All of us have managed to change throughout lockdown. But when you first stepped into that position, that wasn't the case. Whether it's learning a new language, whether it is going to a new job, whether any any skill at all, whether it's getting married and and knowing how to run your own house if it's the first time that you've left home, whether it's going and backpacking around the world and learning how to communicate and and get on with people- all of those things you have adapted to and you have changed.
Why does change often feel like an uphill battle? In this episode of 'RAW CHATTER!', Vicky Midwood, also known as The Addiction Eliminator, dives into the fascinating topic of why we perceive change to be so difficult. She breaks down the science behind our Reptilian brain, explaining how its primary focus on survival views anything uncomfortable as a threat. This natural resistance can make even the smallest changes seem daunting.
But Vicky is here to show you that it doesn't have to be this way. By adopting a curious mindset, you can make change not only possible but simpler and more sustainable. Vicky argues that curiosity is your secret weapon for lasting transformation. Instead of just buying a book or signing up for a course and expecting miracles, she emphasizes the importance of doing the actual work.
This means actively engaging with new ideas, putting pen to paper, and speaking your intentions out loud. Yes, it might feel awkward at first, but with time and practice, it becomes second nature. One of the standout points in this episode is Vicky's reminder that we've all navigated change before, especially during challenging times like lockdown.
Whether it's picking up a new hobby, starting a new job, or adapting to a new routine, we've proven to ourselves that we can adapt and thrive. Vicky encourages listeners to draw on these experiences as evidence that change is within reach. She also stresses the importance of having an action plan and using positive self-talk to manage discomfort. Coaches and mentors can guide you, but ultimately, the effort must come from you.
Vicky's approach is grounded in science and enriched by her own experiences with addiction and wellness. If you're looking for practical strategies to embrace change and make it stick, this episode of 'RAW CHATTER!' is a must-listen. Vicky's insights will inspire you to take control and rewrite your story.
