Recognize and Regulate Your Reactions During Change

Why does change feel so difficult? We live in a constant state of change. Yet, as humans, we’re naturally programmed to resist change. This creates tension between our need for stability and the demand to evolve and grow. Change can be intimidating due to a perceived loss of control, and transitioning from the known to the unknown can evoke uncertainty, triggering emotions and even physical reactions. Navigating this tension, however, is essential not only for our personal well-being but also for the success of our organizations and communities.

The biggest obstacle to change is people. Our ability to embrace change impacts our ability to innovate and thrive in our environment. Balancing our instinct to resist change with the need to evolve is key.
