Change is one of those life circumstances that is not a matter of if, but when change will happen in our lives. With normal change we are able to predict and control more easily the potential out-comes of normal change such as recognizing change in the season were entering or leaving. Society has planned changes such as holiday seasons and times that students go back to school. Uncontrolled change however, tends to be more difficult to deal with because we are wired for control and routine. Sometimes, when too much uncontrolled change is happening in our lives it leaves us overwhelmed such as the global pandemic that has caused much turmoil in our personal and professional lives. Uncontrolled change can happen swiftly and suddenly and may include the loss of connection with family and friends, death of a loved one, a break up or divorce, finding yourself unemployed, taking a scary bus ride around people sneezing and coughing, having to take online education when you learn better in a classroom environment and so on. All of these situations of instant change can decrease our ability to healthily cope with life and increase personal anxiety, depression, anger, and stress. Undealt with for too long and we might be risking our ability to lead happy and healthy lives full of joy, hope and peace.
