In life we are always looking what’s ahead of us, we try to leave the past behind and move on. However, there are a lot of changes and challenges waiting for us, no one can figure whether they are right or wrong, they just exist and that’s what’s fun about it! Sure you can stick around, look for signs, evaluate the warnings and make a Pros and Cons list, but in life you have to take your chances because this world keeps on turning and quite literally nothing stays the same.
I star work in a completely new department tomorrow. As part of my work contract I will be spending the next 3 months in a completely new environment with completely new people and a different skill set required.
Am I terrified? No! I love change and throughout my life I’ve had to deal with it all the time! I usually follow these 3 simple steps:
1. Be open. People in your new environment will be as eager to meet you as you are to meet them. Introduce yourself to everyone and try to keep an open relationship with everyone at the beginning.
2. Be curious. Learn and explore, the best thing you can get out of a new experience is… experience! New skills, knowledge, contacts and ideas - none of these will hurt you!
3. It’s temporary. This one depends on how you live your life! I am spontaneous and hate stability and stagnation. I love to be on the move, constantly exposed to changes and new experiences. I never stick around doing the same thing or living in the same place for more than 2 years - so if you want, you can believe that every new challenge and experience is temporary!
You don’t have to feel trapped, changes can be good !!
