What Do You Need To Know In Order To Manage Change Effectively?

[ Posted On: 2008-01-03 ]

Whether you are looking to increase your income or changing your career; you must decide if you really desire what you are asking for in order to manage the change effectively.

You may be saying ‘Yes, I really want to make more money, or yes I want to have a business’. If with time, the results you seek are not manifesting themselves, then there is something blocking you at a subconscious level.

Managing change effectively is about clearing something internally. Once your energy vibration is raised, you will then experience, and see the desired change.

We resist change because it goes against our programming. Our western physical world is based on fear. Hence, our subconscious goal is therefore to create a safe emotional environment for our selves. We subconsciously wish to stay in our comfort zone.

When you decide it is time for a life change, the disruption begins internally.

No matter how badly you claim to want the life change, you do not want to change emotionally. Change is uncomfortable.

For example, if you weigh an extra 20 pounds you know how to handle that emotionally, but you do not know how to handle the emotions of being thinner.

Therefore acknowledge that you are going against what you are conditioned to do. You will need to make the desired change at an emotional level, in order to dramatically increase your ability to manage change overall, and increase your chances of success.

When you bring change into your life, you will experience internal resistance.

Ask yourself, "Am I looking to change and have what I desire, or am I looking to stay comfortable?"

When you make a decision to go forward with change, you need to understand that you will be stirring up the fears that lie within you. You cannot escape that element, as it is part of the process.

The next question is, "Am I ready to deal with these feelings or will I avoid them?"

If you avoid the fears, you will revert back emotionally, to where you were and no desired change will occur.

If you decide to get the result you have been longing for, you need to experience the feelings. Feeling the uncomfortable emotions will help you set yourself free. You need to embrace the feelings and not resist them. That will be your clue that you are moving forward.

Next, expect that as you change, people around you will act funny, because you are no longer the same. Some may not like the new you and others will try to protect you.

The fear of success is much more common than the fear of failure.

Look at your life and ask yourself,
"When I __________( ex. am settled into my brand new home) how will my life change?"

Many do not give thought to the changes that the desired result will bring about and therefore they do not manage the change well, and so finally revert back to old ways.

You have to be emotionally ready to handle the desired change. Ask yourself "How does being successful with my new decision disrupt my life?"

Even if you want the manifestation of the result, there is another part of you that is saying, "I do not know if I really want this". That is the part that is holding you back, the part that is not sure whether it can handle the disruptions.

Sometimes in reality, what you currently have is really what you want. Is that perhaps your situation?

In life, there is no such thing as staying in the same spot. Things, events, circumstances are always changing. Energy always moves and you can't stop it.

Learn what is involved in the change process, and how to deal with your feelings. You will then be equipped to manage change, and move in the direction you want.

Internal conflicts are what hold you back. They are stopping you and me from being where we want to be. Most, not all, of your conflict comes from guilt; guilt you impose on yourself or guilt placed upon you by others.

Ask yourself the following questions as you decide what it is you want to change in your life:

1. What do I really want to change?

2. What can possibly happen if I change this situation? Am I ready to deal with feeling this in my life?

Get into the feeling that is blocking you.

The reason you have not seen the desired results in your life is because you have not dealt with a trapped feeling.

To change a particular situation in your life, you must decide, and accept, that this is something you want to do. As you gain clarity about the direction you want your life to take, you will expand your energy, and in turn this will create discomfort. Your choice will be to deal with the discomfort, and therefore gain the ability to move through the uneasiness and move towards reaching your goal or you will decide that you are not willing to go through the discomfort.

If you choose not to deal with the discomforting emotions, you will be experiencing internal conflict, and likely be unable to bring about the desired results.

Look inward for your answers and learn to trust yourself. That is truly the greatest gift you can give yourself and it will help you to manage change.
