We are undergoing a big change in our lives right now.  We are moving here in San Antonio, Texas from Denver, Colorado.  You think that’s a big change?  Hubby has to change job and hopefully my little girl will do better here in an almost sea level elevation with her chronic lung problems.

It is always hard and difficult to face changes in our lives but they say that life's transitions are ultimately positive, even if they don't always feel it.  You just have to navigate through them gracefully.  Everyone experiences change--it may be a job change, relationship change, health change, or a change you've initiated that suddenly seems daunting.  If you find change difficult, you're not alone.  Many people think change is hard. But it's possible for the change you're going through to be easier, smoother, and less stressful--you can find the positive in transitions and learn to love your life more... you can become a Change Optimist.  Here’s one way how to embrace changes:

Use your Spiritual Strength

When everything is changing, it's important to find the part of yourself that doesn't change--your calm, centered, spiritual side, your higher self. It's the part that's connected to something greater and uses your intuition as a guide. You need to reconnect to it through prayer, meditation, nature, silence, or journaling...anything that helps you go back inside, where your true spirit and power reside.

While your lower self may slip into self-pity and hold grudges, your higher self doesn't allow you to become a victim, to blame someone else when things get difficult, or to get lost in anger. This side helps you shine in strength, compassion, and clarity. During change, make an effort to act from your higher self and ask: "What would the better, wiser, calmer part of me do or say or think right now?"
