When we are looking to create a shift, a change in behaviour, a change in a group or culture, they are hard.
Slow, difficult, unfamiliar and with no apparent payoff any time soon, a change in habits can be a clunky thing.
Often, this clunkiness is enough to stop many people ever changing.
We fall into a routine, it becomes habitual, we literally don’t even need our conscious mind to run the program.
When we deviate, we face an upfront hurdle – the re-programming, or creation of new networks.
If we expect clunkiness though and come in with patience and an eye on the long game, then we can relax into the initial difficulty and wait for the longer timeframe when the work starts to pay off.
