How Do You Feel About Change?

Change can be scary – it can be difficult – it can cause anxiety.

So why do we have so much trouble dealing with change?

1. Difficult saying goodbye – whether it be to a loved one or a world that has given identity, change can often mean that we lose something of value.
2. Dislike chaotic and confusing situations in which no one seems to know the new rules. This loss in direction can lead to a fear of the unknown.
3. Difficulty taking risk. We are creatures of habit which provides us with security, predictability, stability, and comfort. When this disappears, we become anxious and stay awake at night worrying about our choices.
