Society is gradually opening up.
While this is good news to many, there will be others who are less enthusiastic about changing how they have lived in the past many months. Many have made sacrifices, adjusted their lives and while things were initially challenging, they have now settled down to a new, comfortable routine. Why does that now have to change and why now?
Change is a normal part of life. It’s been said that it is the only constant thing in life. Change comes, goes and comes again. Sometimes we can prepare for change, other times we cannot. Sometimes we are the instigators of change, at other times we are the recipients of it. One way or the other, change will come!
Change is one thing that can make a lot of people uncomfortable. Change is uncertain and it requires adaptations being made. It can come in the form of changing jobs, moving to a different country, learning a new skill and in the context of what has happened in the past months, change can be government restrictions lifting and having to return to the office.
I like the idea of change and overtime I have tried to embrace it as best as I can. I am also one to where possible, plan for change by taking care of the things that are within my control. I then let go and try to embrace the change as it comes along.
Things can be easier if we learn to accept change as a part of life. To embrace it where we can. To learn that change is not necessarily a bad thing, it is another challenge that can be overcome.
Even if we choose to be careful with change, let’s try to not be fearful of it!
