Changes - Are Not The End Of The World

Changes Are Not The End Of The World


In life we grow, we experience events, trauma's, graduations, birth of children, marriage, etc. The one thread which binds together these situations is change. Change is not a bad word. Change is a healthy means of moving into a new phase, place, and personal growth. Without change nothing moves, and things stay the same. It is up to us with disorders to acknowledge this function as a normal process to life.

But, change cannot be done with duress, or in a chaotic situation(s). Change is a slow, natural progression, not a speedy, or distortion laden to this process. The key component is the need to make sure that one is residing in a healthy place. Draw strength from bonds, and truth from relationships that are respectful of the boundaries we set.

Change is paramount in helping us seek out and experience what we need to learn, and grow from. It motivates me at a deep level because I reside in a place that is positive, and constructed with safe outlets I can go to, along with having good personal boundaries. 

There are two types of change, (1)outward what we see from the physical manifestations (seasons, age, buildings closing, streets renamed), whereas (2)internal is the feelings, knowledge, inner truths, and dialog we have within ourselves. There is absolutely nothing wrong feeling anxious for wanting something to be done, this is usually a knee jerk apparatus that hints at something within we haven't accepted yet. Which brings back the prior post about acceptance, this is so fundamentally important to have down first.

Change is where I think we gain insight, strength, and character. Bipolar and change are somewhat at odds as to whether trust, and go with the flow. For me I want it to be on my terms, and this is not always very productive. It takes a lot of strength for me to acknowledge when I'm in way over my head, and though I've become accustomed to evolving within, there are situations that often remind me of where I was, been, and what I was thinking. Thanks for reading.
