Have you ever been in a difficult situation? You are human so I’m sure you have. Trying to adapt to new ideas or changes like moving, a divorce, a new job, a corporate restructuring, or even changes made by our governments can often be challenging.  In some situations there is very little we can do about the situation.  It seems like the more we resist the facts, the worse we feel about the situation. If we aren’t careful it can even bubble into other areas of life and negatively impacting them as well.

When in a situation of this nature it can often be helpful to look at things from a broader point of view.  Ask yourself – how will this situation look in 2 months, a year, or 5 years? What I have found is that how we see the situation (our perspective) can have a tremendous impact on our options and our ability to what we see as possible. Broadening the focus and stepping back from the detail can help us to gain perspective and perspective leads to acceptance. Acceptance leads to calm.

How can acceptance enhance your life? Acceptance gently helps us to accept challenges and changes so we can move forward a little easier. It is not necessarily saying you agree with the situation, however a willingness to accept it.

Often when dealing with challenging situations you may have even noticed a change in your dietary habits. Perhaps you suddenly have incomprehensible cravings for chocolate, pasta, potato chips, cheesecake, ice cream.  The opposite is also a sign for concern -loss of appetite.  The desire to do a cleanse can be a signal that we are internalizing what is happening in the outside world and accepting the change.

Once we are ready to embrace the change that is happening in our lives, then the cravings will start to subside. Are you ready to accept and gain perspective on the changes happening in your life?

Here are a few steps you can take to begin the process.
