 Great Quote!

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it.  Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.  Life is either a daring adventure or nothing."

How to Thrive in the Whitewaters of Change

by Christina Kunkle, CTA Certified Life Coach, R.N.

Do you struggle to maintain personal balance, energy and focus in the midst of the swirling changes around you?  Does it seem like life is moving faster with much more required of you in less time?  In today's economy and with modern technology at our fingertips, it seems the natural ebb and flow of life has given way to continuous white water, testing our endurance and inner strength.

If at times you feel you're in rough surf, you're not alone.  Retired seniors even feel the pressure of having to do more in less time when services that once provided a personal touch suddenly require you to recall a PIN code in only a matter of seconds.

The truth is, life moves quickly and change happens.  Whether it's a sudden loss of a home or person, a new job, the ups and downs of chronic illness, or dealing with another kind of transition, we all encounter the choppy waters of change. Whether we give up in exhaustion, barely stay afloat or thrive in the midst depends on our ability to adapt in healthy ways.  I invite you to take a deep breath and bring to mind 3 changes you're in the midst of right now.  Jot them down at the top of a blank piece of paper.  Don't be surprised if you have many different thoughts and a flood of emotions that come with them.  Be honest and dig deep:  How do you feel? For example, you may be overwhelmed, anxious, scared, or angry.  (Even after a positive change, like a promotion at work, there may be sadness mixed in with your excitement.)  You'll be relieved to know most of us fear change, find it stressful, and at times question our ability to cope.  Fear would often stop me in my tracks until I learned how to trade "frazzled" in for calm energy.

It is my intention that these 5 tips will offer fresh perspective to help you embrace change with more grace and ease.  So instead of being anxious when in unchartered waters, you can ride on top of the wave; with a flexible, positive, and resilient attitude towards your work and life.  Click link to Enjoy the rest of "How to Thrive in the Whitewaters of Change" or to print the 5 "Synergy Success Tips"  for easy reference.
