"I want things to be different. I'm tired of the same. But for some reason, it feels like nothing is moving forward the way Iwant it to." Perhaps you've said it out loud, to a friend who noddedalong without quite understanding. Maybe the words were uttered only to yourself, lying awake in the middle of the night, staring at the ceiling. You thought you'd decided. You've written the list, said the words, meant every oneof them. And still, some part of you needs reassurance waiting for the "different" you decided on to actually show up. Or maybe change didn't ask your permission at all. Maybe itarrived at your door uninvited, and you're restless about what's coming desperately trying to control how much this change is allowed to ask of you, everything inside you wishing life could simply go back to how it was. Either way, if you have ever experienced any aspect of change this is for you. Today, we open into Change. Some of you meet it standing up, leaning in, genuinely litup by the thought of something new. Others meet it with every bit of resistance showing up in the body, telling you to hold that door under lock and key at all costs. Most of us do both, to various degrees, depending on the day, dependingon what's actually being asked to shift. Let’s face it, change can be uncomfortable. It raises the level of uncertainty and most importantly it can trigger the realisation that you may have to give something up in order to realise the full benefits of the change you envisage. Most of what we're handed about change treats it like arenovation project. There's a before, there's an after, and somewhere in the middle is a mess you're expected to push through with enough discipline, enough willpower, enough grit to make it to the other side. You've probably heard thestages denial, resistance, and eventually, if you push hard enough for long enough, something like acceptance. There's real value in naming that a journey like that exists. But that model was never designed to show you what's actuallyalive underneath it the part of change that has nothing to do with willpower at all. Here's what I want to offer you instead. Change doesn'tstart with a decision. Before any of that, change is an energetic event something within you already moving, whether you're consciously aware of it or not. Something is calling. It's asking for your attention. It's already in motion asking you to move beyond what's currently available to you, toward something that holds more meaning than what you have access to right now. What I've come to see, sitting across from people at exactlythis threshold for years now, is that the loudest declarations of change and the quietest, truest thresholds of it are almost never the same moment. Someone tells me, with total conviction, "I'm done, I've decided, this is it" and I sense that conviction hasn't quite filtered down to all the layers yet.The decision is real. The sincerity is real. And mind and body, simply, aren't yet speaking the same language. That gap is information worth noticing, before it needs to be resolved. Let me give you an example, and see which one you recognise in yourself. Picture two people receiving the exact same piece of news an opportunity has come along that will change their circumstances. Something new.Neither of them knows exactly how it will unfold. Both are being asked to trust a process they can't fully see the end of. For one of them, something lifts a lightness risingthrough the chest, an excitement that makes every part of them want to say yes before they've even finished thinking it through, the body already a step ahead, leaning into action. For the other, something tightens. Their mind runs through every possible outcome, every way it could go wrong, faster than they can keep up with. Somewhere underneath, they find themselves conflicted unsure whether this opportunity will be good for them, or whether it will upset everything known and challenge every ........
