h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Today I'm pondering 'change' and why it's so unsettling and so liberating.

When I think about how my life is changing it's easy to start to hide away from it without even realising that I'm doing it. When that happens, the iminent change itself is replaced with a sense of nagging dread and impending doom puctuated by a half remembered vision of what's happening.

Exploring the consequences of change from every angle is in reality, far easier. Grab that change by the throat and shake it around until you feel in control of it. Don't dwell on what can't be changed - just remember that you'll deal with things as they come up.

Replacing that nagging dread with a feeling that 'dealing with everything is possible' leaves behind a feeling of pure freedom and the ability to look at the future with eagerness.

Open those bank statements. Remember that nothing is fixed. Make bite-sized nibbles out of those problems. Question why that change is so alarming. Stay out of those ruts!
