We were thinking about change....

Hi everyone

We were thinking about change in the last blog and I would like to share a few more thoughts and ideas around the same theme this week. Change is definitely in the air as I write, it is chilly this morning and autumn is on its way.

The problem with major life change is that it creates a lot of things that we don’t know about and the not knowing is scary, this is what makes us anxious about change I think. Our brains also don’t like loss and change can mean the loss of a loved one, loss of a job, loss of our home or relationship, all very difficult to understand and take on board. We really don’t like things we don’t understand and change brings many things that we find it difficult to get a handle on.

Change is inevitable so how best to cope? Some very good advice is to look at change as a positive thing rather than a negative, allow ourselves to feel the stress but don’t stay with that feeling, don’t dwell. Don’t fight the change. Try to see the change as a lesson, an opportunity and remember that everything passes.

Finding a healthy way to deal with our feelings helps a lot. Exercise, physical activity, yoga and meditation can all help us to feel better in ourselves and help us see the change in a more positive frame of mind. Self reflection time allows us to take a step back and see the possibilities the change can offer, perhaps self growth, increased self awareness or being more able to work in line with our purpose on the planet.

Scary at first, changes in life can’t be avoided so let’s try to embrace them and find the positive. If we find that we are stuck in a difficult place and the changes are just too overwhelming then have a word with a homeopath. Homeopathy is very good when we become bogged down with emotion and can’t find a way forward. Don’t let change get you down.

Approach of autumn...

Hi everyone

There are leaves on the paths in the park and there is a distinct chill in the air. Everything points to change for us all with the approach of autumn.

The children have gone back to school and families are adjusting to the new school term. Students will be on their way to college and university soon may be leaving an empty nest but certainly a big space in family life. Change for everyone involved.

We all face change at some point in our life and how we deal with that change can be very important for our health. I recently read a book by Dr Spencer Johnson called ‘Who Moved My Cheese?’ subtitled ‘An Amazing Way to Deal with Change in your Work and in your Life’. It only took about an hour to read but within the story there are very helpful and useful ideas and tips on how to approach and manage change.

Inability to adapt to change can cause health problems. If you feel you need some help adapting to a new situation then don’t leave it too long before you look for advice.

Check out next my blog next week where I will be putting together a few ideas of how to deal with change. For homeopathic help if you feel stuck give me a call 07967 276336.
