Change your Thoughts…Change your Life
There is an entire chapter devoted to resistance to change in You can Heal your Life by Louise Hay and another on how to change.
Change is really the stuff of living in all cultures. Babies grow, children develop, adults age and we all learn, adapt, or adjust along the way. The I Ching is the Chinese Taoist text that means the book of changes. It has been around for centuries. A great book on the adult stages of development is Passages by Gail Sheehy. We all have resistance to changes some of the time. Transitions mean loss and loss is painful. Even losing something that no longer serves us well means the loss of the familiar and, so, comfort zones (even the unhealthy kind) get eroded, which feels like a violation. Nobody wants to feel violated or disempowered. That is a normal initial reaction. It becomes problematic when it persists and interferes with natural evolution. While we might not be able to entirely control the changes, we can control our own thinking about what is in transition. Thoughts, even thoughts about resisting change, can be changed. Some thoughts may change quickly while older ones may take longer to change. From a brain perspective, the more we think a thought, the more we reinforce a neuropathway in our circuitry. It becomes entrenched, but recent discoveries in the field of neuroplasticity show that even hardened pathways in the brain can be rewired. Hope!
“The webs we create around ourselves need to be unwound. If you have ever untangled a ball of string, you know that yanking and pulling only makes it worse. You need to very gently and patiently unravel the knots. Be gentle and patient with yourself as you untangle your own mental knots. Get help if you need it. Above all, love yourself in the process. The willingness to let go of the old is the key. That is the secret.”
Louise Hay
