Getting What You Want in Life:
It Sounds So Easy...So Why Doesn't It Usually Work Out That Way and What Can YOU Do
(Part 1)
By Kevin Hogan
It's the promise of...well just about everyone out there: You can Have "It" whatever "it" is....
Can you really?
Can you get what you want?
You know if you really want what you think you want, something will change for it to happen.
Why Are You So Resistant to Change?
There’s a bunch of reasons but in this three part series, you find out the biggies, then you find out what to do about it.
Have you ever avoided doing something, even though it would make you feel good and help you accomplish a goal?
For example, let’s suppose you know you should start eating healthy meals. Indeed, you like the way you feel when you eat healthy foods. So why is it that you eat healthy for a few weeks …but then before you know it you’re sitting on the couch with a bowl of greasy chips again?
In other words, why are we so resistant to change? Why is it so easy to slip back into our old habits?
There are plenty of reasons -- let’s look at some of the most important…
Familiarity is Safe
No matter how appealing change sounds – whether it’s losing weight, making more money, or a goal to do the things you’ve always wanted to do (like travel the world) – staying in your rut means you stay safe.
Let’s face it – the unknown is scary. And it causes enough fear at both the conscious and unconscious level to shut down the logic of growing, evolving and change.
Instead you quickly develop the instinct/intuition to do nothing which you are not familiar with that may have caused insecurity in the past.
This happens for a simple reason.
You are born with trillions of neural connections in the brain. In just a couple of years MOST of those connections have atrophied through being told what not to do.
Don't misunderstand, your parents probably did right by you most of the time.
Unfortunately when change is not encouraged and relished early on, those behaviors are literally extinguished. They vanish right out of the brain. Figuratively and literally.
What's left in the brain is FAMILIAR.
_______ leads to missing out. Don't do it!
