So today I had to move out as I said yesterday and although I do this twice a year it still stresses me out. So today’s blog is all about how to cope with change. Now all human beings are instantly programmed to not like change. We thrive on routine and longevity and although some change can be really good and positive it is still daunting. I actually love staying with my brother and his fiancé, I do know that I am unwanted and annoying, I’ve never successfully managed to live well with any friends at University but that’s is not to say I didn’t try. I have my own way of living and other people have theirs and I respect everyones way of living. I do actually love staying with my brother, I get on really well with them both and it is nice to bond closer to them and also makes me a little more social than I normally am. I can understand they want their own space, it is there house and I’m uprooting it, they probably have their own way of how to cope with change when I come along. And I’m very thankful and appreciative that they take me in.
The best way of how to cope with change for me is get busy. As soon as I woke up I went straight to the bathroom, morning routine and cooked breakfast of eggs with my protein shake and lunch, chicken with veg and packed it for work. It is important to keep busy with work and eat healthily, which is no problem for me on this 30 days to healthy living. I am always tempted to eat junk in these situations just to get that quick serotonin release, but I know better. I also like to seek support, now I asked my mum to help me move some of my stuff with me today and just that support helped me to cope better. I also like to vent a little to my best friend or boyfriend, just getting my feelings out helps and makes me realise that it really isn’t that bad. After work today and moving my stuff in I did my gymnastics training. I was so pleased tonight, I done 4 upstarts (kips) that I’ve only just recently mastered and I got down on both legs in splits which hasn’t been the case for many years! Now if you can upstart/kip try Beth Tweddle’s challenge here. Exercise does put me in a much better mood.
After training me and a lot of people at gymnastics go and chat. We literally chat until almost midnight most Fridays. And one of the best ways of how to cope with change is having a break, chilling and talking to your friends, it really does help in the now and I love them to bits for being who they are. However tonight I was not a happy bunny, one of the adults who joined us managed to tick me off and push all my buttons, to the point I moved seats. Now if you know me at all, that is actually pretty hard to do. I read the room and realised quite a few people around me were also pretty bored or annoyed by this guy. It is a shame that I couldn’t find one positive thing to say about him, for most people I can, oh well. On the other hand moving seats was such a great idea I spent the next hour laughing and watching some hilarious youtube videos with my friends that I totally calmed down and enjoyed it. Hopefully I can say the same thing about moving to my brother’s, I sure do have fun and laugh when I hang out with them – I Love them and are so looking forward to their wedding this year!!!
