Change is inevitable, no doubt, but still, we fear it and crave it at the same time.

Possible Causes

We fear change when we don’t understand it, when the reason, value and purpose are obscure. When is forced upon us, we simply react. When it impacts our priorities.

Examples like these;

• Our upbringing with the constant "don't do this", "don't do that", and "be quiet".
• Some schools with their rigid and very structured approach, equally matched with the corporate hierarchy
• The cities, laws, traffic lights all systems of control that keep us in a comfortable and predictable story, contribute to the fear of change for a majority and the inverse for a minority

Contribute to the way we accept and perceive change.

At work

How many times we have received that email, that video, that message from a town-all informing about a big change that requires everyone's help, promising great things, laying down utopic objectives? Causing everyone to have their interpretation of what needs to be done, feeding confusion and ultimately fear of change.

Personal Life

Our state of mind come into play when it comes to priorities. New year resolutions are like a sugar rush, an initial burst of excitement that ends up in a short crash. Leaving undecided ideas and decisions floating for the next 365 days.

Environmental

We are what we eat, and where we live, our beliefs do impact our decisions.

The Novelty-Seeking Behavior – The Main Reason You Are Easily Bored

Probably since the beginning of our journey on this planet, we crave change and novelty. What’s beyond that tree, that lake, that mountain? We adapt ourselves to walk great distances to know what lurks ahead.

We want a stable and predictable way of life, but novelty-seeking kicks in and we get bored, looking for the new next thing.

• The stories of 6 figure salary people that give up their job to start doing what they like
• People that suddenly go live in the woods or at the farm, away from cities and people
• People with double and quadruple PhDs
• People who with nothing become a reference in our society
• The apps on our phones that do everything to get our attention promising a new thing in every notification or feature

So what can be done to embrace change

At work – Preparing for change is a must. Proactively seeking answers and asking questions, reading about how change makes us feel can help, seeking professional help or simply sharing your concerns with a friend makes a huge difference.

Personal life – Take the time to know yourself better, knowing how to control your emotions is a great ally in your toolkit

Environmental – Change things around your house, take a different route while driving, move to another house, keep things tidy, get to know your neighbours for example, diversify your diet, and try different things. Go out there, and know your environment to avoid surprises.

Change! You can either accept it or reject it, either way it can make you grow or stop you.
