I don't know about you, but I have some strong resistance to change once I get comfortable.
For example, I hate to get new cars, phones, computers and even house slippers and pajamas.
I get comfortable with the way things fit, feel, operate and where the buttons are and everything.
Updates and upgrades even stress me out. It's ridiculous. Something literally has to die before I replace it.
When my computer started showing signs of aging, I new it would need to be replaced and I felt ill. I avoided it and revived it many times before I finally gave in at my husband's urging.
And, of course, once I caved, there is the adjustment period that seems time consuming and uncomfortable.
Just like in life.
When life requires you to grow and change, the upgrade can be uncomfortable.
Here's the thing, it's FEAR. There are 3 things that you fear when it comes to how you live each day of your life.
- Fear of Loss - that by changing or advancing in your life, you will lose something important to you.
- Fear of the Process - the mere act or process of changing will be too hard for you.
- Fear of the Outcome - that all the effort you put into changing may not lead to a better outcome in your life and the grass might not be greener on the other side.
These are fears that keep you stuck. And, that's where you get to access courage.
Courage to make a decision and to make the decision right. Courage to be committed and to get support in overcoming the fear.
Is there a goal or dream that you want to accomplish and don't know how? How long will you chose to sit in the fear and not take action?
As I sit here typing on my brand new computer, I'm noticing how fast and easy everything is after making the investment upgrade and spending a couple of frustrating days transferring, reloading, and accessing all my "stuff".
It was worth it and I know it will make my days less frustrating and easier to navigate. The Mac spinning wheel was not serving me. Haha!
If you know that fear is holding you back and you are tired of being stuck in your zone of comfort, not moving forward and fully thriving in every area of your life, I've got a plan for you.
