Change is usually something that happens to someone, and not a change that someone wishes. If it comes from within, the change is for something healthy, a better looking body, borned of a fitness kick. Or looking good in terms of cosmetics like makeup or some new way of skincare. For what is makeup for but to cover the skin and give an illusion of a smooth complexion.
If Change is happening to someone it isn’t always a good thing for them – job loss, a loss of a love one, a loss of limb or some loss of living tissue in their person. If this is what is happening then one has to cope as best they can. Losing a job one can find another job and it may take time, and usually one has to find a temporary employment. In my case, I went to work for a department store. If it is a loss of a loved one, then one has to cope with last things – getting the body put into the ground and remembering them with a headstone. One has to let them be and remember that Jesus said, Let the dead bury the dead. Then if it is a loss of vital tissue, one needs to understand what made that happen. If it’s a bad appendix it needs to be taken away, and if it’s more deadly like cancer one has to weigh the ins and outs of chemotherapy and find an informed opinion. One can’t wallow in depression about any of these because it will decrease the will to live and thrive. We can’t all be walking around looking glum. One thing that I did when I lost a parent (she was a step-parent) was to get back to work and plunge into the job as good as I could, knowing that this will distract me from mourning. As it turns out the step-parent was not good and in the focus of time that evolved since she passed away, this memory of her life is now in a bad memory bank somewhere not to be deficited in any way by my trying to dredge up a memory which was a false on. One can also think of doing other things to put up a new schedule that had a void left by the loss – going for a new hobby, or going back to school to learn what’s new, or even adopting a pet to fill the void of not having anyone to take care of. In my case I adopted three pets at first to find some means of companionship due to the loss of this stepmother. The pets are good because they owe their lives to you – you are their god, and they get their food and water and shelter in their ‘furever home’.
You have to decide whether you want to sit and brood or whether you need some fresh air into your life and find a new focus to see what talents that have lain dormant in your life and past.
Resurrect these talents and accept what you create as an expression of your psyche. You’ll be happy you did.
