Given the political, financial, environmental and workplace upheaval that seems to be all around us, it's not surprising that so many of us feel a sense of hopelessness and helplessness. We're full of uncertainty and fed up with change.

But as Wayne hears this week from Management-Issues regular columnist, Peter Vajda, change and uncertainty aren't necessarily bad things. Instead of asking, "why is this change happening TO me", he suggests, ask why is it happening "FOR me". Don't fight change, accept it.

Nevertheless, he acknowledges, overload is a real issue. Overloading yourself with information quickly leads to fatigue. Focus on what's happening in your own life right here, right now, not what's happening everywhere else to everyone else.

So how can we handle ourselves better? What tips and techniques can we adopt to handle change and uncertainty better?
