"True life is lived when tiny changes occur." – Leo Tolstoy
Change is an inevitable part of life. It can be scary, difficult and usually painful.
Change can be extremely daunting at times. It can make us feel very uncomfortable, and quite often we might be tempted to resist change and stay within our comfort zones. By doing this, we limit our potential, and that prevents us from moving forward in life.
If we look at the world around us it is in constant change, from the seasons to the day and night. Change is literally a fundamental part of existence and we all experience loss and grief at some stage of our life.
Yet as humans we cling to familiarity and resist the change that is inevitable. We loathe the changes that ultimately we must come to accept and make meaning from.
Counselling invites you to make peace with your predicament, helping you move away from being a victim and begin taking responsibility for yourself, challenging you to live the best life you can.
I always say to my clients: "Trust and surrender."
You really need to find a way to trust.
Our minds are not going to be able to understand what we’re going through. They’re trying to make mathematical equations out of something that really doesn’t fit into that category. It’s really all about, "Okay, life is offering me this present moment. How can I trust it without needing to understand the why or the when, or the how?"
How can I just surrender to it?
Surrender to the beating of the waves, to the beating of the winds, to the currents, and you’ll come out.
