3 minWanting Change While Holding On to the Familiar
Your current situation does not suit you, yet the prospect of change is not appealing either. Does that mean you do not really want things to improve? This article distinguishes wanting something different from being willing to accept every uncertainty at once. Using a possible job change as an example, it separates practical obstacles, unknown circumstances, and assumptions that have not been checked. It explores beginning with one piece of information or a small trial rather than a major decision. Caution is not labelled self-sabotage or automatically attributed to the past. The discussion also leaves room for what you would like to preserve. Change can have its own pace and conditions without becoming a test of courage.
