Hi all,
A few Saturday’s ago was moving day for our 18 year old daughter Lisa, she’s off to college. It was a very hectic weekend, filled with both excitement and stress and anxiety for Lisa, and sadness for mom and dad. It’s never easy letting go. Managing this stress and anxiety is paramount to good health living.
The trip itself went well, considering that we moved all of her furniture and boxes in one day. We also managed to organize her room including putting together a new coffee table for her, and even found the time to set up a new laptop computer for her.
She’s a big girl now and will learn a tremendous amount over the next few years about being responsible, and about how to get on in this big beautiful world of ours.
Change is a part of living and you need to acknowledge and accept it openly. You should not fear change, because it is a crucial part of life. You should also be aware that the future is unknown. Therefore it is a waste of time and energy to fear that which you can not know or understand.
We all fear the insecurity and uncertainty of change. That goes for our daughter Lisa, and mom and dad. We all want security, and want our lives organized into nice little bundles. We get very comfortable with the way things are. We form routines, and become very content living with-in the boundaries of those routines. As a result our lives become very limited. Our routines make us extremely mechanical human beings and, as a result, our minds become dull and lazy.
So instead I suggest that you embrace change with open arms. Realize that life is change, life is movement, life is relationships. It is our existence from one moment to the next- this is change. So instead, focus on the present moment filled with all of its joys and passions. Let your expectations of the future go. Allow yourself to experience the present.Learn how to manage stress and anxiety. Live life in the moment and all of your fears and anxieties will disappear.
This is what our daughter Lisa shall do. This is what mom and dad shall do. It is the only way to find true happiness.
