This episode, I talk about something that I hear from my clients all the time during our first few sessions together - that they are afraid of change, or experience a fear of change or fear of the unknown. I work with applicants and clients who often struggle with identifying this fear of change - who want to hold onto things, jobs, or social circles that they are familiar with, but may not be productive for them or good for their mental or physical health. Some of my clients struggle with identifying their feelings of complacency in a phase, job, or position that is not conducive to their own goals.
Change is something that we experience everyday, often to varying degrees. Change can be big or small, minor or major. The world around us changes everyday - nothing in this world ever stays the same, let alone ourselves. It’s what we do in the face of change that’s important.
I am here to tell you that change can actually be a good, productive thing. Change can lead to your growth and helps you avoid staying stagnant. Remember that change offers boundless opportunities for you, and the first step is to become comfortable with change. Join me in this episode to engage in a brief visualisation exercise in which we shift our mindset on change from “Will I?” to “How will I?”
Instead of asking “Will I get into the program that I want?” ask yourself “How will I get into the program that I want?” The “How will I” question is so important because it critically asks about a process that you plan to engage in, and even if that process is unknown, you at least know that there is a critically important process that needs to happen, that you need to engage with, to achieve your goal and to achieve the life you want beyond your wildest dreams.
