Our 6 C-H-A-N-G-E Tips

C - Control negative thoughts -

stop judging yourself harshly - don’t fixate on what will be lost by making the change - it will prevent you from seeing the good possibilities.

A - Allow yourself to freak out -

feel the fear - cry, shout, pout - whatever -

this will allow you to process the emotions associated with the change -

N - Narrate your own story -

let go of perceived societal expectations - go with the flow. Life doesn’t give you a manual.

Hello Out There! Changes Up Ahead. Why We Fear Change Explained

Hey you. We want you to know that you are NOT alone. We all experience some level of fear when faced with changes even at the most minute level. In this episode, we will discuss why we fear change and shed some light on a few ways to overcome it. We are so glad to have you on this journey with us to find triumph in business and our personal lives.

8 Reasons we fear change

1. Change is risky. When your brain senses risk your defence mechanism kicks in.

2. Uncertainty is more stressful than predictable negative outcomes. We’d rather face predictable negative outcomes than face uncertainty and risk that something good could happen.

3. The unknown is scary. Change is all about moving into the unknown. Fear causes unclear and irrational thinking and behavior.

4. Your brain hates loss - especially when you have an emotional investment - you don’t want to lose all the time and effort that you’ve already exerted.

5. Your brain wants a steady as she goes life. Change challenges the info stored in your brain - trust is broken - any change that is inconsistent with your core beliefs will be scary and stressful

6. We’re so afraid of what others will think we’re afraid to try. Your brain convinces you that people will judge you and your decisions regarding the change you are making.

7. Your brain may tell you stories. You may fear that you won’t survive and thrive - You become convinced that the lies your brain is telling you are truths.

8. We equate change with mistakes. If you're considering a change then everything you've been doing up to now must be a mistake - not true - another lie that your brain has concocted to protect you and keep you in your comfort zone.

Take Away - Remember that your brain is trying to protect you from danger. It perceives anything outside of your comfort zone as something it needs to fight or run away from.

YOU ARE YOUR BEST ASSET. Any change that may increase your joy and allow you to live your BEST life is worth a chance. Embrace the change.
