When things change, it’s easy to feel frustrated and grumpy, to complain that things aren’t the way they used to be.
Hearing yourself complain is just one way you can become aware that you’re expecting things to be different and feel disappointed. Complaining keeps you stuck and you can go round and round in circles asking ‘why’ which allows no room for moving forwards
The fact is – life today isn’t the way it used to be. There are staff shortages, challenges with supply chains, price increases, financial concerns, there’s war, climate change, all of which have an impact.
Here in Vanuatu we haven’t seen onions for weeks…and last week I had to laugh when I saw half an onion for sale online! In the end, you can choose how to be with change – you can react or respond – it’s always good to find a sense of humour in the situation.
You can cry over no onions or you get creative…and use shallots, leeks, spring onions, or celery instead!
