Resistance to change is the act of opposing or struggling with modifications or transformations that alter the status quo.

Resistance is a sign that our ego is being challenged and it occurs as we perceive the imminent change as a threat. Key words here are ‘perceive’ and ‘threat’. The threat need not be real or large for resistance to occur.

When we have to ‘face’ something new the first thing we meet is our own resistance. As we realize that there is something within us that needs to change, we experience resistance. To allow the change to flow through you, Let Go. Let go of things that you are comfortable with. Let go of abilities you have gained competence in. Because, you now have to move on to new challenges. Once we pass through this process, we find that something has ‘softened’ and ‘melted’ inside us. This was resistance.

Embrace Change.
