Nathaniel Branden
The first step toward change is awareness. The second step is acceptance.
Nathaniel Branden
Nathaniel Branden reminds us that we first have to be aware that something about our life needs to change. If we go into denial regularly we will resist bringing the problematic situation into the forefront of our minds even though deep within us we know it is a problem. While we keep some distance from the problem we can pretend it doesn't exist and therefore give ourselves relief from worry.
It is only when we practice self-reflection and reflect on our experiences in general that we become open to change. Writing down things can be useful as it can help us access our desires, longings and deepest fears much more readily.
When we take a good look at a situation and reflect on what it is we want or don't want, it is at this point we can allow the extent of any problem to enter our conscious mind fully. We must accept the reality of our situation first but we don't have to like that reality.
Awareness and acceptance are the tools that open us up to change. They create a pathway to begin working on a solution. Remember the mind is a big problem solving machine and it will get to work on solutions if we direct it to. Like putting a pot on the backburner so our minds will simmer away on the problem while we get on with the demands of daily life.
Much as we may wish to make a new beginning, some part of us resists doing so as though we were making the first step toward disaster.
William Throsby BridgesAwareness is the first step in healing.

New Beginnings Quotes - Start Now, Don't Wait
New Beginnings Quotes - First Step Quotes
Why as human beings do we resist ending something and making a new start? The simple answer is we fear change. Our minds go to the worst case scenario in a flash.And so we avoid our reality: that something needs to change. That way we avoid pain and stay in our comfort zone.
Resistance to change is a survival mechanism. It's the old story of "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush." Or to quote another adage "don't fix it if it aint broke." When the illusion of staying in control is paramount we will not risk change readily.
We don't tend to take steps to change something in our lives that isn't working unless it is forced upon us by circumstances eg death, relationship breakup, job loss. Or our situation has become so intolerable that it is more painful to stay the same than it is to make changes.
To combat our natural inclination to resist we have to understand our deepest fear. Change might mean failure in our eyes or in another's eyes. We may fear being vulnerable in some way or exposing ourselves to ridicule. We simply might not trust that we can navigate change successfully.
Working out what we are fearful of will give us insight into smashing the resistance to change. Actually taking a look at what we perceive to be our worst nightmare will help.
Ask yourself, what is the worst that can happen? And what is the worst thing about that? Write it down and then take a good long look at it on the page. Sometimes just by making it more concrete we come to the realization that it isn't as scary as we thought after all.
Now do the reverse. Ask yourself, what is the best thing that can happen? And how and why is that significant? Write it down. Now you can allow your mind to explore what are all the good things that might come out of making a change.
