Sounds simple enough, right? We know how to change. Here’s the proof:<\/p>\n

If we didn’t, we would still be teaching in one-room schoolhouses, popping popcorn in a skillet over an open fire, and hitching our horses to the post outside of Starbucks…you get the idea.<\/p>\n

Change Isn\u2019t the Problem…Acceptance Is<\/h3>\n

Sometimes it’s not about whether<\/em> or not to change – but how <\/em>quickly we accept<\/em> it in our lives. Let\u2019s face it \u2013 for many of us, accepting change is tough.<\/p>\n

Sure, most of us realize that perhaps the one constant in life is<\/em> change itself. Accepting this, however, is another story.<\/p>\n

As the late Stephen Covey once said, \u201cThere are three constants in life…change, choice and principles.\u201d Change is completely normal \u2013 and absolutely crucial to your success.<\/p>\n

Change the way you think…about change.<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s that word again \u2013 change<\/strong>. The way you perceive<\/em> change is likely to affect how you actually experience<\/em> the process. If you approach the concept of change with a sense of dread or oppose it entirely, the results you get probably won\u2019t be too favorable.<\/p>\n

So, what do you do? Use these three simple steps to reframe how you experience change:<\/p>\n

\n
1. See change from a fresh perspective<\/em> by thinking about it as a new adventure.<\/li>\n
2. Use effective planning<\/em> to determine not only how you\u2019ll experience and accept change, but to outline the obstacles that may be interfering with your ability to welcome change.<\/li>\n
3. Once you\u2019ve gone through the process of change, evaluate<\/em> Ask yourself what was good, what was not<\/em> so good, and how you\u2019d do things differently next time to improve your experience.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

   Remember, what seems inevitable in the rear-view mirror doesn’t always look that way through the windshield.<\/p>\n
