Probably the normal
method people use to face bad changes, which
is considered to be a proactive way of dealing with it, is to resist to them. The
problem is that there is a law of change: any
change to which you resist, will grow even more.
Probably the best
method people could use to face bad
changes is to increase their own resilience, that is, by being an agent of
change.
The way of doing it is
quite simple (in writing):
- I notice a change that is happening would have a bad effect for me or my community.
- Instead of fighting or fleeing, I fly… I start to increase my resilience by accepting this is happening and understanding it.
- I also start to have inner experiences by contemplating, reflecting or meditating; in this way, I look for self-empowerment.
- I start a change that will help to work against this bad change. It may be my attitude or an interesting plan that will involve others.
- I cooperate with others, by creating a powerful network and I help others to increase their own resilience too.
To put that into practice
requires some energy and focus, but it is much better way to reacting to
situations.
Besides, you will experience
being the leader of your own self, instead of being led by situations from
which you are not taking benefit.
