As so much has happened over the course of the past year or so along with me comprehending the necessity of adhering to my medication requirements, I am learning the necessity of learning to roll with the changes that have been made that I may not agree with but because they have been deeply rooted in my mind, have been difficult to let go of.

As autistic folks, we strive to follow a routine. But when that routine is changed among the many other changes in our lives, it can cause some friction in the way that it is delivered or the willingness to adapt to the new schedule, even if it is better. It can be hard especially if something is relayed by someone that you see in a very trivial role and not in the way that it was created to be put into effect.

Then there comes the fact that I want to play the blame game when changes are made or other resentments are made about the why and how things are but in reality those changes are made for the betterment of the ebb and flow of the day, but because my mind has been stuck in a previous schedule that was easier to manage, it can be hard to adapt and roll with the change, especially if there is a rooted history of conflict or it involves something that we are deeply rooted in.

If I really want to work on my overall wellness, part of that is learning to accept, adapt and roll with the changes that arise in my daily palate. It is letting go of what was in the past because it is no longer adaptable to what the current situation dictates and I am not the one that makes the decision about all the changes that have been made, I must learn that I am in a situation where I must learn to accept the changes that have been made.

I would do it in any other way such as work or anything else I am involved in and not react in such a way that would be conflicting, therefore it is important to learn to work at being the better person that just rolls with the changes and does what is necessary to prepare myself for what lies ahead.

Many times we base how something is delivered on the basis of the person without realizing that the change is made as a whole for everyone’s benefit and allowing the energy of others to take charge of our anxiety and unwillingness to accept the necessity of change and be unwilling to accept that things may look and feel different even if we may think they seem silly to us.

It is the fact that things are not what they used to be and we as people who are resistant to change need to be willing to try to see how things operate before being judgmental about how things are going to be or whether they are a total failure or not because it is not totally my decision. It is important to roll with all the changes no matter how hard they may be. Because reacting to them negatively will get you nowhere in life.
