Change is a CONSTANT!

Posted on November 27, 2022

We humans are creatures of habit. We love our comfort zones. Our feelings follow this zone. Anything outside of this zone is an "unknown" and the unknown scares us. It is by our biological design that we tend to seek the feeling of security.

But life is about change. Everything in life, from the day we are born is bound by change. Change is inevitable. How do we keep up with the process that by its inherent nature urges us to explore new horizons. Most challenging part of change is the emotional turbulence one faces. If we are prone to make our decisions based on emotions, change will become an extremely difficult adversary. In a fast changing world of instant results, we go with the flow and become creatures of the habit of short attention span. Anything that "feels" it takes time and effort, we try to find an app or a shortcut to it. In doing so, we have begun a process that cripples our brain's capacity to be in the moment. Instead our minds become slaves to the  dopamine rush.

We have the power to make a different choice. However it is not as easy because we need to not only override the choice in the moment but also encounter and neutralize the muscle memory at different levels. The memory of the feeling, memory of how our body reacted to that feeling, memory of what the outcome was the last time we felt it. That is why change is hard to sustain unless we prepare ourselves with the ability to tackle these memories and make a paradigm shift about change.

Change is not going to stop because we are uncomfortable. We have to understand it rather than despise it. To understand change, we need to understand that it is vital for our well being to embrace change. However there needs to be a context to change. Change has to be purposeful. Change should lead to a desired outcome. Changes that are fundamentally based in the timeless, universal principles, will always bear fruits in the long run.

Hope as you learn about change, you are able to master your ability to embrace it and open doors of possibilities for you!
