You Have Been Diagnosed with Metathesiophobia (fear of change)
Why is it that people have a fear change? They’re so afraid that it gets in the way of sustaining healthy relationships and opportunities. So afraid that there is this unwillingness to seek change and want change for our selves. But how can people expect to progress in life without change. It is truly inevitable.
Could it be that people are afraid of change because it shifts their whole life style? Conflicting with the daily routine that they have grown so comfortable with. Accepting versatility and the ability to be open-minded are excellent traits to build as life goes on. No one should pass up an opportunity due to stubbornness and the inability to change. People like this often regret a lot and don’t experience much growth in life.
“Fear of Change is the Enemy of Success”- Bhagwan Maurya
What are ways to overcome this fear of change? One way is to accept that change will happen no matter what. Some of it may be out of your control and some may be a choice. It seems that the hardest change to accept is change that is out of your control or even forced.
Rather than just rejecting it automatically, keep an open mind. Perhaps a different job can bring about many more opportunities. Or changing your major from marketing to public relations may bring out your strengths. Maybe you should try that new haircut besides they say that a women who cuts her hair is about to change her life.
