Do you seek changes in your life, or does change happen to you? 

The past few weeks have been rugged.  On the heels of submitting my book manuscript,  IG made announcements about turning the platform into a ️ “video and shopping” channel. ️ It threw me for a loop, and I had to quickly pivot and recover.

Today a family member passed away.  It was anticipated, but even when we expect something like this, it sets a lot of things in motion including behaviors you don’t expect.h ⚙️

In thinking about uninvited changes, I found a resource. A book by M.J. Ryan called Adaptability: How to Survive Change You Didn’t Ask For. It talks about adaptability and how to master it. She made an important point: “Change isn’t the enemy—fear is.”  When you stop to think of it that way, you realize it’s true.

She says there are four steps we can take to help us adapt in the future: 

 Acceptance

 Expand your options

 Taking action

 Strengthen adaptability

It reminds me of a saying – there’s no use worrying about things you can’t change .

Do you ever think about how you impact others,  and how your absence would affect them? 

Wishing you all safe and peaceful weekends. ☮️
