Embracing Resistance: Transforming Challenges into Catalysts for Growth
I don’t want to change!
And so don’t you.
Why do we see change as the enemy?
Sure, I get it:
Everyone is talking about change.
Everyone is firing up some change motivation hacks.
But this is different from how the human psyche works.
I know that from thousands of hours coaching clients.
I know that from thousands of hours of therapy with clients.
There is something within us that says:
„NO!“
And it has lots of power about us.
Have you ever felt this „NO!“?
It’s using what works best:
Emotions.
Feelings.
Thoughts.
And it builds up resistance.
Resistance can come in many different forms:
→ denial
→ fatigue
→ burnout
→ boredom
→ plateauing
→ stagnation
It’s important to acknowledge that.
Because it is not against us but for us.
So, how do we turn our natural resistance into our greatest ally?
Here’s the thing:
Resistance to change is the training for greatness.
Without resistance – no muscles can be built.
We need resistance to grow beyond it.
Play with it.
Daily.
Use it as your driver to change.
Ask yourself:
What do I resist?
Then listen.
See how that works in your life.
