Can change work for
us?
By Lee-Anne Peters
I had to deal with
changes from very early on like many people – with parents separating from a
very early age, lots of changes in school, moving house, the only constant I
really had in all of that was myself. As the eldest of four girls I learned
early on how to be independent, however I was always very unconfident and I
never really had an opinion. When I left school and studied hairdressing for
four years my confidence increased which then married nicely with my natural
independence.

Hairdressing gave me
new insight into the FLOW, for hair had its own flow depending on how it grew,
its texture, density and elasticity and I just LOVED cutting and styling hair
to work well in this flow. I knew the FLOW had to work well because my clients
could have a nice shaped haircut that would last several more weeks than the
average!
This is where I
started to explore change further, and over the past fifteen years I have been
taking this further through my self healing journey. I noticed that CHANGE in
fact is a natural cycle – just like the sun rising and setting, and the way the
seasons change. Then I began to notice changes happening on more personal and
intimate levels with my emotions, my motivation, my attitude and the simple ebb
and flow of my body systems. Yep – I saw change to be normal and natural – but then
WHY sometimes was there much resistance to change?
I have found that the
more I have EXPECTATIONS on something - then it doesn’t work out and
it deeply hits me. So every day I am working on releasing my expectations and
refining how I go with the flow.

I work on being the observer
and not getting too closely involved with the nitty gritty of my life
situations, but to observe and then do my best to turn any challenge into an
opportunity to again further improve myself.
In regards to my
dreams, I always do my best to be an active player in my dreams – bringing them
to life through focus, determination and action.
On my radio show /
podcast today I shared some further experiences and perspectives about change,
flow and trust. There is also a meditation to help you understand more about
what change means for you. It’s a free listen and is only 60mins in length.

As I’ve learned to
become more joyful and flexible with CHANGE I notice it works more and more for
me. I dive into the river of mine and I trust the current will take me exactly where
I need to be. I do my best not to struggle swimming upstream exhausting myself,
but to have fun on the journey!
