CHANGE
Welcome to the first of a series on CHANGE.  Would you agree that you and those in your life are experiencing unforeseen changes?  This first issue will outline the eight points of change.

8 Points of Change

1. Change is a constant
2. Change is thrust on us or we initiate it
3. Change is often beyond our control
4. Change can produce fear which can freeze us
5. Change can toss us upside down
6. Change is accompanied by stress
7. Change is often accompanied by denial
8. Change seen positively is an OPPORTUNITY


EXERCISE
This week, I invite you to reflect on one unexpected or major change in your life that you turned into a great opportunity. Share your success with someone and of course, you can always share your reflection with me.
