Change (December 2007)
How we perceive change will determine how it affects us. If we fear change, then when it happens it is likely to worry or upset us. But if we see change as offering us a different set of options, then it can become exciting and new. Perceiving change in this way allows us to accept it, assess what is within our control and begin to positively manage the new situation.
