In this episode, Carlie and Jonmichael discuss how to deal with change. Change is inevitable and it can be positive or negative. Most people don't handle change well and may even prefer the predictability of an unhappy situation to the uncertainty of change. The hosts discussed how change can be daunting and how it affects the mind and body. They concluded that change can be a challenging experience, but it can also bring positive outcomes. Carlie and Jonmichael talk about the feeling of being out of control when faced with change. It was pointed out that people often have a negative response to change as it can be uncomfortable. An example of this was given in the form of someone who frequents the same restaurant, ordering the same steak every time because it is predictable and always turns out the way they want it. It is also noted that if this person's go-to meal was taken off the menu, they would no longer go to the restaurant. This shows how many people are on autopilot and like to stick to what they know. This conversation focuses on the idea of change in life and how the brain is hardwired to conserve energy by staying in predictable situations. It is suggested that many people feel bored and under stimulated in their relationships and their lives, but lack the skills to make a change. The suggestion is made that people become underwhelmed when reality does not measure up to their expectations. This lack of knowledge and skills can paralyze people in their situation and many do not realize they need help. It is discussed how the brain works against us and how it can be trained to coach the brain. It is suggested that having an order to one’s life, such as following a procedure for work or for children, can bring structure and help people break out of their expectations. The conversation also mentions how sudden changes, such as job changes or divorce, can throw people into “whirlwinds of change” where they are not equipped to deal with the situation. It is suggested that having a strategy can help in these situations and provide the order needed to move forward.
