Equanimity During Relocation

We’re always in the midst of some kind of life change or relocation, whether it’s geographic or internal. Yet even though change is the one constant in life, we tend to fear, resist or deny it, even though it’s inevitable.

And when we’re not wishing change away, we’re busy evaluating it and labeling it as either “good” or “bad.”

What would it be like to cultivate a sense of equanimity, trust and comfort, no matter what the next destination might be?

Imagine embracing all of our relocations in life.

To achieve that paradigm shift, start by recognizing that change isn’t good or bad – it just is. It is exactly the way it’s supposed to be. Shed the dynamics of evaluating, over-thinking, or over-controlling; these only drain your energy.

If you can embrace that concept, what you’ll gain back is the time and energy spent over-thinking, over-analyzing, or over-evaluating. During change, we’re already stressed, tired and confused. Why add to that chaos?

Let go of your need for everything to be good, because when we are attached to something being a certain way, we’ll inevitably be disappointed. In the meantime, we may miss what life wanted to bring to us – perhaps an even better opportunity!

Life is fluid. We might as well get used to that. Being present to life, rather than labeling life, helps us to live more fully.
