Happy Fall! We’ve moved into the season where Mother
Earth focuses on letting go and preparing for change. Fall provides a welcome
break from the heat of summer and an indication that change is coming. As little
goblins and ghouls come out for Halloween and leaves in hues of yellow, orange,
and red flutter to the ground, we’re reminded that our lives also follow nature’s
cycles.
Just as leaves release from their branches, we also
have the opportunity to let go. Fall is the perfect time to consider any
behaviors, emotions or undertakings that no longer serve us. When we eliminate that
which holds us back, we open space for something new.
Like the earth prepares for winter, we too can prepare
for change. Change is a constant in our lives. Things are always
changing…sometimes this change is big, sometimes it’s small. Regardless of the
magnitude, change can be scary or exciting. It’s all about perspective and choice.
We can choose fear or we can choose to embrace uncertainty and change.
Fear keeps us stuck in the same place while embracing
uncertainty allows us to learn, grow, and evolve through change.
5 Easy Ways to Embrace Uncertainty & Change:
1. Acknowledge
habits,
behaviors, and/or actions that aren’t working. By identifying, accepting, and
releasing that which no longer serves us, we can create space for something new
and nourishing.
2. Learn
and Grow. In The Ten Commitments Dr. David Simon states,
“This planet is a school for evolution of the soul.” Take advantage of the
learning, growth, and evolution opportunities that come with change.
3. Positivity.
Most changes have at least some positive aspect—the proverbial silver lining—so
fully embrace and celebrate the positives.
4. Expect
Success! Although humans are wired to instinctively fight or
flee change, when we reflect on prior changes, more often than not the outcomes
have been positive. Expect the same with forthcoming changes.
5. Surround
Yourself with Change Agents. Spending time with individuals who
are positive and open to new experiences can help us successfully navigate
through change.
Let’s take a hint from nature—Release behaviors and
actions that no longer serve us and create space for positive change in our
lives!
