INSIDE OKDHS - CHANGE

(MUSIC PLAYS) 

The season is changing. Fall is returning - such a relief from the lingering heat. A gift that arrives without you having to do anything to receive it.  

All you have to do is step outside to enjoy the beautiful colors and crispness in the air. That's not the way all change is greeted. Change can be stressful and unwanted. This kind of change can create a feeling of powerlessness like a leaf separated from the tree at the mercy of the wind. 

One self care strategy in times of change is to look closely at the shifting situation and your feelings about it. Offer yourself time and patience to absorb the difference in your life.  

Just like the leaf in the wind you are loose, but you may land somewhere better than where you were. In moments of flux, you have the opportunity to make adjustments that improve other aspects of your life. Making your self-care a priority regardless of what differences you face allows you to see changes as refinements not obstacles. 

Remember: the Employee Assistance Program is there to help you with the changes in your life with six cost-free, confidential visits a year. Change is as inevitable as the turning of the seasons. Questioning your resistance and seeing the potential for beauty can help you find the gifts in a shifting world. Take Time to Take Care.
