- Learn all you can about your organizational changes. Read industry information to anticipate changes in your own organization. Always think bigger picture.
- Break old habits such as the route you take to work, which hand you brush your teeth with, or write with your non-dominant hand. Learn to regularly get uncomfortable so that when a bigger change occurs, you are used to the discomfort of little things.
- Develop and implement specific stress management strategies in your life to lessen the impact of the stress that change often brings: Watch what you eat and drink. Get the sleep you need in order to feel rested. Exercise regularly.
