Key Takeaways

• The number one reason most people don’t change is the fear of the unknown. A dismal status quo often feels more comfortable than taking steps to improve the situation. That’s because we can’t always be sure what lies on the other side of the change we’re considering. If you find yourself procrastinating, hiding your plans to change from people close to you, or making excuses for why a particular problem isn’t so bad, check in with yourself. Fear is usually lurking underneath.

• Reinforce your commitment to change and ensure that your changes feel meaningful to you. It’s important to consider how the changes you’re considering will help your thoughts, words, and deeds come into better alignment with your top values, discovered in chapter 3. If they’re not, how will the changes you’re considering express your values more effectively?

• Research the true cost of not changing. If you don’t stop smoking, what are the health risks? If you continue to let fears and worries keep you from a career change, what is the potential loss of income and joy? If you’re not sure, do some research.

• Consider your stakeholders: friends and family who love you and coworkers and bosses who depend on you. How might they benefit from the changes you’re considering?

• How will you reconnect with the deep purpose motivating your changes when you encounter challenges? A vision board or collage, or another creative project, can be helpful.
