Change can occur by choice or suddenly and dramatically. Either way when change happens it is for our best. These changes provide us with the “opportunity” to move forward in life. How can this be an opportunity in our life when the change is dramatic and sudden? Well a dramatic forced change allows us the chance to fully re-examine life. For instance, a sudden death can assist us with reviewing our world as we move through the grieving process. When change is by choice we can experience new and exciting things. When the change is forced we discover things about ourselves that lead us into new directions. These new directions are where we learn about our resilience and ability to make it through.
When faced with change it is essential to move through the emotion of the moment as an important first step. Speaking with a therapist, counsellor, grief groups or friends assists with this process. Understanding that everyone of us needs help when we are faced with difficult moments is central in the healing process.
Whether by choice or forced upon us, when we take the initiative towards steps of growth within the moment we are unable to uncover new ways to live our life. We may find the option to work on our inner self which can bring about changes you never knew were possible.
When my husband passed away suddenly it was the most devastating moment I have encountered thus far in my life. In order to move through this moment I made the choice to first focus on the blessing of the moment for me. His loved ones (Iand his very good friends)were with him when he suddenly passed. I used this silver lining within a dark moment to propel me forward. In the beginning I felt like I wanted to find another husband because I was afraid to move forward alone. I thought I was not enough on my own however I learned through grief counseling, therapy, and the support of my friend network that I was enough and that I could not only survive I could thrive.
Every situation is not the same and some of us may not have the tools available to assist us through our moments or change. Here at the Level Up Concern I want to create a community where you can find the tools and assistance you need to make change possible.
When we are not regularly working on evolving in life it is easy to become stagnant in all aspects of life.
Take this journey with me as I provide you with information I have found that will assist you with achieving consistent and persistent changes in your life.
