10 Steps to Making Change Easier

[View Online]( INSPIRATION [10 Steps to Making Change Easier]( Change doesn’t have to be hard. Here are 10 steps to help make it easier. 1. Begin by making small changes or break up large-scale changes into more manageable increments. This can make you feel better about handling the changes you are about to make, while making you more comfortable with change in general. 2. Mentally link changes to established daily rituals. This can make changes like taking on a new habit, starting a new job, or adapting to a new home happen much more smoothly. For example, if you want to begin meditating at home, try weaving it into your morning routine. 3. Going with the flow can help you accept change instead of resisting it. If you stay flexible, you will be able to ride out change without too much turbulence. 4. When a change feels most stressful, relief can often be found in finding the good that it brings. An illness, a financial loss, or a broken relationship can seem like the end of the world, yet they also can be blessings in disguise. 5. Remember that all change involves a degree of learning. If you find change particularly stressful, try to keep in mind that after this period of transformation has passed, you will be a wiser person for it. 6. Remember that upheaval and confusion are often natural parts of change. While we can anticipate certain things change might bring, it is impossible to know everything that will happen. Be prepared for surprises, and the winds of change won’t easily knock you over. 7. Don’t feel like you have to cope with changing circumstances or the stress of making a change on your own. Talk about what’s going on with a friend or write about it in a journal. Sharing your feelings can give you a sense of relief while helping you find the strength to carry on. 8. Give yourself time to accept any changes that you face. And as change happens, recognize that you may need time to adjust to your new situation. Allow yourself a period of time to reconcile your feelings. This can make big changes feel less extreme. 9. No matter how large or difficult a change is, you will eventually adapt to these new circumstances. Remember that regardless of how great the change, all the new that it brings will eventually weave itself into the right places in your life. 10. If you’re trying to change a pattern of behavior or navigate your way through a life change, don’t assume that it will be easy. Wanting to cry or be moody during a period of change is natural. Then again, don’t assume that making a change will be hard; sometimes, changes are meant to be easy!   DailyOM Course Spotlight [Preventing Procrastination]( In this highly effective course, former BBC broadcast engineer and author Tom Evans will teach you expert strategies to maximize your creative output so you can focus more of your energy on the things that you desire in your life.
