(upbeat music) - Hello, and welcome to the Accountability Coach podcast, where we will discuss topics, ideas, questions, and issues related to having a totally balanced and successful life. This is Ann Baccrack. Today we're going to talk about five strategies for personal change. We live in a dynamic and progressive world that progress cannot occur without change. Your attitude towards change determines how you prepare and adjust to it. Change is inevitable. In fact, change can occur so frequently and regularly that in many cases we hardly notice it. We change our hairstyles, our fashion, our relationships, our opinions, we rearrange the furniture, the garage, all with little or no resistance. So why do some of us react like a nuclear war is pending when we are confronted with change? Familiarity with our surroundings, our friends, our relationships, and our working environment allow us to reside safely inside our comfort zone and comfort equals security. However, large changes require us to step outside our comfort zone, adapt to new patterns of behavior, and learn new techniques for survival. Change makes us uneasy, well, at least most of us. Even when a change seems logical and reasonable, we ask ourselves, why can't things remain just as they are? I liked it just the way it was, or I liked it just the way it is. But that kind of thinking is self-delusional. We all want to change, whether we admit to it or not. Sure, there are people who say they are happy the way they are, but they are not being honestly truthful with themselves. We all want to be better, faster, stronger, richer, more powerful, happier, more fulfilled, and the list goes on and on. So why then do most of us resist change? Change is just a fact of life. Progress requires change, so we must develop change strategies that reduce our resistance and allow us to view change with a positive and constructive attitude. Although the majority of us initially react to change with perhaps feelings of anxiety and disorientation, most of us are able, over time, to respond with a more favorable and positive mindset. After all, nine times out of 10, change brings about new opportunities to improve our position, our wellbeing, our environment, and our circumstances. Occasionally change is predicated by destructive, stressful circumstances like divorce or death or a natural disaster. When a catastrophic change occurs, most people require time and support to enable them to deal with the grieving process before they can adapt to the new changes that have been thrust upon them. But like our response to grief, our response to change varies depending on our inherent qualities and our attitudes. So what coping mechanisms can we put into place to ensure that we embrace change with a positive attitude and a sense of excitement and the possibilities? Here are five strategies to help you with personal change. Number one, focus on the positives. Change generally results in a positive outcome rather than focus on feelings you may be experiencing like perhaps insecurity, discomfort or anxiety, concentrate instead on how the new experience will enhance your current situation. Imagine yourself once the change has taken place and think about how good they will make you feel all these changes. Imagine yourself feeling re-energized, optimistic, excited and exhilarated. Number two, nullify those negatives. Be honest and ask yourself, what's really holding you back? What beliefs are you clinging on to which prevent you from moving forward? What's the worst possible outcome you could experience from this change? What's the worst that could happen? Once you take a realistic and logical look at the reasons why you're resisting change, you will find most of them are unrealistic and illogical. Number three, clarify your commitment. Change requires commitment and self-discipline. You won't always get it right the first time so you've got to find the strength and purpose to get back up and try it again. You'll find the reward is well worth it. Number four, look after yourself. Change, no matter how big or small, requires a healthy mind and a healthy body. Change doesn't have to occur overnight. It may take weeks, even months to make the necessary changes. Take care of yourself, eat regularly, exercise, breathe and make time to relax and acknowledge how far you've really come. Be flexible is number five. Changes don't always occur the way we imagined. You may encounter some curveballs and forks in the road, but give yourself enough latitude to readjust and expect the unexpected. Neil Maxwell said, "It is not the years, "but the changes that make us grow." Don't waste time and energy fighting the inevitable. Learn to see change as a new adventure on the road through life and embrace the future.
