Oddbean new post about login | logout How do you handle change?? Me not so much 🤷🏼♀️ #nostr #change
I was once told that, “the only constant in life, is change. You can either accept it or run from it”. I guess that dealing with change really depends on preemptive self-work with attachment. The less you can be attached to the present, the easier change is to accept.
I like that. It’s true that things are constantly changing whether we like it or not it’s part of life
By fighting it first, then realizing there is no use. Got to go with the flow. Big changes create growth. Adaptability, especially in these times, is a good trait to have.
I totally relate. I definitely want to fight it because it makes me anxious then I have to remind myself at times that everything happens for a reason and it’s what’s meant to be
Everything changes all the time. Not being able to or willing to change means living against life. The resistance against change is rooted in fear, a deep conditioning and happens on a subconscious level. In order to address the root causes of the conditioning I know two techniques from experience that help create awareness of subconscious reaction patterns and reprogram your mind to go with the flow of life = adapt to constant change. It's 1) Vipassana meditation and 2) the Wim Hof Method. There's no quick fix to this, it requires strong commitment, openness and willingness to honestly find out about ones inner workings. Studying the teachings of Jiddu Krishnamurti also helped me a lot. You can do this 🙏 https://www.dhamma.org/en-US/index https://www.wimhofmethod.com/
Thank you I tried the wim hoff method years ago, it’s how I got into cold showers which I now love. I definitely have to get back into meditation. I deal with change when I have to but it’s like my body fights it and causes anxiety. Something I have to work on.
Great you were doing the Wim Hof method already! In my experience, if you continue and embrace ALL of it with 100% commitment, you will see many underlying conditionings uprooted, more courage emerging and anxiety creeping up less and less. You yourself, body and mind, are changing all the time. Your surroundings, your kids, are changing all the time, minute after minute. If you deeply feel that, and gently accept this reality, you won't fight it anymore. You'll deal with change at all times, effortlessly 🙏
Thank you, I have to definitely add it more into my routine
change to most people isn't easy. The question to help you handle change is this: what life would like if you did not accept change? If you accept change, what is the implications to you? why is it important to you? If you don't accept change, what is life like? Answering these questions help you handle change! All the best 👌☺️
Thank you. Definite a good question to ask one self
I put it in my left front pocket.
This is correct.
