Why change can be hard

Change can bring with it…

Confrontation with things we may not want to, or be ready to, face.

A threat to our autonomy, sense of safety and security.

Disruption of the status quo.

The need for skills we may not be sure we have.

And a challenge to our identity or beliefs.

In other words, is it any wonder that we would be ambivalent or resistant to change?

And that maybe it isn’t because you don’t want something enough, or aren’t motivated enough.

But simply that you are human, with competing desires, commitments and priorities.
