Embracing Change: Navigating the Discomfort of New Patterns


Hosts: Kim & Jill


Key Topics & Insights

1. The Nature of Change and Discomfort


Change in patterns—whether chosen or thrust upon us—often brings discomfort.
Familiarity is comforting, even when it’s not beneficial.


2. Intentional vs Unintentional Change


Intentional change (like new eating habits) can be exciting at first but often leads to challenges as unfamiliarity sets in.
Life sometimes sweeps us into new patterns without our consent, creating unexpected discomfort.


3. Judgment and Comparison


Much of the pain from change comes from comparing the present to what used to be.
Visual metaphor: Trying to keep one foot in both worlds creates a painful split; committing fully brings peace.


4. Consent and Commitment


Even if we don’t consciously choose every change, being present allows us to respond thoughtfully.
The power lies in commitment—choosing a side rather than lingering between old and new.


5. Practical Takeaways


Notice when you’re judging or wishing for things to be different—it means you’re split between two realities.
Commit wholeheartedly, honor your choice, trust yourself—even through discomfort.



Challenge for Listeners

This Weekend:
Ask yourself:


Are you clinging to the familiar?
Have you committed fully to the new pattern?
Or are you trying (and struggling) with both?


Pick one path and go all-in!
Honor your decision—and watch how calmness follows commitment.


Memorable Quotes


“We love the familiar—even if it’s not good for us.”
