Dealing with Change

If I was able to create a list of things that I dislike, change would be on the top of my list. Nothing makes me more uncomfortable than the thought of unexpected change. I get into habits, and then have difficulty breaking them. My routines are comfortable.

Some changes are good; getting a new job (with a raise!) or getting accepted into a great college. But even good change comes with anxiety. New places have new directions that need to be memorized and new people to meet and new routines to get into. But that comes with the territory and the anxiousness that goes along with it can be overcome.
The type of change that is the most difficult to deal with is the unexpected change that is bad. Being laid off from a job, breakups, or losing an apartment can really burst your bubble and take time to recover from. Change that is the most difficult to deal with is change that we do not have control over. The loss of control can be quite daunting for many of us. It might sound like a cliché but when confronting serious issues in life, try to remain positive. Being let go from a job is never something that someone hopes for; but may provide an opportunity to reevaluate career goals.
