Welcoming and Embracing Change

Change is a fact of life, right? Well for many single parents, we feel like we have seen more than our fair share of change in recent months or years and we would like very much for things to just settle down and stay stable for a while. Unfortunately, whether we’ve had plenty of change or not—there is just no stopping it. Learning how to welcome and embrace the constant wheel of change can make for a happier, calmer existence.

I know first-hand what it feels like to just want to dig in my heels and say enough is enough! After a particularly trying or tumultuous time, we may really want to settle in and get things stabilized. But, we don’t always have that kind of power! Things keep changing and we can either learn to welcome and embrace that change and change along with it—or we will have more stress and suffering trying to fight it. It may be perfectly natural to want to put a stop to continuous and disconcerting changes, but change is inevitable and as humans we are charged with learning how to acknowledge that.

The thing is—life never gets to a place where it is without shifting and change. Sure, there will be times when things seem less chaotic and less topsy-turvy—but change is constant, inevitable, and the very juice and blood of life. We cannot fight it! (Okay, we CAN fight it, but it doesn’t really do any good and it tends to just make us more miserable.) As singe parents, we can learn how to roll with the changes instead of fighting them; we can learn how to open our arms and embrace those constant and inevitable changes so that we can keep moving forward and continue caring for our families regardless of what adventures come down the pike!
