ChangeArtist is an informational resource and supportive community for individuals going through change. There is also a book called ChangeArtist: Surviving Change, discussed below.
I (JoNel) have been through many, many changes in life, and I found that they often made me feel isolated or lonely, confused and anxious. This lead me to a desire to help others through changes, hopefully softening what can be a sometimes [Read more →]
Join the Forums!
The Forum is designed to visit with each other about changes, as well as to learn from one another. Each month, a $25 Starbucks gift card will be given to a randomly-selected Forum participant (or $25 will be donated to the charity of your choice).
Categories reflect not only my research interests as an educator and scientist, but also things that I have found are important to understand about oneself. This is your opportunity to share with others, to learn from others, and to help others learn about themselves.
Sign up for Paid Research!
Send your e-mail address (via Contact) for inclusion change-related research. Please include a summary of your changes, and/or direct me to your Forum entries. Research will commence when we have enough participants for valid study results. At that time, participants will be entered in random drawings for gift cards to Amazon, Starbucks, and other retailers (or an equal amount will be donated to the charity of choice). Other paid studies on social research will be available over time.
I find it fascinating to listen when people are really talking about something about which they feel passionately. Their voice becomes stronger. They speak more rapidly.
Sometimes they speak louder. Their voice quality changes in a way that moves the words they are saying from their mouth, into their throat, and then to their chest. My impression is always that the words are now coming from their heart.
The transformation is pretty remarkable. Ordinary conversations turn into passionate speeches. The difference is that their passion has been ignited.

Question: How do you eat an elephant? Answer: One bite at a time. This bit of folk humor is so true. No matter what task we have to tackle, we often can’t do it all at once. We can, however, take small steps toward completing the task. This is true for finding a new job, organizing your house and any number of other challenges you may face. You take action one step at a time.
I often ask my clients “What’s the next step?” This question gets you thinking about taking a particular action and this keeps the process moving. No matter what your challenge is, or how overwhelming it seems, you can ask yourself, “What’s the next step?” Asking this question will get you thinking about what you CAN do and what step you can take toward your particular challenge.

I received this article this morning as an e-mail. I cannot verify its contents, but found it interesting. I suppose everyone has their own ‘take’ on things: my trainer had told me to stay away from bananas, as they are high in sugar. So, there are two sides to every story. . . . I will be researching this more!! [Read more →]

A new job, a new city … Relocating is exciting — an opportunity for a major life change. But, if not carefully planned, it can also be expensive, stressful and a recipe for disaster. You don’t have to go it alone. Some employers may not only offer you financial help to relocate, they may even assist in planning and organizing your move. When relocating, you just need to know what to expect, what to request and how to ask for it. [Read more →]
