There is one thing in our lives that remains constant . . . change! Some changes are good and some bring sadness. Sometimes we are filled with excitement, sometimes dread. No matter what the change, there is a process we go through to successfully handle change.

Change is an event that is situational and continual: the new boss, the new relationship, the new house, the new job. In his book, Managing Transitions--Making the Most of Change, William Bridges defines transition as, "The process people go through coming to terms with the new situation." He explains "change is external," or comes from outside of ourselves. It can be forced or something we choose to do. "Transition is internal." It is our emotional reaction and attitude we use in deciding to accept, adapt, or resist change. Transition usually starts with an ending or the realization that things are not going to stay the same. In order for us to move forward and have some control over the outcome, we need to let go of the past and start exploring all our options and opportunities.
