You’re not alone, everybody hates change
In this episode, I share a personal story of how I faced one of my fears and overcame it, and it helped me understand that change, however big or small, can be a great thing! Not one single person I ever speak to likes change.
People in general, like routines, they enjoy what they have, they relish in their accomplishments and fear change. However, facing your fear and embracing change will take you places you never thought possible.

are you one of those people that hate
change I know I am my name is Kay I'm a
tech minimalist
I'm here to help you organize your
digital life to make it easier now as I
said everybody hates change I know I
hate change to a certain degree you know
changing from the old Mac Johnny Mac
junkie everyone said do it do it and I
just didn't want to do it
I changed is amazing and I couldn't be
happier so we all do hates change
however the moment you make that change
literally the moment you make that
change you realize any kind of question
why didn't I do this before and I know
that's that that kind of sounds euphoric
in a way and it kind of is let me let me
go back actually I've got a story about
a road trip with a friend of my best
friend at the time Simon to Croatia we
drove up and down the coast and we got
to this place and it was a bridge you
know there's a lot of things going on on
the bridge a few people on at the edge
of the bridge and we couldn't figure out
what was going on after a moment we
realized it was actually a bungee jump
over this bridge we realized how high we
were it was unbelievable so we looked at
each other and said have either a bungee
jump like no have you know should we go
and do it oh my god I was [ __ ] scared I
was scared shitless anyway we stopped we
put on all our equipment we paid the guy
the money they were really really nice
actually it was my turn to go after
putting all this stuff on the house I
was waddling up to the edge of this
platform in the middle of this bridge
which was in the middle of nowhere over
water with ships sail ships going
underneath and I'm like I'm gonna hit
that sail ship regardless on my
how high is it so I think we counted
three times three or four times before I
jumped because I was scared I I couldn't
believe how scared I was
I know I mean I'm not scared of heights
but I just couldn't believe I'm putting
my life into this little bungee little I
mean it was quite thick anyway the
split-second literally less than a hair
of a second I actually let go all my
fears all my anxiety on everything just
disappear it completely disappeared
I can't explain it I just cannot explain
it so for me letting go of your fear
that split-second letting go of your
fear is an unbelievable moment and I
haven't yet done another bungee jump and
I don't know why I think I'm going to go
into another one at some point but
literally that split-second so we are
all scared of the unknown we are all
scared of change but the moment you make
that change you realize and you
understand that it's actually really
good for you to let go let go of all
these all these thoughts that you have
all these kind of yeah anxieties that
you have so I'm not saying we all live
in fear we of course we don't live in
fear but fear is there and you know
having that moment where you go okay you
know what let's just do this let's just
just let's just do it the moment you do
it it's it's an amazing feeling so how
does that equate to what I do and what
this channel and this podcast is all
about well the point is I get so many
people want to move over and want to
transform their technology their
computers and so on but a lot of the
times it takes them time and I
understand it takes some time to decide
is this the right I mean they kind of
know it's the right thing but shall we
do it now because I'm used to the old
way of doing things and I completely get
it as I said that bungee jump
changing make junkie from what it used
to be to what it I mean these things are
huge things it's my livelihood I need to
pay the rent you know so I understand
where that's coming from
but the moment you make the switch and
the that I mean the clients are coaching
clients and clients have had training
clients and my clients were the ones
that I've had and I've transformed them
they transformed the way they work not
them they actually say to me I'm so glad
I did it because things are just so much
easier so the point is get rid of that
fear understand where you want to be
point be and where you're coming from
point a and just make the jump anyway
that's the episode today hope you're
having a great day tomorrow is Friday so
