Real success is birthed in adaptability. Unfortunate events, ranging from scams, sickness, relationship problems and job stress, can stop your progress if you let them<\/em>. To stay sharp, you have to adapt. This applies to good change too. After all, it\u2019s not just undesirable experiences that create emotional and behavioral challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is due, in part, to how your brain works. Your brain is a complex organ that works hard to protect you. At first glance, that may sound like a win-win. Yet, it comes with results that could produce mental blocks and resistance to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thrive \u2013 Getting Beyond Survival<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Forbes<\/em> puts it this way, \u201cThe key aim of the brain is survival.\u201d Furthermore, \u201cunpredictability and uncontrollability, in particular, create a malicious combination with which our brain finds it extremely difficult to deal. This in return further elevates stress levels and produces undesirable emotions that we would rather avoid.\u201d1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Should this happen, you might feel a range of emotions. Even more, your perceptions about the world, people and relationships could shift, maybe improve or become disruptive. If you struggle during change, your heartbeat might hasten. Or your appetite might shift significantly. Other changes you could experience include temporary memory fog (where you find it difficult to remember people\u2019s names, etc.), a harder time focusing, lack of engagement or connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although these experiences may be related to challenges in adjusting to undesirable change<\/a>, they could also occur if you undergo change after you receive something that you\u2019ve long wanted. Today\u2019s world offers countless opportunities to improve your adaptability skills, positioning yourself to smoothly leap change hurdles and enjoy real success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signs You Resist Change<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Resisting change can feel magical, like a trick. You convince yourself that you can stop change. And if you can\u2019t stop change, you tell yourself that you can limit the impact that change has on you. The problem is you\u2019re living in a world of constant change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep resistance to change up and you might exhaust yourself. Even more, you\u2019ll stop yourself from experiencing sustained real success. More pronounced signs that you resist change include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
