Lesson Overview
1.3 – Identifying Common Reactions to Change: Everyone reacts differently to life shifts, yet patterns repeat. Some people withdraw; others rush ahead without reflection. Emotional reactions like anger, sadness, or denial are normal. Physical signs such as fatigue or restlessness often appear. Recognizing these responses helps you label what you feel instead of being controlled by it. You learn that reactions are temporary, not permanent states. Awareness builds emotional intelligence, helping you adapt faster. Identifying common reactions helps you prepare before crisis hits. By naming your responses, you take back control and move forward with confidence.
