Ready or not, change comes!

How do you keep from drowning when life hits you unexpectedly with great loss?

How do you keep from spinning out of control when something positive comes your way?

I unpack five A's to keep you on course, whether you're adjusting to painful or positive circumstances that caught you by surprise. You'll see how to:

Act, not react.

Accelerate goals, modify them, or let them go.

Adjust your priorities, but not your principles.

Avoid the temptation to package a Tiffany gift in a Target box.

Ask for help and be aware of who to avoid.

The idea that enough pain motivates change is dangerous. While sufficient pain might prompt a person to change, it might also keep them from changing. Why?

Because pain can migrate from being an experience to becoming an identity.

Young women today are especially wrestling with this because significant and ongoing anxiety has become the "norm." While we want to bring empathy and compassion to this issue, are we promoting the very problem we want to solve by failing to bring truth?

I explore change and a specific application to the issue of anxiety in today's episode.
