Reason #1 Why People Resist Change & How To Help
Reason: They are too full of fear and emotions and fears to think straight.
The Fix: As soon as you hear a new idea, your brain categorizes it as 'good' or 'bad.' Create space for the team to consider a third category - the 'interesting' elements of the change. To do this, pull the team together, grab a whiteboard (virtual or otherwise), sketch out these three columns, and facilitate a discussion exploring each.

Reason #2 Why People Resist Change & How To Help
Reason: They don't know how big a deal the change actually is. Have you ever started a project so overwhelming that you didn’t even know where to start? This is how change can feel, too.
The Fix: Try using the 4-door approach to give the change some edges.
- What are the things we used to be able to do and still can?
- What are the things we couldn’t do before and still can’t?
- What are the things we used to do but can’t now?
- What are the things we couldn’t do before but can now?

Reason #3 Why People Resist Change & How To Help
Reason: They don't see how they fit into any of it. This reason highlights the difference between ownership and authorship of a change.
The Fix: Ownership doesn't work, but authorship does. Try using the renovator's delight approach to help the team become authors of change.
- What do you want to keep going forward
- What do you want to chuck?
- What do you want to change?
- What do you want to add?

Clutter: Catalyst To Creativity
Being in a mess is akin to breaking free of rules, norms and expectations, and the unkemptness lends itself to the flowing of mind’s juices. Keeping things tidy and cleaning up all the time can also hamper productivity by being a form of procrastination.
A mess can be looked upon as a wildness, a certain freedom of the mind.

Solipsism
If we look at our dreams and the brain’s capacity to hallucinate, we can see that nothing outside our existence may be real.
Everything could be an illusion, a long dream, and we could be the only person that existed in a world of ‘Maya’. This is what solipsism is all about.
Idealism
The philosophy of idealism states that reality is something that exists on a mental level, and many or most of our outer experiences could just be imagination.

The Power of Celebration
- Tiny habits are easy to do, and the thing that keeps us going is the celebration of small accomplishments, as feeling good is a vital part of the Tiny habits method.

- A celebration is like a habit cementer, and feeling good at any moment is a superpower, which can be used to reinforce your habits and transform your life.
Be Nice To Yourself
Our emotions create our habits, and celebration is the best way to create a positive feeling that waters your new habits. It pays to be nice to ourselves.
Celebrating the tiniest detail of your busy lives, when you remember to hang your keys where they should be or when you tidy up your room, can shift your perspective, and makes your life better in a couple of minutes.
