" It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change."🌀

Charles Darwin


Feeling afraid of change because we're often unable to imagine ourselves outside our comfort zone, clinging to the shore because we don't know where the new currents will take us, literally resisting change, is a human and understandable mechanism, but it has the ability to make us feel stuck and static. Resistance is an invisible obstacle that makes us want to stay where we are and believe that moving forward is unnecessary, but as I've heard countless times... "Change is inevitable."

Personally, I'm someone who still resists change, but I also recognize that I do so a little less compared to my self two months ago. For example, sometimes it takes a lot of effort for me to maintain the good habit of exercising. Although I've already developed a personal routine that I've tested and have noticed some results, I still struggle to stick with it. So I can say that my resistance to changing habits is quite strong. I still have a hard time processing the fact that the first thing I do in the day is take a shower and go exercise. My mind is aware that it's for a positive change, whether for my health, looking better, or developing my discipline, but at the same time, it always chooses the most comfortable action, and comfort is the antonym of change.

Often, a lack of motivation or impatience makes it even more difficult, and I'm still far from saying that I have a well-developed habit. But giving up is not an option, and I know that every day will be a new opportunity to improve, because I'm sure that one day, not resisting change will be one of my strongest points and to declare with certainty that change is inevitable

Your reflection feels honest and relatable. Change truly is uncomfortable, but your awareness and persistence are already signs of growth. Keep going—you’re on the right path.

Yes, it’s uncomfortable many times, but it’s part of the process. Thank you very much for your visit and your kind words. Have an excellent day

The only constant is change, but we are creatures of habit and surely with discipline, soon that which we resisted will become a new habit and life will bring us new challenges. Although personally I find change difficult, I am aware that life without change is meaningless and would not be possible, in fact.

What a great way of thinking! That’s how it is, feeling stuck or unable to change can also be something we regret in the future. I believe it’s better to change little by little and let ourselves be guided toward a better version of ourselves. Thank you very much for your visit
