Why is change so hard? What’s really holding people back? Why do some people seem to benevolently breeze through all of the changes that life demands of them, while others become unglued even if they have to change their laundry detergent? Although change is inherently part of everyday life, there are few things equal to the process of personal change. Human behavior is fueled and even captivated by habits which is one of the reasons change is so hard. However, there are other explanations. Change is a continuous process that interrupts or disrupts the conditions of life leading to a new way of thinking and behaving. Change always presents the challenge of beginning something new, ceasing old ways, reducing something or adding to it. I can think of no better relevant example of change than Covid19. People resist change because they believe they will lose something of value or fear they will not be able to adapt to the new ways. Because it jeopardizes their sense of security, they also withstand change if it remarkably alters their usual schedules. The three types of changes in life include personal change such as creating a new habit or eliminating an old one, then there’s physical changes like those that occur in the human body and external changes such as world or global transitions, corporate or work related ones, cultural and social changes, and, something everyone is reeling about right now, political reform in one way or another.

Our brains are much more sensitive to negative information than positive news. The reasoning and emotional areas of the brain must have balance to function properly. When the emotional part of the brain is overly excited, people lose control of their ability to respond sensibly. That’s why it’s important to pause, listen, seek information from all perspectives of issues and think before speaking. My work focuses on inspiration, motivation, and personal development through full potential living coaching wherein I help people define their purpose, vision, personal growth and plans of action as well as professional development through speaking, seminars, workshops and training. Seek help from a licensed mental health professional if you are in emotional distress since coaching is not counseling nor therapy. “The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) is the agency within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services that leads public health efforts to advance the behavioral health of the nation.  SAMHSA provides a list of warning signs and risk factors for emotional distress related to incidents of mass violence and other disasters. SAMHSA also has a number of resources if you or someone you know needs help in working through emotional...
