How should one deal with changes in life?
Several key ideas to keep in mind when starting from scratch in our lives through changes.
Changes constitute one of the most relevant aspects in the existence of any human being, and it is evident that as such they deserve to be faced.and it is evident that as such they deserve to be faced.
Throughout our lives, we often feel the need to break with ourselves; we find in our mind an incessant voice repeating "you need a change", and these words chase us and urge us repeatedly, as if it were a commandment.
When this happens, most of the time we consciously repress this demand within us, and on other occasions, on the other hand, we realize that this voice in our interior is a voice in our heart, and that we need to change, we realize that this voice is actually right and we choose to satisfy its request. and we choose to satisfy its request.
And it is precisely at this point that the fundamental theme of this article begins to take shape: the need for a change in our lifeor - better said - of what is usually called colloquially the moment to start from scratch.
What does starting from scratch imply?
Actually, we never start from scratch, because we have no choice but to take with us the baggage of experiences that we have developed over the course of our days throughout our days and years.
Despite this element, which we cannot ignore, we can of course also consider - and consequently carry out - such a renewal of our life, either by changing our place of residence because we believe it no longer belongs to us, or by cutting off a romantic relationship in which we feel trapped, or simply by making a global return to our professional career if it no longer satisfies us.
Psychological processes involved
But... How can we deal with these changes? First and foremost we must approach them with the maximum courage we are capable of.. Logically this is very easy to say and very difficult to do, but it is really basic, because without courage there is no risk and without risk it is difficult to innovate.
Courage, as is evident, is strictly linked to inner strength and self-confidence; these are also fundamental aspects that we must take care of with total dedication when considering a vital change.
This premise does not imply at all that we cannot allow ourselves to doubt or falter in our purpose of change.. On the contrary, these doubts and fragilities are part of the process and we should not set them aside or ignore them, but embrace them and insert them as necessary "ingredients" of our evolution.
A combination of fear and enthusiasm
Another instinctive emotion, which we cannot avoid along the path of renewal, is fear, but we are referring to a healthy, constructive fearnever destructive, but helpful, beneficial, useful.
It is the fear of what lies around the corner, the fear of the unknown, as it is usually called. And this peculiar type of fear is usually accompanied by a positive feeling that makes it healthy: enthusiasm..
And what is enthusiasm in this context? Basically it translates into extreme curiosity about the futureIt is the extreme curiosity for the future, for what awaits us, for the nearest and the most remote tomorrow.
This fusion of fear and enthusiasm is what usually feeds our drive for change that we talked about at the beginning of this article.
