As the proverb mentions, effectively one's tendency is to worry about one of those aspects, because there is an exacerbated need to take care of your physique, but we forget the emotional part, or I worry a lot about the intellectual part and I forget the other parts. , we must remember that we are integral beings and that we cannot separate our parts, the components of our body and spirit, that is, we are a whole, and when we become aware of this, we will find balance and we will be ready for change.
In business, it can be said that change begins and ends with business, not with change, because change is permanent, because change is our ally; it should be planned and not by accident.
Change has to do with people, they will surprise you, it is not possible to change the company, without changing oneself, because the company must be within us, we must become personal entrepreneurs, allowing us to manage our environment and thus seek overcoming, however, you cannot force people towards change, they themselves have to take the initiative, because to grow internally and externally you have to change and the best way to change is to be aware exactly where you are standing, which means being aware of our reality.
We must be aware that there will always be opposition to change, because we are afraid of the new, since we feel better with the old, since it is part of human nature, to resist change, because change cannot be imposed, it must be voluntary and self-convinced, because when a situation that is not real is defined as real, it is real in its consequences, for example, people resist change, especially technological, since they fear the social and human consequences of change .
From the above it follows that there are restrictive forces to the processes of change, such as:
1. Lack of recognition of the need for change
2. Fear of the unknown
3. Fear of unfavorable consequences within organizations
4. I am suspicious of the true motives of the initiators
5. Uncertainty about one's ability to acquire new skills
6. Fear of reduction of individual or group power
7. Difficulty solving the dissonance between previous beliefs and the present reality.
It should also be mentioned that just as there are restrictive forces, there are other factors that contribute to this resistance, among which are:
1. The ambiguities that change entails, since it is an alteration of my reality
2. The stereotypes that are created
3. The decrease in power, since the change could be to remove an imposed power
4. The skills that this process demands of each one of us, since it is not only accepting it, but it must also be developed.
The satisfaction that can give me
6. The norms that the group can create as a product of it
7. The security that can be obtained with your arrival.
Another element that has to do, not only with the arrival or the beginning of change, but with the very need for change is alienation, since this phenomenon is present most of the time in each of us, is a mutilation of the conscience, for this, E. Fromm, American psychologist, tells us that with the presence of this, the human being leaves aside his own qualities and powers, to become a thing, which makes him carry out his work mechanically, without realizing the why or its own causes. In fact, this definitely forces the person to change, because otherwise there will not be a personal criterion in the face of the ravages of life, but will become one more of the bunch, and that is not what you want from the human being, his areas of thinking, feeling and acting must prevail in him,
BENEFIT OF CHANGE
Change should be seen not as a threat but as a benefit, it should be seen as something that leads to a more prosperous life for all, it is a positive thing, because it will make each of us a living being, who fights, wins and strengthens in good, without accommodating the inclemencies that life presents, because even if we want, most of the time, we cannot evade them, but if we face them with integrity, confidence and self-confidence, we can fight those battles and be victorious and the most important thing is to live with a happy and strengthened spirit.
Because of this, there are forces in us that will reduce the restrictions and fears towards change such as:
1. The creation of a favorable climate, based on respect for people
2. Achieve effective and real, non-manipulative participation
3. Assume an experimental and curious attitude, as presented by TRANSACTIONAL ANALYSIS with its PAN theory, which tells us that a FATHER is present in each of us, who is that moralistic part, an ADULT, who is the reasonable part that It will guide the best decision-making and a CHILD, that of tantrums, fits and anger, which sometimes, if we are tolerant, would not be necessary. If we follow this part, we will probably not only change, but we would feel better and calmer.
