It's definitely a common human experience to find ourselves resisting positive changes, despite knowing they're beneficial. There's a fascinating psychological phenomenon behind it, often involving subconscious patterns of self-sabotage, that makes us avoid growth even when we desire it. I recently read a really insightful piece that sheds light on these dynamics at https://medium.com/@maya.donavan/psychological-games-the-quiet-ways-we-avoid-change-b03ced0773cf. It delves into the various reasons why we might hold back from embracing beneficial shifts in our lives and how our internal psychological games subconsciously block us from moving forward. Understanding these often-unseen blockers can be the first step towards more readily accepting and integrating positive changes, especially when facing new opportunities or habits.
