Change is a big part of life and it is happening all the time. The young get stronger, while the old get weaker. Some get new jobs,while some lose their jobs. Some meet new friends, while others have a fight with friends.
However, some people don't like changes. They want life to be predictable. They want to do the same things and see the same people every day. When something changes, it makes them feel uncomfortable, like a child who can't go to sleep unless all his toys are in their proper places. Here are some suggestions for these people when going through life changes.Having time to reflect（沉思）is important at any time in your life, and it's especially important during the changing time. Dealing with changes correctly is good for our self-growth. Everything in the future always seems nice and everything in the past seems to be filled with mistakes. Much later, the future will turn into the past when it surprises you with the unexpected. Find out why the change happens and what you have done with it. Find the things in the change that you can be thankful for. I lost money, but I'm thankful I can see how stupid I was then.
When we go through big changes, we think we are dealing with something no one else can understand or is going through. Sometimes we just don't want to cause trouble to others. But it's good to stay with positive people. They help you deal with changes, make you feel comfortable and help you look at things in a new way.
Setting smart goals（目标）helps you decide how to make the change happen and succeed. Also it encourages you to keep active.Write out your goals and make some plans to meet them. Start with small wins and then build up to bigger goals.
