3 Things to Help Us Through Change
We can’t avoid it, we sometimes love it, and it often stresses us out, but there is adventure in it
I grew up in New England. Raised in Vermont, married a girl from Maine and raised our children there. New Englanders are solid, strong people. They hold on to their family heritage, and work hard to support it. Cold, wintery weather is no threat to a born and raised person from the North East. Some of them brag that they named the snow storms after them. Northeasters.
The precious folk from New England have another trait. They don’t like change. In fact, many of the elder residents resist it vigorously. I have many friends who still live in the house they were born in, (as well as their dad and there grandad). I know plenty of happy New Englanders who proudly say they have never left the State.
Resisting change can be hard work. I know, because not only have I resisted, but I have rebelled after the change occured.
Before I go any further, I must say that in this article I am talking about the changes that come along with life, as opposed to the changes which we initiate within ourselves, such as changes in habits, viewpoints, opinions, etc. Akshad Singi has a very informative article in Mind Cafe that I recommend for those types of change.
