Change happens. Change is good. It happens everyday, and it's not going to stop. The changes we face at work and home can temporarily take us down and off our flow. How we react and adapt to our challenging times; and more importantly, how we bounce back afterwards will determine our future outcomes and attitudes. While many people resist change, there are tremendous amounts of growth and prosperity to be gained when we embrace change.

The fall season signifies many changes in our daily routines and spirits. Those lazy, hazy, fun days of summer are over. We are getting back into our fast- paced modes of school, life and work. For some, renewed energy and focus take place. For others, frustration and negativity are the norm. Which path are you choosing to take? Which one will bring you greater results and fulfillment?

Assess Yourself: How well do you bounce back?

• Do I consider myself to be an optimistic, glass 1/2 full person?


• When facing obstacles and challenges, do I brainstorm for at least three possible solutions?


• Do I accept things as they are and not question the status quo?


• Do I acknowledge and let go of what I am giving up from the change?


• Do I embrace moving out of my comfort zone and changing my routines?
• Do I ask for help, seek support and additional resources to assist me through challenging times?
• Do I appropriately say "no" and effectively set boundaries?
• Do I seek to understand the lessons to be learned from experiences?

During this change of season, fall forward not behind!

To your getting back in the groove,
