Strategic Question:

What changes might you be resisting because they challenge the way you see yourself?

Key Insights:

When was the last time you knew a change was necessary, but you resisted it?

We often resist change not because it’s impractical, but because it threatens how we see ourselves. 

Here’s what I’ve learned about navigating change:

• Your identity shapes your resistance. For example, if you see yourself as “independent,” you might resist asking for help. 

• Growth requires identity evolution; every breakthrough comes with an identity shift.

• The best version of you isn’t static, it’s constantly evolving.

Your Call to Action:

This week, identify one area of your life where you’re feeling resistance, and answer the following questions to help you embrace change:

• Am I feeling resistance because the change itself is wrong, or because it challenges my identity?

• What’s the identity that I’m trying to hold on to?

• What’s the opportunity-cost of you staying the same?
