These are exciting (not frightening) times, even though Collins Dictionary Word of the Year is “permacrisis,” an “extended period of instability and insecurity,” and the World Economic Forum's 2023 Global Risks Report describes the “polycrisis” in which we live.
Thriving with change has less to do with externals and more to do with a set of micro-skills, or small mindset adjustments. It is how you view change, and the decisions you make how to react to it.
Many people look for solutions to their issues outside themselves. Studies show that workplace changes and improvements make small, but not significant differences in productivity or well being. When mindsets shift, however, significant changes in productivity and well being ensue.
We’re not going back to the way it was, so we adjust our mindset and habits to this new world. We evolve into newer version of ourselves … not a better version, just one likely to survive. To do this, we question old beliefs and rules, and adopt behaviours that might be new for us.
These are the habits of people who thrive with change. They:
1. Get to the Start Line. Feeling like an imposter is a good sign; you are on the right track, and if you keep at it, you’ll grow into it.Don’t ever give up.
2. Focus only on what they can control and let the rest go.
3. Only reward, never punish themselves (or others).
4. Reframe old beliefs and rules that no longer hold.
5. Move into what scares them with four words: “What if I could?"
