 | Change is Good! by T. Harv Eker |  |

Sometimes we love change and sometimes we hate it. Regardless, it always takes a little bit of courage to leave something familiar and try something new. Why is change difficult for most of us? Because change necessitates that we move out of our comfort zones.
Since the ego, or protective mind's job is survival, it will always prefer safety and security over the untested and unproven. It likes to keep things the same. It has us believe "the devil I know is better than the devil I don't know." In short, "if I stay with what I know and what is familiar, I won't get hurt." This belief system is simply not true and goes directly against the laws of nature.

| How to reduce the stress of switching jobs by Jane-Michèle Clark | |
| |
|
|
|
|
I’m about to switch jobs. How can I make the transition less stressful?
This is a question I hear quite frequently. In speaking with Work-Life balance experts and stress management counselors, it’s clear that switching jobs can be as stressful as being fired.

I have not often admitted this, but I was inspired to become a public speaker by perhaps the worst motivational speaker I've ever heard in my life.
This fellow is still working, surprisingly, so I won't give his name. He was the opening speaker in a seminar I attended early in my speaking career and he nearly closed the show early with his monotone, unenthusiastic presentation.... |

| How to Change by Louise L. Hay | |

“I cross bridges with joy and with ease.”
I love “how to’s.” All the theory in the world is useless unless we know how to apply it and make a change. I have always been a very pragmatic, practical person with a great need to know how to do things.
The principles we will be working with at this time are:
Nurturing the willingness to let go Controlling the mind, and Learning how forgiveness of self and others releases us. ... |

Repeat this process every morning and every evening from this day forward. Within one week you will notice remarkable changes in your life. ... |

Why do we keep hoping that things will work out even when the results of our efforts are telling a different story?
Somewhere inside of us we have this notion that if only we try hard enough, long enough, this "thing" will work out exactly as pictured in the mind. So we repeat the pattern of the day before, and the day before that, hoping that this time the result will somehow be different.... |

Each day the world is at work: working for ourselves, for others, indoors, outdoors — a myriad of situations exist. On the surface, you can look at work as a means of survival. Your wages pay for food, shelter, and other necessities. In this article, I propose a new way of looking at work. Work is a place of power. At work you have a wealth of opportunities to increase your self-knowledge and sense of self-esteem. At work, you can grow by embracing the learning available to you there. ... |
