Making Changes

for 13 år siden 0 +0 / -0 21

In talking about change, I believe it is fear of success, just as much of fear of failure that prevents one from taking a step. Rather than look at all the changes I want to make (overwhelming!), I have been trying to focus on being proactive, rather than reactive in daily situations and in my self care. It's a lifestyle change that I think will benefit so many simple area's of life - eating heathier, not smoking, exercising, and eventually it will impact relationships, my work, and the larger decisions I may have to make down the road.

Thank you for this topic Tiana. I have been back and forth in my head as to why I should or shouldn't see my doctor -doctors are an anxiety trigger for me. But in writing this responds, my own want to be proactive in my life dictates that I need to see my doctor to take proper care of myself right now.

Wellandhappy, I think it takes great strength to live in a foreign country.

What a great topic.

Yes, change scares me. I live in a foreign country an I know that at some point I either will have to a) go back home, or b) move to another country, and I find both things quite scary.

I also would like to change jobs eventually, but I also find that quite scary.

At the moment I am quite happy with my living situation, however I know at some stage I will need to move on... scary!!

Another thing I would love to do is change careers, but there's too much fear there as well. What if I don't like it? What if it doesn't make me as happy as I thought it would? What if I fail? What if it is too hard? What if I don't make enough money to live comfortably? So many 'what if's'....

I have done some great changes on my lifestyle and that was not scary. But I don't know how to go about the next major changes that I just described, and which I think which will probably be the following changes I will have to face in my life.

Hi Members,

Let's talk about change. Have you heard the old adage: the devil you know is better than the devil you don't? Has that idea ever factored into your decision to avoid making changes to your lifestyle, or more specifically, the issue you are dealing with on this site? Also, there is the fear of failure when you make big changes to your life. The pressure of fear can prevent you from even taking the first step, or perhaps 'allow' you to give up at the first challenge so as to relieve that pressure. Then there are friends and family and everyone else that you tell about your impending change. How they respond can make a difference to how you perceive the change and/or your ability to make it happen successfully!

Feel free to share your stories about how you have dealt with your desire to change, successes and challenges.
