The next step after acknowledgement is acceptance of the changes as well as the need to adapt to them. Changes come in many different shapes and forms. Sometimes they are chosen by us. But more often than not, we are affected by changes of large scale that are beyond our control. Regardless of their nature (voluntary or not), we need to face those changes and deal with them maturely. Therefore, the sooner we accept them psychologically, the better off we are in terms of planning and finding solutions.
