What makes people change? We are habit lovers, we do the same thing all over again, even if it is painful, unhealthy love affair, messing up our career, procrastination, overeating, overspending, overdrinking. The easiest thing is to regret next day and do nothing… to change.
Scientists would say”blame your brain”, but I’d say we are bigger than just instinctive animals, we are bigger than just our synapses, we are bigger than just a computer. We are bigger than that. But we need to become conscious that We can and need to find a good reason Why.
Without focus on self-development people only change in times of huge suffering, losses, big traumas or crisis that we are experiencing now. How to change without a stick? It brings us to the fundamental question “what makes you tick?”
- If you are willing to change your career, but fear is holding you back, every day do a small step towards that change. If you are an emotional eater, drinker, gambler, find out what your unrequited need is and find a more appropriate way to fulfill it. If you find yourself in messed up relationships, focus on self-love and acceptance.
