Change can be good, but also scary at times. I am the type of person that doesn’t do well with change. I like things to stay more or less the same. I enjoy my routines and sticking with my schedule. I feel as if I am most comfortable with consistency. And I get stressed when things aren’t consistent.
Big changes can have the tendency to be really scary. Especially big life events. Example: Trips that are more than a week long, moving away from everything you have ever known, or starting a new job. Some people thrive with change, and that’s great. But, if you’re like me and really struggle with change, I get it. I know how hard it is.
Change can provide lots of different opportunities, some that you couldn’t even begin to imagine. By one thing changing it can open the door to endless possibilities. To many that sounds incredible. But to many, that also sounds terrifying.
For so long I would try to hide how much change really affected me. By doing so it caused those emotions to come out in different ways that weren’t exactly healthy, nor helped the fear that I was experiencing. I still really struggle with change but I am able to handle it a bit better and I no longer hide the fear. I address it.
When I am experiencing fear from change I really try to sit down with myself and talk it out. I remind myself that change isn’t always bad. I look for a way to see a positive side to the change while acknowledging my fears. I will sometimes even write down my fears along with the positivity that can come with the change. I will read each of them out loud. Kind of like pros and cons. I allow myself to feel both the fear and positivity. It’s important to do that so you don’t bury your feelings.
It’s okay to be scared of new things coming in your life. Never feel shame of being scared of something. But, just know that you can do it and you can get through it. No matter how challenging or how scary it is. We got this!
As Always,
You Deserve Peace
