Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change we seek.
Barack Obama

Change can be very scary, particularly if change is forced upon us. There are also times when we choose to change, and that too can create anxiety no matter how much we actually want the change. And, of course, there are times when we can find ourselves under pressure to change and we're just not ready, not interested in changing.

Change, though, is inevitable as nothing can or does stay exactly the same, even when we're desperate for it to do so. As we get older, our values, what's important to us, change, society evolves, technology advances, scientific knowledge increases, and the list goes on. Added to this is our own internal need to seek more and more, and that sense of being stuck in a rut if we do not. Additionally, we are at times acutely aware of change and on occasions find ourselves looking back nostalgically on what we believe were better times.

There are, I think, two aspects to change. The first is understanding where we are in any change process, and the Satir Change Model provides understanding of that process.

The second, and for me, the more important, is taking time to review our current situation, our current model of the world. Time to take stock. Time to evaluate what we do, what we have, what we are.
