How to cope with change: Meet S.A.R.A.H

“The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new” -Socrates

 Letting go of my expat life and embracing my new life, is not an  easy one. I realise now that it was more easy to move from one place to the next that resettling in my ‘ home country’. In my latest post I describe that my home country as changed and so did I. Coping with this change and with changes in general, is not straight forward, we all deal with change in our own way.  With every transition, be it changing  jobs, changing countries, a part is about letting go of the old, known and the
other part is about embracing change, the new. 

Before we can embrace change we go through several stages.  Understanding our process can help us deal better with change. The Kubler-Ross research team came up with S.A.R.A.H. This model acknowledging that as people meet with change they generally have the following reactions:

1. Shock
2. Anger
3. Resistance
4. Acceptance
5. Healing

Sometimes one change in your life can lead to different changes,  also on the personal level. If you like some guidance in the transition you are going through or you want to make the most out of the changes you are dealing with, feel free to contact us.
