CHANGE

The inevitable change...

Life never stays the same, we might just go from one day to the other living it like a routine.

However, there is a bigger force acting upon us every single second altering our life bit by bit.

We might often complain about mundane activities even though the people around us,the weather and we ourselves are becoming different from what we were.

Yet when you are hit by a situation that looks entirely different from the past, you realize how difficult it is to adapt to new changed living. Change of location,job,attachment  and losses being the top ones.

The changes that impact you emotionally are the hardest ones to cope with. They have the power to drive you sad.

My Mom has shared the unbeatable formula to make your way through these changes - it is rather simple "Let life happen to you" .

It starts with not letting yourself think about the change itself but rather concentrating on the routine task.

Work/Gym/Cooking/Cleaning everything mechanical , keeping emotions - negative thoughts afar .Every time u start with "oh but why me...??"Hush hush hush and move along. Get that task on your to do list done, before thinking more. It is really mind control , very much what meditation teaches. Focusing on one thing vs the other. It takes time to accept the change itself and getting back to the positive zone, use your routine tasks as the transition phase.

Then gradually look for things that make you feel happy, could be setting fitness targets, could be getting appreciation for a new dish you cooked ...those little things will get your smile back and gradually you will accept the change you had originally gone through.

For all we know, the change you dreaded so much, might turn out to be the one moment that will impact your life, leading you to pleasant thing/things you always desired. 

A little spiritual aspect - our journey of life is like a car travelling on a road at night.What we see is the next 200m of the path because of the headlight .The bumpy road ahead that we see ,makes us feel horrible ,though we have no clue how the rest of the road is.The complete path of your life, your destination is all well planned .Trust that it might eventually be great  ...let this 200m /the phase of change pass. You have an amazing next phase in the waiting - only for YOU !
