Change with Random Acts of Kindness…

Coaching Notes - No Comments » - Posted on January, 4 at 7:45 pm

Control the change around you by investing in it…

This economy has been experiencing changes for a while now.  Some companies are closing their doors; others are reorganizing their staff internally to keep from doing so.  People – employers and employees – are taking note of these changes and feeling quite uncomfortable with it.

Everything was in its proper order and flowing as it was supposed to, then someone changed it, messed it all up, and now all the control we once had over our circumstances seems to have disappeared.

These types of initial reactions are quite natural and present themselves in two main ways.  Understanding how you handle change will allow you to consciously recognize where you “stand”, allow you to move forward in the most productive way, giving you the means to take control of your own life no matter what your current circumstances are.

First, we must understand that discouragement, fear, anger, frustration, or any other negative emotions and thoughts can serve to show us that those are the very things we need to work on.  …the things we can consciously recognize and change for a better, more positive, happier outcome.  Keep those negative emotions rolling, though, and they will define your life just as readily.

The first way negative reactions to change can present themselves is through the need to control change.  We must understand that change just is.  Life, societies, and the human race as a whole continue to advance, and change of all kinds is a part of it.

So, right now is a great time to understand that attachment to your “way of doing things” and controlling your slice of life is a great way to always feel out of control and upset at “others” for changing things on you.

What if things don’t change the way you want or need them to?    To paraphrase Suze Orman, “A big part of … freedom is having your heart and mind free from worry about the what-ifs of life.”  The solution?  Be free!  Go with the flow!

The second way negative reactions to change present themselves is through resistance and denial of change.  We see this often.  “This is the way we’ve always done it!”  Ever hear that?

Maybe a company or division changes direction or it’s method of doing things.  Commissions are introduced – or reduced.  Maybe accountability and responsibility are expected at higher a level than before.  Change is usually resisted or denied through complaining, sarcasm, or refusal to get on board.

Denial and resistance to change guarantees a drawn out period of increased discomfort.  Remember: change happens.  Fighting anything, including change, will only ensure an unhappy workplace and personal life because dissatisfaction stays with you.  There’s a truism you should always remember: What you resist persists.

So, the solution, if you disagree with the change taking place, is not to be against it, but be for something different.  Then you can live and work in peace and happiness.  Just leave the “against” part out.  This may seem like a subtle difference, but it’s huge.  This allows you to work at something productive and with whoever is making the change.  It’s being productive, rather than destructive.

Although it’s almost always good, change is overwhelmingly perceived as a negative thing, mainly because of the lack of control one feels during the process.  The best method to counteract this, and control the effects of change around you, is to do things you can control in the most positive way: through random acts of kindness.

In Happy For No Reason, Marci Shimoff challenges individuals to “Spend a day relating to each person you meet as if he or she were your own mother, or your child, or your dearest relative.  Do this at work, when you’re shopping, participating in a group, doing an errand.  Make people feel important, loved, valued, respected, and appreciated, and do it as an active choice, with intention to put something wonderful into the world.  At the end of the day, notice how you feel.
 
“I strongly believe that if you do this it, it causes a ripple affect that can be seen throughout a company, family, and world-wide.  We never know the impact we have on individuals.  An act of kindness does not take a tremendous amount of energy, but the positive energy that it creates is tremendous.”  And doing this, even as a staff member, will set the example to those in management positions, and vice versa.  You’ll find positive change coming back on you.

The Arbinger Institute in their tremendous book “Leadership and Self-Deception” says something very similar: see others as people instead of as objects.

As one of the Think Out Loud partners put it: “We never know what changes are happening in a person’s life that makes them act the way they do.  All we can go by is what we see in the way they act.  But when you take some time to talk and listen to them, you find out that they are going through something too, and they appreciate you taking the time for them.  Giving them a compliment or a smile really makes somebody’s day, especially those people that rarely do get compliments.  The next time you see them they will make it a point to say “hi” or smile at you – and that just makes the day for both of you!”   Who wouldn’t want change of that kind.

A great example of investing in positive change for you and the positive affect it can have on someone is becoming a Big Brother or Big Sister.  …and what long-term affects this can have…  Tucson BBBS can be found at http://www.tucsonbigs.org/.  BBBS of American can be found at http://www.bbbs.org/site/c.diJKKYPLJvH/b.1539751/k.BDB6/Home.htm.

Interjecting kindness and positivity in any situation – even those which seem the most dire – can turn things around completely to show you that “Change Is A Good Thing”.

In closing, take note of the Optimist’s Creed during your times of change and understand that the result can always be great if you choose!  This is one of the tenets that Think Out Loud operates by.  To download your PDF copy of The Optimist’s Creed, click here.

Be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.
Make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
Look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
Think only of the best, work only for the best, and expect only the best.
Be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
Forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
Wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
Give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
Be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear,
and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.
Think well of yourself and proclaim this fact to the world – not in loud words, but in great deeds.
Live in the faith that the world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you.
