When change is happening to you- how much chill do you have?
Probably little to none.
Don’t worry, you’re not alone.
Change seems not very chill, but
It’s helpful to remember that change takes TIME.
It takes a bit for us to get accustomed to change.
It takes time to feel OK with change.
It takes a bit for us to become comfortable with change,
To know that we are OK and safe,
Despite the change happening around us.
Think about when you started driving a car.
How hard it seemed at first.
How many things there were to think about at the same time.
How it seemed so scary b/c you could kill someone.
Even though I wanted to drive, I remember thinking I didn’t really like that responsibility.
Now we get into our cards & practically check out until we mindlessly arrive at our destination.
We don’t think about how to drive the car, how to get where we’re going…
We even automatically step on the break from the passenger seat when we’re in a car that someone else is driving.
This is how second nature driving becomes.
So, the next time something changes, see that you can create more chill.
You could pick a timeframe & decide not to worry about it until one month, three months, or six months from now.
Give it some time first…
Then, see if you need to be upset and worried about it and go from there.
