I don't mind telling you that change scares the crap out of me. This is another thing in myself that i've been working on. Really, change shouldn't be so frightening because we're always changing and always afraid of what will happen next. The situation you're in right now is different than the one 20 minutes ago but you're just fine. It's the unknown that gets us I guess.

People are sometimes ambivalent about changing, as there may be losses as well as gains. Make a list of the advantages and disadvantages of changing, so you can, with a clear head, evaluate if you really want to change. Many people pass through a set of stages in the process of change: Pre-contemplation, in which they aren�t thinking of change Contemplation, in which they think of change in the next six months Preparation, in which they plan change within the month Action, speaks for itself, Maintenance, in which they cope with errors in order to maintain their change.
