Change and resistance to it

Change is one of the few constants in life. Yet, many of us approach it with fear, anxiety, or hesitation. But have you ever stopped to ask why? Is it the change itself that's uncomfortable—or is it our struggle to hold on to what we know, what feels safe? The real discomfort often arises not from the new experience, but from our reluctance to let go of the familiar. We get attached to the way things should be, clinging to the past or our comfort zones, even when they no longer serve us.

Think of it this way: When we resist change, we close doors to new possibilities. Resistance builds walls, but acceptance opens windows. What if, instead of focusing on what you might lose, you could focus on what you might gain? Every change, no matter how small, carries an opportunity—whether it's personal growth, a new connection, or a fresh perspective.

Yes, change can be scary. Yes, there will be unknowns. But imagine the freedom of releasing that resistance and stepping into the flow of transformation. Once we stop fighting change, we find that the pain dissolves, and in its place comes growth, strength, and resilience. So today, ask yourself: What am I resisting in my life? How can I soften into the changes happening around me? Please share your reflections, and let's inspire each other to welcome change with open arms.

Also, as a way to better connect with you all, I make video responses to your mental health questions.

The last video I made was about what to do if you get frustrated by people easily. If this sounds relevant to you, you can check out the video here:

Otherwise, if you have any questions about mental health, please post in my group or comment below and I will make a video response specifically for you.

I'm new here!

Hi, my name is Izaz. I'm here because It helps to know I am not alone with those issues. Sometimes expressing how we feel helps. Hopefully I might pick up some strategies to deal with all that! #MightyTogether #BipolarDisorder #ADHD #Depression #Anxiety #BorderlinePersonalityDisorder #EatingDisorder #OCD

Hey everyone, as some of you know, I make video responses to many of the mental health questions you ask me. The last video I made was about what to do if you get frustrated with people easily. If this sounds relevant to you, you can check out the video here:
