How do you decide to make changes in your life?

Feelings don't lie
"I'm not who I should be - everyone sees it," Bernard shares his feelings sadly. He is the main character of a fashion series about the world of utopia, in which people are constantly happy because they take special pills that block negative emotions. But even these miracle capsules do not save the hero from feeling: he is not at ease. When Bernard admits that this feeling is real, he finds himself at the beginning of the adventure.

In the same scenario, everything happens in reality. As soon as a person understands: he does not like his life, then a psychological choice appears. Either be active and change something, or go deeper into your hole and stay in the familiar, albeit monotonous world.
Change breeds fear
Any change is scary. In psychology, this is called the fear of the new. It is usually combined with anxious doubts and fear that it will only get worse. A person can also be afraid of their own success. For example, that it will become too good, and then he will find himself in a new uncharted territory, in which there will be a lot of incomprehensible.

Therefore, before you come to change, you need to work out your feelings. Take a metaphorical lens and look closely at how you feel when you think about change. It seems that there should be only positive emotions: joy, awe of the new, anticipation of pleasure, interest. But in fact, people also experience confusion, anxiety, irritation, a sense of powerlessness and misunderstanding. But do not be afraid of negative emotions.

They act as a navigator along the life path. Just as traffic lights tell us when to cross a road, and signs explain speed limits, so our senses signal us what to pay attention to and not to do something stupid.
What causes change
The desire for development and the desire to preserve the familiar, even the destructive, go hand in hand with each other. There is always a risk that a person will start a change and then face novelty, confusion and the first difficulties. It will be too much for him to solve them, and he sadly trudges back.

In order not to turn off the right path, you need to remember from what desire the idea of \u200b\u200bchange was born. It is important to keep it like a light in the wind, not to depreciate and not to forget about the ultimate goal. People tend to convince themselves: "It's too late to change something" or "There is a great risk of not coping with our plans."
