Breaking Barriers: Overcoming Resistance...

SALLY
About this episode

Send us a text

Have you ever stood at the edge of a life-altering decision, heart pounding with a mix of dread and excitement? Yeah, of course you have, you ARE human after all! I'm Sally, and in our latest episode, I get real about the push and pull of change.

Together, we'll navigate through the reasons why stepping into the unknown can be downright terrifying, yet utterly transformative. We're talking about the comforting lies of routine, the paralyzing grip of fear, and the illusion of control that keeps us tethered to the familiar. But here's the truth—stagnation hurts more than the leap ever will. Let's unwrap the growth and  deeper connection to self, that are often just one brave step away.

I'll take you through TEN  reasons  why people may struggle with change, FIVE ways that hurt ourselves when we resist change, and offer TEN steps that you can take to enact change and embrace a whole new way of being.

Ten Reasons  Change Is Hard:

Fear of the Unknown
Comfort Zone
Loss of Control
Risk Aversion
Emotional Attachment
Past Experiences
Perceived Threats
Lack of Awareness
Inertia
Cultural Norms


Five Ways We Resist Change:

Missed Opportunities
Stagnation

Limited Perspectives
Emotional Well-being
Missed Personal Development

TEN Steps To Embrace Change:

Self-Reflection
Set Clear Goals
Create A Plan
Seek Support
Embrace Flexibility
Challenge Your Comfort Zone
Practice Self-Compassion
Visualize Success
Celebrate Progress
Stay Persistent



Final quote from this episode comes from Barak Obama: 

"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek."
