When we make any changes we are going into uncharted territory.
For some this shift will mean a feeling of relief and excitement. For others, this will mean an increase in anxiety.
Your fear response kicks in and you start to question if making a change is such a good idea.
Why the different responses?
We are unique so your response is also going to be unique, but generally if someone has had a negative response then the EGO has come into play.
Our EGO’s are amazing with the crap that they can come up with to keep you safe.
Your dysfunction, even though it may be terrible, can be like an old friend.
You know it so well.
Your EGO can keep you safe in that space even if you are miserable.
When you consciously decide to make some changes, the EGO doesn’t always like it, because it has been the boss for a long time and will do anything to not feel discomfort that the changes you consciously choose to make could bring.
Your EGO doesn’t know what will happen next and that scares it.
Here is the thing.
Anything new will cause a nervous or anxious response in the body.
This is normal!
This response helps us to be present, aware and ready to take action.
Your body does not know the difference between anxiety and excitement. It is the conscious mind that gives the label of negative or positive to the subconscious mind.
This means that if you are making changes or doing something new you can choose to be excited about it.
You can make the change easier for you by connecting to your why.
Why are you making these changes?
How are they going to benefit you in the long run?
This will also help the EGO feel safe, as it then has a point of reference rather than looking into the scary abyss of not knowing.
You can always tell if you are sitting in your EGO or not by how it feels. EGO constricts, controls, feels like you are being pushed and is coming from a place of fear. Not in EGO or being in the love state is expansive, flows, and feels like you are being pulled along and you are coming from a place of love.
Change is a constant in your life, and the less you resist it, the easier it is for you.
