Why Change Feels Hard (And How to Make It Easier)
Why We Resist Change (Even When We Want It)
Change is the thing we all say we want—until we’re actually in the middle of it.
We crave growth, adventure, and transformation, but when the moment comes? We freeze. We resist. We long for the comfort of the familiar.
Why Change Feels Uncomfortable
Our Brains Hate Uncertainty – We’re wired to seek safety, and change disrupts what feels “safe.”
Identity Clashes – Growth requires letting go of parts of ourselves—even ones we’ve outgrown.
We Fear the Unknown – What if it doesn’t work out? What if we’re making a mistake?
How to Make Change Easier
Reframe Discomfort as Growth – Instead of seeing uncertainty as a threat, see it as proof that you’re evolving.
Build a ‘Bridge’ Between the Old and New – Don’t just rip the Band-Aid off; create small steps that make change feel safer.
Surround Yourself with the Right People – Growth is easier when you have people who support (not sabotage) your transformation.
Closing: Step Into the New
Change isn’t something to fear. It’s something to step into—with curiosity, courage, and a willingness to see what’s waiting on the other side.
