Life is full of changes, and we often find ourselves faced with the need to adapt to new conditions - be it changes in our personal life, at work or in society.
However, although change is inevitable, many of us face difficulty in perceiving and accepting these changes.
How to learn to maintain inner balance during times of uncertainty? Psychologist Ksenia Matur will help us figure this out.
Accept the fact that change is inevitable
Whether we like it or not, changes have happened, are happening and will always happen. We do not live in a vacuum, the world is changing - we are changing too. Even physiologically we are changing - we are growing, the color of our hair, the condition of our body and skin are changing, so this is an inevitable and irreversible process. Also, you should not try to return everything to how it was - it is simply impossible.
Prepare for change where possible
For example, it's winter now, and spring will inevitably come, it will get warmer - you will need clothes and shoes for the season. How can you prepare? Buy clothes and shoes in advance, tires for the car for the season, etc. It often happens that people start to freak out when the season changes or other circumstances change. If you are prepared for them, there will be no stress, and you will calmly accept the changes.
Allow yourself to experience different feelings and emotions
If you are angry or upset by the changes that are happening, allow yourself to be angry or cry. It is normal to experience feelings. Find a place and ways to live your anger and sadness. Beat a pillow, scream, tear paper, draw spontaneous chaotic pictures, cry.
Find ways to manage stress
This can be quality rest, sleep, tasty and healthy food, walks in the fresh air, sports, breathing exercises, yoga, swimming pool, seaside vacations, sunbathing, hobbies and interests, dancing. Choose for yourself what helps you recover and relax, and use these methods for rest and self-help on a regular basis. It is also very important that stress and anxiety do not accumulate - rest and relax on time, take care of timely weekends and vacations.
Ask for help and support from friends and family
In any situation of changes, loved ones and like-minded people will help us to live through the range of feelings. People who will not judge you and devalue you, but on the contrary, will support you and live through these changes with you. And perhaps there are those who have gone through this experience and can give you advice or simply support you with their positive conclusion to the situation.
Try to plan your life
Even a rough plan for life or the near future will allow you to be more stable and understand the course along which to sail through life. The main thing is to remember that everything can change, and adjust the plan as it is implemented. Accept changes and make adjustments to your life plan.
