What We See, We Can Change!

 

WHAT we see, we can CHANGE.  Sounds like one of those overused and overstretched slogans, right?  BUT frankly, one of the toughest and hardest nut to crack in life is pushing for CHANGE.  In fact, many times in our life, we end up in situations WHERE we simply DON'T want to CHANGE.  I would admit that I was guilty of that a zillion times.  WHY OH WHY?  Those times WHEN everything was shining and dandy.  Those times WHEN the seas were calm.  Those comfort zones💚💛💜

Please DON'T get me wrong though.  It DOESN'T mean I was turning a blind eye of WHAT needs to be rightly done.  OR that I'm simply giving up.  OR that it ISN'T painful enough to go through that dilemma.  Fact of the matter is that we are still allowed to feel however we feel, BUT by accepting that it is WHAT it is, you give the problem less power over you, enough for you to progressively move on💧💧💧

Psychologists tell us that in their researches, practical radical acceptance has been shown to reduce feelings of shame, guilt, and anxiety and it can reduce distress in dealing with negative thoughts OR events💥💥💥

CHANGE practitioners [oooops, I admit I'm a Certified PROSCI Change Practitioner othat's more with regard business transformations] tell us that the very first step in accepting reality is gaining awareness that you're really resisting it.  It may seem like this would be easy to spot BUT there are actually a lot of subtle ways that people push through reality.  And if you're feeling bitter OR resentful, wishing things were different OR thinking about HOW life ISN'T fair, you might NOT realize you're fighting reality❌❌❌

Our takeaway:  One key realization I have in life is that before we can make peace with reality, we have to acknowledge that there's NO going back to the way things were [once CHANGE gets rolled up].  Doing that may be challenging and at times painful BUT by identifying WHAT you can and CAN'T control, we can turn our energy toward coping with the way we simply CAN'T CHANGE.  BUT let's size up things because WHAT WE SEE WE CAN CHANGE😀😀😀
