I am sure many of us have experienced dramatic changes in our lives in one way or another. Some changes, or new circumstances, may have been melodramatic whilst others may possibly have been dull or lifeless.

Either way, we face many changes in our lives, whether we like it or not and whether we like the changes or not. Change, as time goes by, is inevitable and predestined to happen. We can either adapt to it and benefit from it or we can ignore it and get left behind.

I once had a 65 year old lady as a client who felt it was time to expand her designer knitwear business. She had been selling her items at exhibitions, in galleries, through the classified sections in the newspapers and magazines.

“I now have to accept that the Internet is the way to progress and expand my business,” she explained. “I understand and admit that the Internet is a worldwide marketing tool that I can no longer ignore.”

She came to see me because she was ‘scared’ of computers. She believed that she lacked the courage and confidence to enter into the complex and unfamiliar world of ‘click here and click there’ as she humorously put it.

We spent the next few sessions gradually tackling her confidence. She slowly ventured out of her comfort zone by doing a couple of daily tasks designed to familiarise her with the computer. Within a short span, she was able to send emails, search the web and even write blogs.

For you to accept and incorporate change, consider one adjustment or modification in any area of your life that you are resisting that you may transform to improve your life.
