Reframing Change: Why It’s Happening FOR You

When change arrives—whether it’s a career shift, a relationship ending, or a health challenge—it’s easy to fall into the mindset that life is happening to us. We resist, fight, and sometimes shut down because we’re afraid of what’s on the other side.

But here’s the truth: Change isn’t the enemy. It’s the catalyst.

In The Change Guidebook, I teach that when we stop resisting change and start embracing it, we unlock doors to growth, healing, and new possibilities. Change is a bridge between where you are now and where you’re meant to be.

“Change is not happening TO you. It’s happening FOR you.”– Elizabeth Hamilton-Guarino

🧠 The Shift: Moving from Fear to Curiosity

Most people view change through the lens of fear—fearing the unknown, fearing failure, or fearing loss. But when we shift our perspective, change transforms from something to fear into something to explore.

💡 Reframe Tip: Instead of asking, “Why is this happening to me?” ask:“What is this change trying to teach me?”

When you approach change with curiosity rather than resistance, you open yourself to new opportunities, deeper connections, and unexpected blessings.

💡 3 Steps to Shift Your Mindset When Facing Change

If you’re ready to stop resisting change and start seeing it as an opportunity, here are 3 actionable steps from The Change Guidebook to get started:

1️⃣ Pause and Breathe

When change feels overwhelming, pause. Take a deep breath. Ground yourself in the present moment. This simple action creates space between reaction and response, allowing you to approach change with greater clarity.

2️⃣ Ask Empowering Questions

Shift from a place of fear to curiosity by asking questions that invite growth:

• “What can I learn from this situation?”

• “How can this change make me stronger or wiser?”

• “What’s the next best step I can take?”

  
  

3️⃣ Visualize the Possibilities

Imagine what’s possible on the other side of change. Visualize the outcome you desire and allow that vision to guide your next steps.
