“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future” – John F Kennedy
Change is the only constant. We can’t avoid change. It will happen whether we like it or not. The more we show resistance to change, the more difficult our lives will become. It has a drastic impact on our lives. Change will find us, challenge us, and force us to reevaluate how we live our lives. So embrace change instead of resisting it.
Here are some ways you can make adjustments to your life to cope with change.

Change Your Mindset
We all love remaining in our comfort zone. Our minds like this because it is familiar. When we embrace change, we move into unfamiliar territory and this is something our minds do not enjoy. So we tend to have a resistance to change.
We are held back by our fear and limiting beliefs whenever we sense a change in the environment. Disruption makes us feel uneasy and uncomfortable. However, we do have the choice to set our limiting beliefs aside and embrace change that will lead to positivity in our lives.
We may not be able to control changes in our environment. However, what we can control is how we react to change. Our reaction will determine our well-being.
The more we use our privilege of choice and the more effort we make to adapt positively to change, the more resilience we will grow within ourselves. Once we become resilient, we will be happy to embrace whatever changes we encounter in our lives.
Make Life Meaningful
We must know the things that are important in our lives. Knowing this allows us to make priorities. It gives our lives direction and a sense of purpose. Once you develop a sense of purpose, you will get clarity on what you want to achieve in life. Once you are clear about the purpose of your life, you will be able to handle change with ease.
If you don’t have a purpose in life, you will tend to meander within the limits of your comfort zone. Leading a life that has purpose will make you brave enough to move out of your comfort zone. You will not be able to embrace change without stepping out of your comfort zone. This is where you will find opportunities for growth that a change in environment may present.
Have No Regrets
Having regrets plays a huge role in holding you back in life. Having regrets means you can’t let go of the past. And when you live in the past, you don’t look forward to any changes that may happen in the future. So letting your regrets go is vital for personal and professional progression.
Unless you live in the present, you will not be able to pay attention to the opportunities a change in environment presents. And if you miss these opportunities, you will have even greater regrets in the future.
You can’t change what happened in the past. However, you do have at least some control over where you can go from here. You will have some control of your life only if you start living in the present and look forward to a brighter future.
Summing Up
It is not easy to embrace change. For most people, stepping out of their comfort zones is a Herculean task. Change is scary as you fear it may make your situation even worse than it currently is. However, embracing change is the only way to move forward in life. Once you can adapt to change, your life will become a lot more serene and peaceful.
