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. For further information on
