Keep calm and look around…
How do you keep calm in the midst of change? It’s certainly a skill to be cultivated.
Why?
Well, life is full of unexpected twists, and sudden changes can feel overwhelming. This weekend we’ve got another big snowstorm coming here in the Northeast. Many of my friends and neighbors are planning for that now.
It’s not a sudden change per se, but it’s disrupting life and requiring lots of adjustments.
Change is happening all the time. Whether it’s a last-minute work shift, an abrupt schedule change, or an unforeseen challenge, handling the situation effectively is well within your power.
How do you react when confronted with a sudden (or maybe not-so-sudden) shift in your world? Following are some ideas to help you keep calm and navigate changes with ease.
Keep Calm and Carry On:
1. Pause and Breathe
When unexpected changes happen, your initial reaction might be stress or panic. Take a moment to pause and focus on your breathing. Deep breaths help lower stress levels and allow you to think clearly before responding to the situation.
2. Reframe Your Perspective
Instead of seeing the change as a problem, try viewing it as an opportunity. Ask yourself, “What can I learn from this?” or “How can I adapt?” Shifting your mindset from resistance to acceptance makes it easier to embrace change with a positive outlook.
3. Focus on What You Can Control
Not everything is within your control, and that’s okay. Identify the aspects of the situation you can influence and focus on those. Taking small, manageable steps can make you feel more grounded and less overwhelmed.
Sudden changes are inevitable, but your response is within your power. When you keep calm, shift your perspective, and focus on what you can control, you navigate with much greater confidence and ease.
