Everyone has their own relationship with change. Some fear it while others get very excited about it. Whatever you may have felt about change in the past, here are some thoughts that will make you think a little differently and open up to the changes that will come your way in your life.

This is Ariane de Bonvoison’s Change Manifesto:

Change is a good thing.

Change is part of life and happens to everyone.

Change is an opportunity for me to grow.

Change always means something good is around the corner.

Change brings new people, new opportunities and new perspectives.

Change helps strengthen my self-reliance, inner fortitude and inner faith that I can handle anything.

Change is never a punishment.

Change allows me to learn or understand something new.

Change reminds me to let go and surrender a little more to life.
