9 Ways to Conquer the Fear of Change
Change can be a scary thing. When you make a change in your life, you bringyourself into the unknown. You travel from a safe place to one where you don't know
exactly what will happen.
The truth is, there is nothing you can do to stop change. This world is always changing -
sometimes for good and sometimes not. The best thing you can do for yourself is to learn
the best ways to adapt to change. You'll soon learn that there's no reason to fear!
Here is a list of strategies to conquer your fear of change:
1. Think Positive Thoughts. When you embark on a change in your life, think itthrough in a positive way. Instead of thinking about what could go wrong,
picture it all going right.
2. Learning Life Lessons. Think about some of the past changes you've gone through
in your life and include both the positive outcomes and the negative ones. Regardless
of your past, it's likely that you've learned an important life lesson. Yet, if you keep
your life stagnant, you'll lose out on the many important life lessons and experiences.
3. Write Your Thoughts Down. Writing down your innermost thoughts can provide a
similar release as confiding with a close friend. Change can be scary, but if you provide
yourself with a way to conquer the fear, you can find the courage underneath.
4. Try Hypnosis. Hypnosis and self-hypnosis techniques have been known to help
when we need to alter our thinking. Hypnosis can help you relax by feeding you
transformative thoughts.

5. Positive Motivation. If you want to get over your fear of change, you have to actually
want the change. If you do, you'll do whatever it takes to get motivated. You can do
this by reciting affirmations, writing directions down for yourself, or asking a trusted
friend or family member for help.
6. Stay in the Present. Staying in the present moment can help you conquer any fear.
It's far too easy for your mind to get caught up with regrets about the past or worries
about the future. In moments of self-doubt, focus only on whatever you're doing
at the moment. This moment is all you have, so you might as well enjoy it!
7. Break Down the Change. If you're planning a big change in your life, perhaps it will
help to break down the change into a series of smaller steps. Doing so will help you to
feel less overwhelmed if you can easily transition into a change instead of feeling
shocked and scared.
8. The Right Time. Remember that it's always the right time to change. Don't make
excuses for yourself. Believe that you can do it and go for it!
9. The Back Up Plan. When you embark on a path of change, it may be theunknown that scares you most. If possible, carefully plan through your change.
Think about all the possible scenarios and outcomes - positive or negative - then make
a plan. When you have a plan, you'll ease your fears of the unknown and feel at least a
little more comfortable with the change.
Change for the Better
Change is going to find you one way or another, so you might as well learn how to go with
the flow and learn how to let go. Sure, this is easier said than done, however, learning
how to better adapt to change can improve all aspects of your life!

Personal Reflection Exercises...

My imperfections are a part of me. I receive
them as a necessary part of my life.
My imperfections are a part of me. I
receive them as a necessary part of
my life.

I embrace my imperfections as the finely

tuned details that make me the wonderful,

unique human being that I am. If I did not

have imperfections, I would be bland,

dull, and boring.

I let go of any desire to be perfect. I know

that striving for perfection is futile and a

waste of my precious time and energy.

Besides, if I were perfect, it would
take away the very qualities that
enhance me. Why would I ever want to

do that?

My imperfections bring me the joy of

learning and discovery. From time to time,

I even find new talents and strengths

within me that I never knew I had and find

fulfillment in developing them. If I were

perfect, none of these experiences would

exist.

It is my imperfection that brings love
into my life. People who love me do so

because of my unique blend of

imperfections - not because I am perfect.

Striving to be perfect would not make

them love me any more than they do now.

In fact, perfection would make me an

unwanted stranger!

Through the years, my imperfections have

brought me many varied experiences and

made me who I am today. They appear

and fade at different intervals of my life,

continuing my own unique life-long

journey. They are as integral to my
life as my heart!

Today, I choose to find joy in my

imperfections and welcome them as the

life-fulfilling entities that they are.

Self-Reflection Questions:
1. How do my imperfections make me

unique?

2. Could others truly love me if I were

perfect?

3. What are some of my treasured

experiences that were brought about

because of my imperfections?
