As we move forward in life, we face various changes; we have to let go of some past experience in order to keep moving with a flow of life. Change is certain, we all have to accept it and learn to anticipate it, which often becomes a major cause of depression and sorrow for many of us.
But we all endowed with an amazing power of our brain, we can indeed train our mind to handle change with an ease through few simple exercises.
Let’s dig into few amazing ways to force a mindset shift.
1. Notice at least 3 changes in a day and anticipate them
Create a practice of noticing at least 3 changes in a day and their positive effects on you and the people around you. By making an effort to observe the positive effect so changes for your personal, professional and social life, you will train your brain to acknowledge and look at the change as an opportunity for growth
2. Develop a practice of writing
Writing your experiences each day will help you acknowledge changes in more positive ways. Just think about the time you joined the first job, leaving your first job, leaving good colleagues behind might have been painful. But you accepted the change, you went ahead for a new job, and gradually you met more good people in life. When you’ll write each and every experience, you will notice how these changes helped you grow in life.
3. Learn to meditate
Another way to strengthen the muscle of your mindset and embrace change in life is to learn and practice meditation. Spending time alone for 10 minutes in a day to observe the things around, analyze the things deeply brings you a deeper sense of acceptance and adds optimist approach in your life. You can also choose apps like headspace app, which helps you develop a stronger practice of meditation as a beginner.
4. Imagine the inescapable
Almost everything in the world eventually becomes obsolete. Try to imagine how and why the life you are experiencing currently will become outdated; maybe your relationship, you job, your liking or disliking or anything. While discovering the answers, you will get to know and understand that everything in life requires a change in order to do away the drabness. When you’ll imagine the things this way, you eventually will become more innovative and will embrace the changes cheerfully.
5. Make your personal growth a priority
Working on own development in this hectic and fast moving pace of life is incredibly challenging. But this is the only way to stay positive, embrace change and manage the unwanted stress of everyday life. A spiritual practice, meditation, yoga, or just a self - examining will help you embrace change and take you to the path of your own growth.
6. Accept that change will happen with or without you
Accept that time is precious as it keeps flowing away, life is short as the number of good or bad experiences we encounter in different stages of life and the number of gifts universe has stored for us at different phases of life are more than the total numbers of years we live. Every beginning of idea has its own life cycle and an expansion. And when the idea expands, change becomes a natural process and a necessary part of the cycle. The change will happen, whether you accept or not, so let’s accept and embrace it.
7. Learn to positively accept and love the present
Another way to embrace change is to accept the situations and people you have at present. Holding on means believing that there is a past, while letting go is knowing that there is a beautiful future waiting for us. In order to forget old memories, you need to make new one, and we only create new memories when we are willing to give it a chance.
8. Embrace the sense of detachment
We are more likely to get attached to the things, in which more time and effort have been invested, even if we know that walking away is the sounder choice. Don’t let the fear of losing the things you’ve invested in guide your decision making. Learn to keep moving on while keep forging newer paths to experience.
