Editor's Notes
- No matter what the source is, change, by its very nature, causes stress. If there are too many changes, too quickly, then an additional strain, which may become excessive, is put on the system. In the struggle to adapt to this pressure, we may become depressed, physically sick, or make unwise choices due to the psychological pressure.Research into the relationship between life change, stress, and health, supports the notion that change exacts a toll, physically, mentally, or psychologically. Some changes cause more stress than others, although other changes may depend on the background, personality, and skill attributes of the person. The death of a young child is more stressful, for example, than loss of a job, but whether a move to a new city is more stressful than a divorce may depend on the circumstances. SUMMARY OF THE RESEARCH ON CHANGE No matter what the source is, change, by its very nature, causes stress. If there are too many changes, too quickly, then an additional strain, which may become excessive, is put on the system. In the struggle to adapt to this pressure, we may become depressed, physically sick, or make unwise choices due to the psychological pressure. Research into the relationship between life change, stress, and health, supports the notion that change exacts a toll, physically, mentally, or psychologically. Some changes cause more stress than others, although other changes may depend on the background, personality, and skill attributes of the person. The death of a young child is more stressful, for example, than loss of a job, but whether a move to a new city is more stressful than a divorce may depend on the circumstances. All change can create stress, regardless of whether the change is positive or negative. Either way, the body as a system is forced to adapt. A promotion can be just as stressful as a demotion. Changes often come in clusters, and create a momentum of their own. One change often leads to another, and thus the stress level escalates since one adaptation in one area will often require another adaptation in a different area. Both number and time of changes can increase stress - an accumulation of changes over time or a number of changes in a short time period can increase the stress level and thus the risk of illness.

- Work on identifying what you can do rather than what is being done to you. That is, locate the element of control inside you rather than on external things. " I am doing" rather than "this is being done to me".Identify what you CAN do rather than focus on what is NOT possible.Mentally program your mind to see yourself succeeding. ALWAYS focus on the positive outcome. If you do see a negative situation, then continue the mental picture by seeing yourself successfully overcoming the obstacles and being successful.Assign a different cause to the situation; see it in a "different light".When you automatically assume a negative or limiting belief, ask yourself what the evidence is. Try the positive alternative as an experiment, just once to see how it works.Select some positive statements about yourself and/or your capabilities. Write them out. Post them where you can see them. Every time you express a negative self-statement, follow it up with a positive affirmation.
- . The support network can provide information, advice, and analysis.
- One writer suggests that in this phase, the person is "mourning the past rather than preparing for the future".
