Embracing change. Sometimes you can control the change that is happening. Sometimes you can’t. Often you can’t. When something is in movement it is hard to mold it into your own desire. Some see that as exciting.

Not knowing the outcome can be invigorating or a relief. I can’t say I’m one of those people. Change in a plan? Hate it. Change in my routine? Stressful. People moving, child getting sick, daylight savings time, a loved show getting cancelled? Not for me.

But not all change is bad. And dare I say, all change can be GOOD. At least for me it can. Every time a change is presented to me I have an opportunity to respond. I have an opportunity to embrace the change. In embracing the change I’m actually giving myself more control than denying it. Sounds strange doesn’t it?

If I deny the change it doesn’t stop it from happening. But if I find some way, even small, to embrace the change I can quickly figure out how to accept it into my life and come out empowered.
