How to eliminate your fear of change

Of great help is to develop the attitude of learning from fears and unexpected bad events instead of trying to avoid them. The problems can overwhelm you, or, if you are mentally prepared in advance, can work in your favor.

It is normal to be emotionally affected when problems arise, due to the fact that we have feelings, but, nevertheless, every single hard moment of our lives should make us even stronger. One technique that can somehow help you to suffer less is to think about the worse situation you had to deal with, in the course of your life. Learning from your mistakes prepares you for the changes or less pleasant situations to come.

Imagine the positive impacts that will result after the change. See how important they are and think upon how to multiply them, by adding some other good aspects, which need certain assistance.

Also it helps to picture somebody else in your situation, as picturing ourselves in a less desirable position, always looks more dramatic than it really is. When you realize that the other person can handle the change, then you can be sure you’ll be able to handle it as well.

Now imagine the worse case that can result after the change. Can you find solutions to it? Think about how much you can loose, if the worst happened, and how important those things are to you. If you find more than one reasonable solution, that means you can successfully deal with the change.
