The Changing of the Seasons

As the days get shorter, the temperature gets colder, and we are adapting to the changing of the seasons, can we adapt to changes in life?  

You could be moving home, going through a loss or starting something new. The uncertainty, the stress and mixed emotions become overwhelming. Can we handle it? I found myself living through the side of the client this month. My partner and I purchasing a new home and having to move as well as renovate can be extremely stressful and draining. It is far underestimated! It is true when they say moving home can be one of the most stressful times of your life. Now I am able to deal with anyone else's homes and stuff, but when it came to dealing with this move, it has been the hardest thing for me to deal with, and I have felt completely overwhelmed. I understand truly the attachment for things, the anxiety for change and the overwhelm for dealing with such a project. I, too, have struggles. It has taught me about living in the eyes of my client.  

But what have I leant?... 

Let someone else take the responsibility! It is so much easier to let someone else, a professional deal with tasks. I can get away and leave it as is, to go back to it being completed. Takes the load off and puts me at ease. I don't mind if it costs, it is far worth hiring someone than having the stress that comes with doing it myself! They know how to get it done efficiently. Which is another topic...  

Doing things quickly. It is best to get someone in asap and bite the bullet. The longer I wait, the worse and more pressure I feel. It is also a better idea to do as much as I can when I have the energy than to put it off for other times. There may not be another time I feel up to it!  

More I have learnt is how much we do collect over the months! So much stuff and I only use like one fifth of it! I tried selling it for expensive prices and keeping it for that one day... but it gathers dust so in the end I had no choice but to be brutal and just throw it away or sell it for cheap as chips to get rid of it! But boy, did I feel better and lighter when I did! 

Letting go is an important part of life. Change is important and so that is how we grow.
