This is a short update on this blog. Anyway, i will not update daily due to being quite busy recently. Anyway, this is a short message i'm trying to get across:

Its been said that the only thing constant in life is
change. People change, circumstances change,
things change. Change can be small, big, subtle or
sudden. Sometimes its a breeze, other times its
a painful process.

Change may be a choice we make, or it may be
imposed on us. A new job, getting married,
starting a family, moving house these are
examples of life changes we may experience.

Some people view change as a positive challenge,
others fret and agonize over the consequences of
new situations. Few of us deal with change without
feeling unruffled, so here are some tips to help deal
with it more effectively.

1. Dont rush it
Change involves a transition from one set of
circumstances to another. Give yourself time to
adjust and settle down.

2. Expect a reaction
Emotions will be stirred up. Let yourself laugh, cry
or feel moody about it. Change often involves a
degree of loss, so its OK to grieve a little and feel
nostalgic.

3. Dont take it personally
Change happens. Thats life. Its got nothing to do
with you. Dont obsess over whos to blame or why
it happened.

4. Go with the flow
Dont resist or be too rigid. Be flexible, ride out the
storm, and see how things turn out.

5. Dont go it alone
Talk to your family and close friends. Share your
problems with people you trust. Others may offer a
different angle to the situation.

6. Dont focus on the negative
If you keep looking at the bad side of things, you
might miss the good. The glass is also half full,
remember?

7. Break it up
A large problem will seem less insurmountable
when divided into little ones. Work on them one at
a time, and give yourself a pat on the back each
time you overcome one.

8. Learn from it
With new experiences, we grow wiser and
stronger. Wisdom helps us make better decisions
in future.

9. Balance your life
Its important to have a personal life to fall back on
to help you through tough times. Take time to be
with your friends and family.

10. Know that it will end
No matter how big or difficult, change comes to an
end when the new circumstances are in place and
become familiar. Normality will return. Keep this in
mind
