There are ways you can cope with change and regain your strength. Firstly, ask yourself, what’s the worst that can happen? We are often scared of change before we are afraid of uncertainties. A good way to deal with them is to think things through carefully. Imagine all the different scenarios and then decide your good and bad case.

What else you can do to deal with change effectively is to ask yourself how much you can control. Understanding your situation and what you can do really help you keep with change. For example, if you just shifted to a new home, there are many things you can do to adjust to it. Despite your panic, it’s better to make a to-do list and dust off the tasks.

Lastly, accept and reframe. If the unwanted change is beyond your control, try taking a positive and logical approach. Accept the situation and think of ways to get out of it.

It’s ok to feel overwhelmed if the change you face is really big or too much change is happening at once. The best seek is to ask for support and engage yourself in different activities.
