The Gift of Change

Change, whether it be desired or forced upon you, can be a value-added experience.

When embraced, change can help you discover strengths you didn't know you had, such as the:

• Ability to see from a new perspective

• Realization of your openness to new experiences

• Capacity to learn new things and hone existing skills

• Discovery of your untapped potential

• Awareness of your resilience

• Ability to treat yourself with compassion

• Recognition of a growth mindset to see everything as an opportunity to learn and grow.

So, how do you embrace change and navigate it from a positive mindset?

• Be open - open to the possibility and give yourself permission to change.

• Be curious - embrace an attitude of curiosity and wonder.

• Be kind - be kind to yourself; treat setbacks and stagnation as opportunities for growth.

• Be slow - take small, incremental steps to ease into the change.

• Be solution-oriented - focus on finding solutions instead of lamenting change.
