Change is stressful, often frightening. At a time when everything around you is changing, it’s essential to monitor how you respond to change, and to cultivate healthy ways of dealing with the fears that often arise, when the status quo dissolves before your eyes. M. J. Ryan has developed sound strategies that will help you understand your innate coping mechanisms, and learn to take a more conscious approach to life’s transitions, so you can create the positive outcomes you desire. She sees this time of global change as an opportunity to move toward deeper connection with one another and with ourselves, because, “we really are being asked to learn how to work and relate and live in new ways. The more we can turn to one another and use one another as resources, and support one another in what we’re doing—that’s what this time is about.” By applying her simple techniques you’ll create a network of partners among friends, family, and community, and reconnect with the bedrock of your own nature that survives no matter how much the world changes from day to day.
