Pumps Outlet-Respond to Change

People who take part in my three month With Life in Mind programmes often join because they've connected with my messages about taking care of their mental wellbeing following change and transition. From having a baby to dealing with retirement, from the break up of a long term relationship to recovering from serious illness, we all experience major changes at different times which can have a big impact for some considerable time afterwards christian louboutin-pumps-outlet.
The Change Curve
In workshops I often talk about the Kubler-Ross Change Curve because christian louboutin outlet illustrates how we typically go through different stages in response to change. Originally developed from research into the grief cycle by Elizabeth Kubler-Ross, the Change Curve really helps people understand that there is a process, and see how difficulties usually occur when we get stuck somewhere on that cycle and need some extra support or guidance.
Here's a very simple story to demonstrate how I went through all these stages in one day.
Last winter I woke up one morning to a thick layering of snow everywhere. I was due to travel over to the Isle of Wight from Portsmouth to do some research interviews. Once I got over the 'initial shock' I stayed in 'denial' that this was going to affect my plans for the day. I rang taxis, the ferry companies and bus services trying to find out how I could travel and eventually realised that nothing much was moving. I then felt very'frustrated' - this meant I would lose earnings as I work on a freelance basis, and I couldn't understand why everything seemed to have come to a halt. Soon after that I became 'depressed' about the wasted day, I couldn't think what else I would do, Christian outlet all seemed rather pointless and not worth the effort. After a while I did start to 'experiment' and try doing some other things, then I decided how I would spend the rest of the day and got on with it. By the end of the day I had 'integrated' the change - I was pleased with what I had achieved because if I had gone to the Isle of Wight I wouldn't have had the time to do Pumps outlet.
Now it is possible that I might have stayed in 'frustrated', 'depressed' or 'experimenting' mode for much longer. I could have spent the rest of the week feeling hard done by. If I had been feeling particularly vulnerable because of other much more serious changes I'd experienced, it might have left me feeling very low, dwelling on how I was a victim of circumstance and continually knocked back by life.
