Zooming Out of Change

I'm not referring to the change you find in your pockets sometimes or under the car seat, but change as it comes about in your life. In life when we need start something new, something old usually ends to make space for the new beginning. This is change, whether you like it or not, it happens and it is usually for the better even if it might not seem so at first.

Change can be anything, we all experience it. It could be the start of college life, a new job, relationships and so much more. It can be scary, exciting, emotional and sometimes unwanted but we all go through it. Here is one tool that helps me deal with change especially when times look dark and your life appears out of control:

Zooming out - In your mind, imagine the zooming out tool you use for picture editing. Now scroll your mental mouse and zoom out of your life. Feel yourself floating away from your body and looking at yourself from the sky. You are surrounded by circles of time, each a year in diameter. Now try to find the situation you are currently facing. It is probably a small dot somewhere in the circle of your present. A dot that you can stretch into a line and make it cross several of your circles of life if you continue to repent on the unfavorable situation, or a dot that you can ignore and move on to the limitless boundaries that you have yet to cross.

Soon enough you will realize that your mind is what creates the problems and only your mind has the power to fix them.
