“The only thing constant is change.”
~ Heraclitus, Greek philosopher
Has your life been touched by a major event such as a marriage, birth of a child, children leaving for college, death, retirement, a new medical diagnosis, divorce, promotion, job change, relocation or layoffs at work? Are you having a hard time moving through or, past a life event? Do you feel completely stuck and like you need guidance getting back on track or, reinventing your life?
There’s no denying that life often presents us with our fair share of challenges, usually in the form of change. These life transitions, even the positive ones, can throw us into a tailspin and leave us feeling stressed, confused and vulnerable. But with the right tools and mindset, you have the power to not only overcome any adversity but also transform into a more authentic and confident version of yourself.
Change Can be Beneficial
Change, even difficult change that is neither wanted or expected, can influence personal growth. Change gives us the opportunity to see what we’re made of; to become stronger, more confident, and better prepared for what life throws at us next. With each new challenge, we develop new personal skills and obtain a greater awareness of ourselves, our family and our communities.
