“If there was no Change, there would be no butterflies.”

There are four phases of CHANGE that people commonly move through when facing Change.When we understand these four phases of Change we can deal more effectively and have more self awareness of our actions and behaviour.

* Phase 1. DENIAL
We go through withdrawl and focus on the past.

*Phase 2. RESISTANCE
We need to be prepared to see anger, blame, anxiety and depression. Be aware to how you can effectively deal with resistance. Express your feelings and listen to your inner voice about why you are feeling this.

* Phase 3. Exploration
Possibly be confusion, over preparation, chaos and energy and a lack of focus. To explore set short term goals and channel your energy and focus.

*Phase 4. Commitment & Connections
Being committed and connecting with others will improve your focus. Looking ahead and forming long term goals and the benefits will occur as a result of the shift.

The Benefits of Change

  1. Personal Growth – You learn & grow new things every time something Changes
  2. Flexibility – Frequent changes make you easily adapt to new situations, new environment, and new people. As a result we can deal better with unexpected shifts.
  3. Improvements – We all have things in our lives we’d like to improve. We do things differently to make that happen. Without Change, there would be no improvement.
  4. Life Values -From time to time changes make you re-evaulate your ;life and look at things from a different perspective.
  5. The Snowball Effect – We often give up because we cannot accomplish the difficult task of making huge and immediate Change. That is when small changes will eventually lead you to the desired big one.
  6. Strength – Not all changes lead you to pleasant periods of life. Unfortunately we all have ups and downs and sad thing can happen or not to plan. Overcoming the tough will make you stronger.
  7. Progress – Changes trigger progress. Things move forward and develop because of them.
  8. Opportunities – One never knows what each change may bring. When you turn from your usual path there will be plenty of different opportunities will be there for you. Changes will bring new choices for happiness and fulfilment.
