Change can feel more daunting than it actually is. At first, it’s thrilling—an exciting vision of a better tomorrow. But as reality sets in, the number of steps required can seem overwhelming. Perhaps you’ve set expectations too high or realized that the life you’ve built doesn’t support the transformation you desire. It might feel like everything needs to change all at once.
But here’s the truth: the overwhelm isn’t about the change itself—it’s about the brain’s natural resistance to it. Your brain craves safety and predictability, even if your current situation isn’t ideal. The discomfort of change triggers fear and confusion, creating resistance that pulls you back toward the familiar—even if what’s known is what you’re trying to change.
One of the hardest parts of change is the “in-between” phase. It’s the time when what you used to be no longer fits, but who you’re becoming isn’t clear yet. It’s like walking through fog—you know you’re leaving something behind, but you can’t yet see the destination ahead. This uncertainty can feel paralyzing and often shakes our sense of identity. You’re no longer who you were, but you’re not fully who you’re becoming.
Here’s the key: embrace the discomfort. Clarity doesn’t always come first. It comes through action. Every small step forward, no matter how insignificant it seems, will eventually reveal more of the path ahead. Trust the process, and remember that this phase is temporary.
Imagine a hoarder—someone who has accumulated so many things that they can no longer move freely. Emotionally, we do the same thing. We collect outdated beliefs, fears, and patterns that take up mental and emotional space. As a result, we resist change—not because we don’t want it, but because we fear the loss it might bring, rather than seeing it as an evolution.
To make room for change, clear out what no longer serves you. This might involve letting go of old habits, outdated thoughts, or even toxic relationships. Growth requires truth—and the courage to ask uncomfortable questions that most of us avoid. If you feel resistance, that’s often a sign you’re on the right path.
