Coping with change
As humans we are programmed to look out for danger and to avoid it. This helps us survive. We grow to like familiar things and prefer to avoid change. We can see change as a potential threat. However, some change is inevitable and most change is not a threat, but we are programmed to be wary and suspicious of change which can cause stress and unhelpful patterns of thought. We have a big brain which can make us worry in a big way. Our personality has a huge influence on our response to change.
Does change affect you the way it does people who share your personality animal?
Clownfish generally respond well to change
They like variety and action and seek change rather than avoid it. Perhaps too much? They can neglect to finish something before starting the next project. It is good to keep things fresh and varied but do finish the important tasks on time. Clear signs of stress are obsessing with your health, fitness and details that are usually unimportant.
Clownfish are daydreamers and spend more time than most animals imagining different scenarios
They tend to change jobs, houses, friends, cars, and hairstyles more than others. This can be exhausting for those close to them. Be careful not to create so much change that you overextend yourself and become stressed.
Clownfish like to be nice to people and sometimes promise too much
You can't help everyone all of the time without burnout so you may need to learn to say no sometimes. They can be overwhelmed by the big things in life and worry about climate change, injustice, poverty and so on. Identify a few key causes and make a positive contribution to these as your way to make the world a better place.
