This weeks #socialbloggers chat was all around life changes. Change and the unknown can be scary and hard to deal with. Whether your moving house, going to uni, getting married – it can be daunting for sure.
How do you feel about change and how good at dealing with it are you?
Q1: Have you gone through any big life changes recently?
@skinnedcartree the past 2 years I’ve been housebound after reconstruction surgery on my leg, I’m now finally mobile on my own ?

interesting chat! Changes are always a chance to grow, even when they’re difficult.
Thank you for this post! It was very interesting to read the answers and I see a lot of people have/had really challenges. Personally I like changes in my life – I feel bored by doing constantly the same things. My biggest life change was a difficult situation in my family in the context of our childern …

What an enlightening chat. Even when we fight it changes are mostly inevitable in our lives at some point.
So interesting to read the responses. I absolutely hate change and usually avoid it where possible. I’ve been in the same job for 3.5 years, been with my husband for around 10 years and never lived more than 10 minutes away from where I was born…the end of 2012 was very different though. I got married, moved out and finished university all within a month. My anxiety was the worst it had ever been at the time.
I’m not a fan of change, but I, also, don’t like things to stay the same. I guess I’m full of contradictions.
Wow some monumental changes. This was an interesting chat. I think my biggest changes were loosing my dad and the birth of Noah. Have a baby changes your world Lucy x
Wow I have undergone some huge and unexpected changes already in 2017.
On 1st January my partner decided we should part and once he’s made a decision action is required, within 25 days I’d moved! I’m 57 and not without baggage.
