The progression of time leads to change. Something occurs in every moment and these occurrences represent a change. Whether the activity was the similar to a past activity, or not, something changed.
For example, if you get up in the morning, shower, shave, dress the actions seem similar. Each of these activities results in a change, for example from sleeping to waking state, from whiskers to clean shaven, from dirty to clean, although the activity itself and order of the activities might be unchanged.
Accepting Change
In fact the only way to freeze change would be to stop time, something that can be conceptualized but is unlikely to be actually realized. Time marches on mercilessly.
We do of course have some control over the extent and magnitude of change we are comfortable with and can influence or impact the amount of change we are willing to accept.
Like the daily march of time, change is inevitable and some things we must just accept, “it just is” and move on. Being able to recognize when to accept and when to take action is critical to your ongoing peace of mind.
Passive/ Aggressive
One common method to address change is to create the perception you accept it, while aggressively resisting through sabotage and other indirect practices
Open resistance is a far better practise both from the perspective of the challenger and the champion of the change. Open discussion can enable the changes to occur with less anxiety and frustration by all parties while allowing for the potential of collaborative modifications.
The key is recognizing change is inevitable and resisting is a far less productive practice than participating.
