Changing jobs, receiving new responsibilities
on your current job, or experiencing a revision of your current job during a corporate reorganization offers you positive
opportunities for a successful outcome. It also provides a time for self-improvement and character building.
For many,
accepting change or assuming new responsibilities can be extremely difficult. Often, change is a frightening experience. But,
when you embrace new responsibilities and change, you combat any self-destructive negative energy. Adapting to change with
a positive outlook can help you explore who you are, how you manage feelings of doubt and uncertainty, and how you actually
learn new skills.
To overcome negative energies and accept new responsibilities and change in a positive light, focus
on three key actions:
1. Avoid denial.
2. Don't place blame.
3. Counteract self-doubt.
Denial is expecting
things to stay the same or beginning on a new path but only doing your old job without developing new skills or learning about
your new environment and new responsibilities. Without recognizing the difference brought about by change, you fail to move
forward and only blockade your ability to learn new skills.
Placing blame sabotages your own opportunity to learn and
develop new skills or facilitate personal growth. Often, placing blame serves as an excuse to avoid accepting responsibility
for taking action. Without placing blame, you accept new responsibilities and change with a positive mind.
When you
doubt that you can master your new responsibilities, you prevent yourself from learning them and impede your own personal
growth. Thinking, "Why can't I get it right?" or "What's wrong with me?" conducts negative energy that obscures a positive
outlook.
When you embrace new responsibilities and change with an open mind, you can avoid denial, blame, and self-doubt.
You generate positive energy instead, which will help your personal growth and the development of new skills. This energy
creates a positive outlook that facilitates a successful transition through change and the challenge of new responsibilities.
