The fear of change

I’ll admit, I’m scared but in a good way.

It’s strange how it feels scary to change. It’s interesting to see how I feel stressed a bit to be more organized and be a better version of myself because it means I won’t be the same even though I will be a better version of myself, I will still be somebody else in a way.

I feel it’s similar to when we meet a new person for the first time: you’re anxious and you don’t know what to say. To a point, you might not even want to be there because it feels uncomfortable.

So I probably need to meet the new me to know this new person and understand what this guy is thinking and what he is capable of so I can understand and appreciate the efforts needed to become this new me.

It feels overwhelming to imagine yourself doing a ton more than what you’re capable of now. The thing is, my current situation is the baseline at which I keep myself, just like a water mark in a pool: how high can you go. If I push further, it’ll change my baseline. What was considered hard to reach is now my new “normal”.

As Tony Robbins said: “Raise your standards!”.

What do you think? How do you feel when you think about change and the new self you could become? Let’s talk!
