The Times They Are A-Change’n – Deal with It – TPS563

The Prosperity Show Podcast. Financial Health | Business Success | Peace of Mind

In this episode, I acknowledge the difficulty people are having with the many changes that are taking place in our world and in our lives. Suggestions are offered for becoming comfortable with change, especially when you can't control what's happening. Highlights An important piece of my podcast equipment died, which precipitated unexpected changes. I talk about how I dealt with these changes and the many changes in the podcast world that have taken place over the past 10 years. If you don’t know how to gracefully deal with change, you can wind up anxious and depressed. Your brain is wired to let you know that you’re in danger when there is uncertainty. I talk about how your brain responds to uncertainty and change. You can’t stop the changes that are happening, but you can make plans and learn to deal with the changes. Older people often have more difficulty dealing with change. Technical changes, such as AI, are causing confusion because they’re happening so fast. It’s important to recognize when you feel uncomfortable with what’s going on – especially regarding things over which you have no control. I explain and offer some suggestions. Meditation can be just as effective as antidepressants. The idea is to make whatever is going on okay. When you are uncomfortable, talk to yourself as if there’s a coach in the room with you who can help you understand that whatever is happening is okay and you’ll get through it. It is your inner child that is upset and the adult within needs to soothe that child. Whatever is happening is just what’s happening; it’s not good or bad. It’s not about what’s happening, it’s about how you respond to whatever is happening and it’s your choice as to how you do this. Many things are going to come up in your life that are unexpected and that you can't control. Now is the time to learn how to deal with those things. Being afraid is not going to change anything.
