Mindful Monday Podcast: Managing a change

Published: March 18, 2021, 1 p.m.

Change, whether big or small, is an integral part of life. Have you heard the expression, “The only constant is change.” Just because change is so common, does not make it easy, especially when faced with an unexpected or unwelcomed change. Changes that take you by surprise can be particularly difficult to navigate and are usually accompanied by a flood of emotions. It’s human nature to resist change, and the default reaction to it can be fear, doubt, and other unhelpful emotions. Mindfulness helps you to navigate and manage change in a more positive and productive way. You can learn to react to uncertainty with acceptance and become more aware of what is taking place - your emotions and reactions included.
