressed so well in this famous quote.
Until one is committed, there is hesitancy. The chance to draw back, always ineffective concerning all acts of initiative and creation. There is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: That the moment one definitely commits oneself, Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of decisions issues from commitment….
