Change...

I have always found it very stressful trying to cope with any changes in life. I often wish I could be more easygoing about everything and not feel anxious. I think this might be true for a lot of people although I'm sure many people handle change better than I do. I even find it difficult to cope with small changes in routine so when I have to adapt to bigger changes like moving house or changing jobs I just about have a meltdown. Can anyone relate to this?

Adapting to changes can be very difficult. I know how difficult it can be to go out of your comfort zone and face the challenges in a new work environment for example. Fortunately some of us can easily adapt and as for others we have to struggle. But changes are good at times. They help you to learn and makes you happy too

I understand what you mean but what I do is when there is a big change that needs to be done. I try to compose and visualise what are the positive things that can happen with this change that is about to happen. They do say that the only thing constant in this world is change so really have to try and adapt. Take it one day or step at a time if you start feeling overwhelmed with what is happening.

I must say that I did adapt to changes a lot better when I was younger. Now I become anxious even for little changes.

I feel the same. Maybe its because we have lived through the consequences of certain things changing for the worst and don't want that to happen again.

Interesting to hear this! I actually feel more stressed about change than I did when I was young. I don't know why!

Change is sometimea difficult to handle especially it it's to sudden and too much of change is happening. I like transitioning to different level. No matter what it is, I like it. For me it's a fresh start. I always see it as a refinement of myself, my guideline as to be a better person.

No, I can't. We moved some months ago. It was only from one flat to another in the same house but it was a lot of work and constant decisions what to keep and what to throw away. No psychological damage for me, only sore muscles.

Changes are not like by us. As this is a human tendency to rebel new things But flexibility is essential in life because it is the way to deal with changes and stay happy in critical conditions

That is true, we must be flexible to stay happy. I guess change is inevitable.
