I understand that change is a necessary part of life. I mean, life would be pretty boring if everything stayed the same all the time. But when I really started to try to get to the root of my problem, I found that I didn't hate change; I was afraid of it.
If there is one thing in this world that scares me beyond all reason, it's uncertainty. I am a planner, a list-maker, someone who is always prepared and in control. So when all of my certainty is gone or something changes, I don't always know what is going to happen next or how it'll affect me. And it scares the hell out of me.
But after my accident, I realized that life is short and sweating the small stuff really isn't worth it. Worrying about change is only going to make it worse, so I might as well just roll with the punches. Because of my life as an army wife, my plans and life are always changing and it's been causing me extreme amounts of stress and fear. But instead of letting my fear of change run my life, I've decided that I'm going to accept whatever life throws at me and do my best to accept change rationally and calmly.
Wish me luck!
My Upcoming Changes:
- My university
- Where I'll live
- My job
- My friends
My life is literally being flipped upside-down very quickly and I'm sure that it'll all be okay, as long as I have a good attitude about it. And if it doesn't come right away, I'll just keep trying.
Any progress is good progress, right?
Are you afraid of change? Any advice on how to deal with it?
