SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - RE-GROUPING 101

It is the ability to adapt to change that helps a species survive.

Within the framework of our individual lives that same adaptive quality allows us to minimize stress and improve our quality of life.

Given this important mechanism for survival - the healthy ability to shift and make corrections in our positions with the changes that come our way - what makes us freeze and go negative when plans change?




DANCE WITH IT!   EXPERIENTIAL APPS           
An opportunity to experiment with some fun
ideas...

WHAT'S YOUR RE-GROUP-ABILITY SCORE? 
Check the ones that fit for you:

When things change at the last minute I feel:

          1.  Lost 
          2.  Angry
          3.  Depressed/paralyzed
          4.  Challenged
          5.  Excited

When others cancel on me last minute I:

          1.  Plan vengeance
          2.  Decide never to make plans with them again
          3.  Figure that they probably don't like me
          4.  Reach out to someone else
          5.  Rejoice to have some time to myself

If you checked 1-3 on either list ask yourself how you learned this way of thinking…

Getting stuck in anger at 'them' or yourself is an exercise in futility!
