windcatcher 0 #1 April 5, 2005 Ya know, going from being single to being in a relationship/vice-versa, moving to a different place, making new friends, changing the important things in your life, etc. I am interested to hear responses, seems like I have so much going on in my life right now. I have a lot of things to think about, make decisions on,etc. How well do you deal with change? Sarah Mother to the cutest little thing in the world...

wmw999 2,586 #2 April 5, 2005 I love change, and find it invigorating. I have to find ways to incorporate it into my life in creative ways. Otherwise I go find the first change I see lying around, which isn't always so good. The thing to remember is that if you deal with the change, you might make a mistake. If you don't, you're much more likely to be making a mistake. And eventually you'll turn 25 (or whatever) no matter what you do. And you can always start, or re-start, things later. Later almost always comes. Take each day, and each possible change, as it comes. Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnRich 4 #5 April 5, 2005 I empty my pocket change each day into a big water cooler bottle. Then about every 10 years, I use it like a silver mine, and dig out about $500 worth of coins. Except for quarters, which I save for toll booths. Oh wait, you meant that *other* kind of "change". Never mind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

windcatcher 0 #9 April 5, 2005 yes Travis, you are right!! Changing to a new dz was definitely good, for the new friends I made at Skyranch, like you and Chad,etc. I still miss people at Airtight though I've just got a LOT on my mind Mother to the cutest little thing in the world...

GiaKrembs 0 #10 April 5, 2005 I am a creature of habit... I typically avoid change like the plague. Not to say that I can't handle it, cuz lord know's the last 3 years of my life have been very chaotic. I prefer things to be serene... however I know I need to kick myself in the butt to move forward in my life - doing a bit of life review at the moment - mustering up the courage and strength to deal with it. g Raddest ho this side of Jersey #1 - rest in peace brother Beth lost her cherry and I missed it .... you want access to it, but you don't want to break it.

missg8tordivr 0 #11 April 5, 2005 Change is something that I can't really live happily without....so I have found. Is that bad? *** F LORIDA! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
windcatcher 0 #12 April 5, 2005 of course it's not a bad thing! I think dealing with change well is a good thing. I personally need a lot of change in my life, so my creativity and unfamiliarity isn't stagnated. However, some kinds of change can be stressful, if it comes with a LOT of changes you're all good though, girl Mother to the cutest little thing in the world...

freeflir29 0 #16 April 5, 2005 I have this horrible personality trait that makes me get bored easily. That's why I am on my 4th career choice in 5 years. Luckily........I only have to put up with this one for about 5 years. Then I'll be semi-retired and only do AFF, tandems, and video when and where I feel like it. I'll probably spend most of my time living in my DZ trailer. When I need change I'll disconnect the hook ups and drive to a new DZ. Or take a few weeks off and go see my house. Damn I can't wait for this 5 years to go by! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NWFlyer 2 #17 April 6, 2005 I think I deal with it pretty well. I just figure "Okay, this is the situation I'm in now - how am I going to deal with it?" I've actively made a ton of changes in my life over the past two years, and I'm happier for it. I've also had a lot of negative shit happen to me in that time period and I've tried to turn each of those things on their head and find something positive about it. I'm still getting used to the new me and sometimes I find myself defaulting to old behaviors, but for the most part, change is good. I'm about to make one more big one that I've been needing to do for a while - taking a huge risk and quitting my job at the end of the month without something new lined up. I've been spinning my wheels in this career for a while and it's time to figure out what I really want to be when I grow up. I can keep spinning my wheels or I can take a chance and give myself the time and perspective to (hopefully) figure it out. And at the very least, I get to play for a while!"There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences." -P.J. O'Rourke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lainey 0 #18 April 6, 2005 I always get scared when things are about to change, I worry too much about what's going to happen, get nervous and think the world is going to cave in haha. Then when I get into the situation I find it's usually easy as pie and I was totally worried for no reason. Change is healthy, it promotes growth and keeps life interesting, you've got to keep challenging yourself and you'll find when you adapt or overcome a hurdle your self esteem grows and next time you're faced with a change it seems just that little bit easier to deal with. anyways, i hope everything is going well for you Sarah, if you're faced with change right now i'm sure you'll come up well, you seem like such a happy friendly person.

happythoughts 0 #19 April 6, 2005 I think that the key thing is to have it organized. Get an empty gallon water jug and keep all your change in there. It is a lot easier to deal with if you are neat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
windcatcher 0 #20 April 6, 2005 hi Lainey thanks girl, I am happy...just have a lot on my mind, that's all. Sometimes I crave change...actually, I crave it all the time. It's just, some situations in my life need me to be analytical and I'm really good at that Mother to the cutest little thing in the world... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weegegirl 2 #21 April 6, 2005 I'm pretty stubborn, so I usually put up a fight at first. Doesn't take long till I'm rolling with it though. Whether it's a change in management at work, or a change in a relationship, or a change in location..... I usually deal well. Then again, I moved 20 times by the time I was 18 years old. I can't stay put for shit. The longest I've been in one place in a looooooooong time was the 3 years I just spent in Michigan. And that was 2 1/2 years too long.
