We like
it when there has been no change around for a while in this gift of life. At some point in time, we get used to how we live, and that's
the evident and obvious reason for why we don't like change. But the reasons
also run deeper than that. We also fear the new because of the ambiguity it
brings. For some, though, change is a new beginning, a
fresh start.
Neuroscience
research teaches us that doubt registers in our brain
much like mistakes and inaccuracies do. It has to be corrected before we can
feel at ease again, so we'd rather not have that hanging in the air if we can
avoid it. We also dread change because we fear that we might lose what's linked
with that change. Our hatred of loss can even cause logic to dash out the
window. This is why the study shows that gamblers at a horse track who are
having a day of loss are most likely to gamble on the long shots, at terrible
odds, on the very last race of the day. They're faced with the comprehension,
utter realization of loss and are willing to bet on it with 20:1 odds, a bet
they'd by no means walk in thinking they'd make--all for the reason that of our
violent aversion to loss.
Career
Research
indicates that fright of change is one of the single most job limiting moves
you can make. This fear flows down in a number of behaviors that have been
linked to undersize consideration for top management positions. Rise above for
this change.
Competence
You
must consider you have the capability for change. The truth is you must believe
you have the competence to handle. And you must essentially believe that change
will only make you a better person. This requires letting go of how amazing
things used to be and to stop joining anti-change groups that use their time complaining
about the transformation. Because who knows – it can be a
positive one!
Core
Finally,
keep in mind the core of you- the things that will not change. Change makes us
feel untethered and like we're whirling in the wind. Do some self-help and
find your anchor and remember in the power of Now.
Change comes to those who have strong emotional intelligence. There is both common good and bad in it, but if we always fear it, we would not grow at all.
