Episode 4037: Sabrina shares why resisting change often creates more suffering than the change itself, offering practical ways to move forward with resilience and self-compassion. From letting go of unhelpful venting to focusing on small daily progress, these insights can help you feel calmer, more grounded, and better prepared for life’s inevitable transitions. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://buddingoptimist.com/embracing-change/ Quotes to ponder: “Venting is about expressing negative emotions, not solving problems.” “Where are our eyes? They’re not on the side or the back of our heads. They’re set at the front facing forward. Why? To remind us to look ahead.” “Every step forward, no matter how tiny it seems, deserves a pat on the back.” Episode references: European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology: https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/pewo20 Stumbling on Happiness: https://www.amazon.com/Stumbling-Happiness-Daniel-Gilbert/dp/1400077427 Learn more about your ad choices.
