The Hidden Force Behind Resistance to Change: Fear...

Hello Friend!

Who hates change? I do I do! I never realized how much resistance we can experience when it comes to change. I have had numerous conversations with people about changes they want to make, changes they have been forced to make as well as changes that they are afraid to make. Think about it…anytime that you are faced with an opportunity to change, whether good or bad, what do you do?

I know for myself, I either process it myself or reach out to someone. Now, I firmly believe that I am worthy of good things and deserve support and kindness from others...but that doesn't mean, change isn’t  scary....because it is. Even when we are faced with positive change, it still can scare the shit out of us!

Why?

Because many of don’t like change because of the unknown. Were we taught that we would never be good enough or that trusting people always ends in pain or disappointment? Have we been hurt by unexpected change or has unexpected change affected us in ways that affected  That’s the struggle with change…there are no guarantees. Change is scary…so is staying the same.

We always think that we “ will always have time”…but one thing life has taught me is that time is a privilege that we can run out at any time and everything can change in a moment. I want to ask you just a couple questions:

1. How have you grown this last month as a person?

2. What is one change that you have HAD to make this past month? 

3. What is one change that you CHOSE to make this past month? 

And remember…you aren’t alone this any of this…because I believe in you!

Have a beautiful week!
