Do You Resist While Making Changes in Your Life Situations?

Learning to Accept Change is the Constant Way of Life

At some or the other point in life, each one of us has tried to make a Change and the queer feeling that we had with any change in LIFE is- even if it was a positive, constructive or an enriching one- we had felt like resisting it. This strange notion about ‘change’ drives us crazy at times. It’s quite apparent that when changes are forced upon us we tend to resist despite being aware of the fact that the change is unavoidable in the end but why do we feel a little discomfort for those changes also that we honestly want for ourselves. Why do we develop a slight resistance for such desired changes also? No matter how optimistic and positive person you are, you resist if something happens different in your normal course of life as if changes insinuate us not to flow with what comes on the way.

Before we discuss the importance of Learning to accept changes, let’s try to understand that resistance is a normal process; it’s just a natural psychological reaction to change. In other words, it can be explained as self-protection mechanism or denying ourselves to having the bandwidth to adjust with the newness in life. We are conditioned to accept ourselves as self-contained individuals and even the smallest hitch disturbs us. Restlessness lurks whenever we expect change in our life. But, can we live without changes in our life; no, certainly NOT. It is rightly said that change is the only constant in this world so how to handle this discomfort that arouses before any change in our life, makes today’s topic to discuss at blog Eduemeralds.

Never allow the fear of change overpower your Comfort and make you frightened, it might deprive you of the excitement of newness and the achievements on your way. Change in career, switching companies, shifting house, changing marital status, and incorporating a new habit/ practice in your usual life are a few examples that may disturb your inner peace. And some of them are unavoidable so let’s ponder how can we make this change a smooth one?

Just ask yourself these questions- What will happen if I do Change? What will happen if don’t change? What won’t happen if I change? What won’t happen if I don’t change? Now write your answers and evaluate all the possibilities. You may not find these questions innocuous but these questions can unearth many of the reasons of your ordeal of a mechanical, monotonous way of life.

Why Changes Shouldn’t Scare Us?

Every change isn’t like a whammy that blows up every iota of your joy and comfort, many come with abundant opportunities to help us evolve us as more capable and resilient person. Fear of change can make us adamant and rigid in attitude; therefore we lose our flexibility in adapting new things and may end up entangled in our own Comfort Zone. Changes are always the accelerators in our life, they allow us to move forward faster and learn new things quicker, thus making life all the more exciting.

Embracing Change is a Fulfilled Way of Life

We all have our favorite stuff in both the forms; material and emotional. And we keep clinging on to them until we are forced to detach from such things and feelings. You can breathe a new life by replacing an old item with a new in your closet and feel afresh and lighter by replacing old grudges and bitterness of past by cultivating a new habit with positivity and optimism. Changes keep the river of life flowing and help us to get rid of the daily grind of life for a while. A strong resistance and reluctance to change can be a major stumbling block in our life and eventually will increase the fear for Unknown in our mind. If we persist to have the feelings of self-doubt and uncertainty we won’t be able to change our perspective of handling a change and will be deprived of all the options and possibilities that could dawn a bright and fulfilled way of life for us.

Changes and Progress are Synonymous

Monumental gains come following decisive changes in LIFE yet we consider them detrimental to our emotional health. You need to pace yourself for any gain and understand where such emotional hurdles stem from. Transcend your fear and resistance to change because your disavowal to all the expected and unexpected changes in your life may impede your growth and happiness, it may destroy the purpose of your living as a whole.   

Not all changes bring bliss and success in your life; life is not a fairytale, we face gloomy days also, but such changes teach us to be stronger and make us tougher than before. We want to improve so many facets of life like job, finances, partner, home, leisure etc. But sadly, nothing can budge until we make efforts for the change and we must understand without change, there will be no improvements in life. So one should accept that fighting or resisting change is more cumbersome than Embracing, accommodating, and flowing with it.

Do you still feel that you resist while making changes in your life situations?

Eduemeralds firmly believes that each change is a turning point in life and when you close one door, another one opens automatically and fills you with verve and vigor to adapt to that change. Changes give us a reason to live with renewed zest and energy and changes empower us with a sense that you can handle everything in life. So next time when you become resistant to any change or feel a temptation to avoid it, just take a pause, have faith in your Decision Making Ability and aim to go with the flow of that change, just glide with it! 

Wish You Happy Changes in Life!!!
