Navigating Change

Whether or not youve chosen the change at hand, one thing is certain, change can be challenging! It doesnt have to be that way if you allow yourself to view every change as an opportunity for growth. Much like the seasons, we experience cycles that are meant to help us process the transition at hand for our own well being.
The first stage in the change cycle is Endings/Loss. In this stage you come to terms that a relationship to person, place or thing has ceased to exist as we once knew it. Its natural and good for you to grieve the loss so long as it doesnt put you in a state of ongoing depression. The goal of this stage is to look back and evaluate the past experience for the wisdom it has to offer:
Identify what worked, what was successful?
Identify what didnt work and why?
If you could repeat the experience, what would you alter?
The most important aspect of sitting with these questions is that you reconcile your behaviors with a spirit of compassion and forgiveness. No one is perfect and life affords us the change cycle to expand and grow over time. We can get stuck in this phase when we cant move through being the Victim or Martyr. If that happens, an individual should seek professional counseling.
The second stage in the change cycle is Preparation. In this stage we retreat to refuel to get ready for whatever lies ahead. Keep in mind this is a time to:
Mother yourself with care
Clear out emotional or physical clutter to make way for the new
Be open to learning new behaviors/skills that shape us for future
Be open to meeting new people
The challenge in this phase is learning to manage your anxiety of the unknown so you dont undermine the learning or networking opportunities as they arise. Be sure to practice a variety of stress management techniques to identify which are successful in helping you deal with fear otherwise your Saboteur will hold back from moving forward.
The third stage in the change cycle is Beginnings. In this stage we have a vision of what the future can hold. Many of the details are still lacking, but we have the momentum to move forward. The most important aspect of this phase is the self discipline to stay true to your spirit. Ask yourself:
What are the motivations behind the new beginning?
Am I empowering myself?
Am I giving my power away to a person, title, thing outside of my spirit?
Too often individuals are motivated to accomplish goals/projects for reasons outside themselves. Be careful you dont let your Prostitute sell your sense of self for the money, title, social status, etc.
The last stage in the change cycle is Abundance. In this stage we experience the highest potential our situation has to offer. To experience Abundance you must tame your Inner Child from:
Demanding perfection otherwise any state of Abundance will never be enough
Demanding complete control otherwise Abundance is an elusive concept thats chased but never experienced
When you are naturally experiencing Abundance, you live from a place passion and joy. In addition, your positive energy radiates to all who come in contact with you. Its a state of knowing you are in communion with your spirit and you are at peace with the original change, understanding it was for your highest good.
Whenever you feel a transition at hand, step into the change as an opportunity to assess whether you are living in alignment with your spiritual beliefs, values and purpose. Every change is a chance to grow into our highest potential of who we are meant to be and what we are meant to contribute in this lifetime.
