Discomfort to Motivation
You need to focus on the present and be deliberate about motivating yourself to take the next best action steps
Danger Zone
http://www.yourworkplace.ca/the-change-cycle-discomfort-article-47/2/
"Recipients become extremely overwhelmed. Their discomfort can turn into paralysis or even depression and they find themselves unable to take action. It is characterized by the urge to give up, picturing oneself as helpless, covering up emotions and feeling inadequate. Change leaders can help by skillfully motivating the change participants to break down tasks into smaller steps, helping participants to prioritize, creating mental distractions and committing to physical action. Oddly enough, at a time when everything seems so overwhelming, the best course of action can be to take a break from it all. Taking small steps, having patience and permitting breaks will get everyone through it"
When we are having negative thoughts of any type our brains naturally go into the reptilian zone—this is good for survival—this is the part of the brain that tells us to either fight, flight become paralyzed. Good for survival but not so good for every day life.

What Can I Do?
https://www.psycom.net/dealing-with-change
Time to create goals
How do you really want to spend your time on earth?
What’s really important to you?
Where do you see yourself wasting your time and energy?
Ask for help
Be OK asking for help. Create and maintain support systems for yourself when you are going through major changes.
If the need for order in your life is strong, change will have a greater impact upon you, be a bigger challenge. You will need more support, but most likely be less able to ask for it
Application
Write down at least one intention statement that will help you become more adaptable or better able to cope with changes in your life and work.

What Can I Do?
https://www.psycom.net/dealing-with-change
- Discomfort with change is a normal reaction
- Acknowledge the loss
- Expect to progress through the stages of change
- Evaluate Your Level of Control
- Practice Self-Care
- Create change-free zones--safe spaces and structures for yourself that don’t change.
- Does the ringing phone run your life? Create space and time in your life. Simplify, eliminate excess clutter, meaning excess stuff in your environment and excess activities in your life.
- Take extra good care of yourself. Set strong personal boundaries about what you will and won’t do or accept. Put your basic physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs first. Sometimes you can just say “no” to change or to others’ requests.
- Check Your Thought Patterns
- Remind yourself about transitions and challenges you successfully navigated in the past
- Make a list of ways you’ve been resilient in your life, and consider what traits and actions might be able to see you through the current challenge
- Reframe change
- You can see it as opportunity, as creative tension, as enlivening
- You always have a choice over how you will react to change, both “inner” and “outer.”
- You can be reactive or proactive
- Be In the Present
Get in tune with your body - No change leads to stagnation. Too much change leads to insanity. Discover your own healthy level of change.
- Check in with yourself daily. Ask yourself, “what do I need right now?”
Become grounded - Remember to Breathe
- Find Your Priorities
