The one thing we can seem to count on, is that life changes whether we want it to or not. In fact, sometimes it feels as though the changes far outweigh the status quo, especially in 2020. Even without a global pandemic, changes in life are continuous, every day some encounter or experience can shift our thinking whether infinitesimally or profoundly. Just the passing of time presents changes invisible on a daily basis but over a decade or more, we realize the change can be significant. How often do we look at our children and wonder where did the time went or we reach our 25- year anniversary in the job we were only intending on staying in for two years!
Change is constant. Change is a given. Change happens whether we welcome it or want to run from it. The good news is that how we react to change can profoundly shape the experience and at the centre of what can sometimes feel like a turbulent sea we can, with awareness and practice find a sense of calm – within ourselves [through mindfulness]. Often we look outside ourselves especially when things are not going the way we had planned, hoped or wanted.
