Adapting to Change by Meditation

Adapting to any kind of change in your life can be very stressful. The one thing I have learned when it comes to any kind of change is to keep it on a positive level. To do this I stay calm by meditating and keep it all in perspective. I was talking to a friend how I was very apprehensive about a change I would soon have to make in my life. She told me that almost over 20 years ago she had bought a brand new car and it was parked in an alley next to her house. She walked out of the house just in time to see a car that looked pretty old scrape the front fender of her new car.

As she continued to tell me what happened she let me know that she was trying her best to stay calm and she knew she had to meditate and stay focused on the situation. She went on to tell me that the driver got out of his car,threw his hat on the ground,then hung his head,holding it in his hands.She knew that he obviously didn't have insurance or money to pay for the damage on her car. My friend told me how the man was just about to cry over what happened. My friend said she was still trying to meditate to keep things in perspective.She walked up to the man to talk to him.She could see he was very nervous and expected my friend to be very angry and say terrible things to him. Instead of getting angry she thought about the many blessings she had in her life and said to the man,don't worry about that little scrape and that it was hardly noticeable.

The man began to cry tears of happiness and hugged my friend. He then ran to his wife who was in the car very upset about what happened,and he told his wife how nice the lady was. My friend introduced herself to the wife and told them how using meditation helped her to focus on the positive side of things. As it ends up the man,his wife,and my friend became the best of friends.My friend told me here it is 20 years later,and even though the man has since past away,and his wife is in the home for the elderly,my friend still visits the lady every week and they still laugh about how the came to meet.Using meditation will certainly help you think about the situation it is that you are in and not to act on impulse,but to handle whatever situation you are in and act responsibly. After my friend and I talked I thought about how I could adapt to change. I would have to use positive thinking and could make a bad situation into something that will have a very special meaning in my life.After our talk I went home and started to use meditation to relax myself,and now I feel much better about the change I have to make and also the way I feel about my life.
