How Are You Dealing with Change?
 

Change is inevitable. As the Chinese proverb says, “The one thing we can always count on is change.”  As I have spent many years studying Eastern philosophy and the cycles of nature through the ancient Chinese “nature science” of Feng Shui, I have come to learn the one thing we can always count on is change. The Bible states, “And this too shall pass.”

Our greatest challenge comes when we choose to resist change. There can be pain associated with change, and when that happens, many resist, drag their feet, and desperately attempt to hold on to the present, making things worse. Change is going to happen with or without you. How do you handle change?

Everyone has experienced a relationship separation: the loss of a good friend, spouse, child, and/or loved one, whether it is through death, divorce, a child getting married or going off to college, or just a difference of opinion between friends. Many have experienced a job loss. Others have experienced change when moving from their home. Some have had their experiences displayed in public view as did John Travolta in the loss of his son; Jennifer Aniston with her breakup with Brad Pitt, and Ed McMahon when he nearly lost his home when he was facing foreclosure.

The secret of dealing with change is accepting the pain and knowing that you are not alone. The key to reaching your passionate life is to acknowledge that you are feeling sad or in pain. Allowing the tears to flow or the anger to be released will allow you to stop holding on and clears the toxic feelings within. As if you have the flu or a hangover with symptoms that cause you to feel terrible until your body decides to throw up suddenly and you feel better almost immediately. Allowing yourself to bring up your hidden emotions by crying, or taking a drive in the car alone where you can scream, gives you the relief that is necessary.

For over 30 years I have been studying the effects of the brain’s makeup and the individual’s brain chemistry and how it influences our ability to cope with stress. Change often causes tension and anxiety. Increased stress leads to illness.

If you’re looking for stress reducers, consider amino acids. Amino acids affect the neurotransmitters in the brain. If the neurotransmitters in the brain are not working properly, you may experience more anxiety, be impulsive, crave carbohydrates (the comfort food which in turn puts on weight), or be more irritable and edgy. Learn more about amino acids and how they help children with ADD or anxiety, how they help reduce cravings for food and drugs, provide energy, assist with sharper thinking and motivation and promote a restful night’s sleep. The Chinese teach that if you get a good night’s sleep your life will be more successful and prosperous because good health leads to wealth with patience and clear thinking.
