You Don't Hate Change

 




"You don't hate change, You hate the way people try and make you change."

This quote was said at church on Sunday and it really got me thinking, it really isn't the change part is it? I hate change, thats what I've always said. I dread change before change happens. Except thats really not the case. Going to college was a change,  getting married was a change, having baby was a change. All three of those things were choices I made and I was beyond happy about those changes. So do I really hate change? 

The preacher went on to say how we are hating the COVID guidelines and mandates (just examples) but then he pointed out that while we hate those things we love the changes that we choose. Because its not the change we hate but how people make us change. The choices we don't make ourselves or even when they are negative in some way. Just like a demotion vs. a promotion. We love the change when its a promotion but hate change when its a demotion. We don't want to be made to change. 

It makes complete sense. This is something I had never really thought about and it's something that is beyond true. Change is gonna happen. We may fuss and moan and groan but its gonna happen. WE just don't want to be made to change.  SO let's shift our focus. Yeah there's those words again. Shift our focus to something more. Stop fighting the change and see what could come out of it. Change is gonna happen. Do we really want to grumble through it? Change is gonna happen but you get to decide your actions post change and you get to decide your attitude toward it. 

This world is changing so fast! If we stop grumbling and feeling sorry for ourselves, if we stop fighting it then perhaps we can change it for the better. Guide it to a positive change instead of a negative change. We are not going to fix anything if we grumble about it. Change is inevitable. Change is life. 

Nothing will change if nothing changes.

The bad days; What caused them and what do I do?

Some days are just genuinely bad with no rhyme or reason; others are bad because I have become overwhelmed and my PTSD decides to kick and make it a little worse. Both are as equally bad and both can be a pain to try and deal with and calm myself down. This past week was good, I had a conference that aligned with my College major, it was enjoyable. However, toward the end of the conference week, When I was starting to get exhausted from the early to late days and the push I was giving myself mentally to not let the exhaustion get to me, I noticed I was starting to get more nervous. We did this one "simulation" to help us see what it was like in some peoples shoes with higher mental disorders, keep in mind this conference was to train us to interpret in the mental health field, and I figured it would be no big deal I can join in and listen to the tape...well....that was the wrong choice. I put the headphones on, started playing the tape, listened for a few minutes and then fel...

Perspective: "Some see a weed, others see a wish"

We all know the saying about whether the glass is half full or half empty and we are always told to look at things from other perspectives. Well, that's exactly what this blog post will be about. This world is full of evil and evil-doers and while I wish all of these bad things would never occur they do,  keep in mind while reading this I am not saying it's something that should be accepted, I'm simply talking about my personally perspective about MY situation and about general situations. I've learned that by changing your perspective, your life changes. You become happier and the small failures don't become overwhelming to you as they would have before. It doesn't make life perfect and it won't mean you won't have bad times or be depressed at times, but it does a lot more than people give it credit for. Theres a quote that comes up a lot that says "If you don't like something change it; if you can't change it, change the way you look at ...
