Touchstones
In improving our lives and intensifying our careers, change is inevitable. Many people are afraid of change. In fact, people often stay in unsatisfying jobs or relationships because the comfort of the known is more acceptable than the discomfort and fears associated with the unknown. However, bear in mind that what you do not have now you could have if things changed. Answer your fears with thoughts about the improvements you could enjoy.
When you are facing change and having trouble coping, revisit the things that are constant in your life—your favorite hobbies, places, and people. Connect with all the touchstones in your life, the things that are steady and reliable. Some of these may dissolve along with your old habits and circumstances, but you always have something to come back to, some part of yourself that remains unchanged.
