Costly to Body and Self
Change is something we resist. It makes sense. Change is often costly to the body and self. Resisting or avoiding rapid change seems instinctual or protective. As I’ve gotten older, I can see this more clearly. I often do things a certain way because it has worked in the past. When confronted with a different… Continue reading Costly to Body and Self
