Change is the one constant in the universe. Even the sun won’t last forever. While change can be stressful, even the most difficult changes can provide benefits and new opportunities.

Changes in employment, living arrangements and location, and relationships can be among the most stressful changes and provide the most significant opportunities for positive life advancements.

While change is stressful, it delivers numerous benefits:

 Without change, life would be boring. No matter how great your life might be, it can still become boring. Have you ever been on your dream vacation and found yourself excited about going home by the end of your time there?

Having an evening or a whole day by yourself can seem like heaven. But it doesn’t take too long for the charm to wear off—several days or weeks of doing nothing except watching TV start to get old. Change keeps things fresh. Imagine living the same day over and over again. What would be the point?

Change can bring improvements. Changes in diet can lead to enhancements in health and appearance. A relationship change can bring new levels of happiness. A change of careers can provide new opportunities and possible salary growth. Change is the quickest way to enhance your life if you feel stuck.

Change builds resilience. Numerous studies have shown that the stress of change within limits increases the ability of nearly any organism to thrive. Too much change can be too stressful. Too little change leads to a loss of vitality.

 Change provides opportunities. When your circumstances and environment change, you also change the options available. Every change brings new possibilities. One of them might be perfect for you.

Change isn’t easy, but it’s a necessary part of life. Without any changes, the planet would become a pretty dull place!
