Just because something feels familiar doesn’t mean it’s healthy or beneficial
Ever felt overwhelmed by the curveballs life throws at you? This episode of The Millennium Counseling Center Podcast tackles just that – embracing change and uncertainty. Hosted by experienced counsellors, the discussion dives into how we can navigate life’s unpredictable turns with a balanced mindset and an open heart. The hosts break down the emotional impact of significant life changes, like moving or ending a relationship, and how these events can stir up anxiety and fear.
They stress the importance of staying present and not getting lost in future anxieties, which is easier said than done, right? But they’ve got practical strategies to help you stay grounded. The episode also highlights the concept of familiar vs. comfortable. Just because something feels familiar doesn’t mean it’s healthy or beneficial. The hosts share anecdotes about clients who have found themselves stuck in unhealthy but familiar patterns, and how breaking free from these can be both challenging and rewarding.
They emphasise that change often involves discomfort – think of it like running a marathon. It’s tough, it hurts, but the end result is worth it. One key takeaway is the idea of reserving judgement on whether a change is ‘good’ or ‘bad’. Life is full of unknowns, and what seems negative at first might turn out to be a blessing in disguise. The hosts encourage a mindset of curiosity and openness to whatever outcomes may arise.
They also discuss how important it is to control what you can and let go of what you can’t – easier said than done, but crucial for mental well-being. This episode is packed with relatable stories, practical advice, and a touch of humour to keep things light. If you’re dealing with change or know someone who is, this episode offers a comforting hand and some valuable insights. Tune in to learn how to face life’s uncertainties with courage and grace.
