Why Change Is So Hard

- You hear something a lot about change: People won't change because they're too lazy. Well, I'm here to stick up for the lazy people. In fact, I want to argue that what looks like laziness is actually exhaustion. The proof comes from a psychology study that is absolutely fascinating.
Interesting psychology and study. Dealing with this is especially important in Change Management; we need to ensure the changes that are implemented do not compromise the premise of the project as well as becoming comfortable with changes.
Adrian I agree, it's the first thing that came to my mind as well. Well said.🤔
If you've ever raised a teenager, you have observed, first hand, the exhaustion of self control.
i raise a bunch of those
thanks for uploading !
This is why employees who are motivated through positive means are much more productive and innovative.
Fear, anxiety, anger are all energy depleting emotions. Remove these from your workforce and watch them go.
very well said sir ❤
Here's what I like to take from this (it's obvious, but the interpretation might not be) if the people who did this experiment didn't like the chocolate in chocolate chip cookies, or just didn't like the cookies in general, but loved the radishes, they'd be like the cookie-lovers-- they would have no problem with self-control. Then, the experiment would go a lot differently. So, while a cookie is always the sweetest, others might like the less-desirable radish OVER the cookie. Conditioning yourself with emotions to hate cookies and enjoy radishes (cookies could be procrastination if we put this into perspective, and radishes could be studying) and train ourselves to only enjoy radishes (our brain is just a recollection of experiences, so you like cookies because they remind you of the dopamine surge, or happiness. Just thinking of the cookie makes you happy, right? Try it.) by conjuring up a happy feeling and creating a dopamine released association to radishes, you can have the same amount of self control, when before, you only liked the cookies.
This reply is mad late but I think I get you, nowadays they created this sort of water that using smell to trick you into thinking it’s something else it’s kinda crazy but reminds me of this
Never thought of change in that perspective
Actually the studies are broader; For example, if you try to do a task in an uncomfortable chair, or with a an annoying sound (dripping water), wtv, your "mental energy" will run out faster.
This can be helped by eating sugar (Not LOADS of it, just a bit) and by resting some twenty minutes (power nap)
Meditation is a good training for Increasing your self control, since it is one of the hardest tasks you can do (search what it is exactly); or by trying to remain calm at work (reducing stress) :)
perhaps they (the radish eaters) just realized sooner that the task was not possible? Could I not then hypothesize that the radish eaters had superior problem solving abilities perhaps linked to something found within the radish (rubbish probably, but just as probably as what he is proposing)
Change has to come on individuals and transformation path happens towards your goal
Have you heard of Matthew Kelly? He speaks about this is as well, would love to see him featured on your channel.
So basically, change one thing at a time.
Our academy (The Little Institute for Financial Independence) uses this video to encourage students to come up with better understanding of their ability to control their desires and urges.
Good vid x
What if you have change all the time?? Aint no routine for showering or brushing teeth fr
Maybe some of us need some settling not new things all the time
Learning through this good but without applying into real life it's waste of time....
In looking back...maybe he is suggesting that we make typically difficult things as easy and fun as possible [you know].
I don't like change but this is more out of depression and being unable to move on.
There is beneficial change and there is destructive change. This simple fact is never talked about at "change management" seminars. Im not very good at coping with destructive change. I tend to fight against it but hey---that's just me.
SO what this guy is basically saying is that change comes down to will power and self control. But the thing is what is your motivation* to change? According to your theory which I believe is true, will power takes energy but energy becomes exhausted. However what we have to acknowledge is everyone knows what they want and everyone who works towards their goal becomes exhausted BUT how do you explain difference between those who make it and those who don't?

@RolandRhodes1 CZcams comments never cease to amaze me...
Oh. Than you say that if we hadn't have self control, it could be easier to change? :D
Hm. What a paradox actually.
Thank you, sir, for opening this doors of knowledge to me.
New research debunks this. We can gain self-control through detachment and paradigm shifting.
This case study has the wrong foundation for the conclusion they are trying to present. Chocolate chips cookies vs radishes so apart from competing and the effects on the brain are so different. While chocolate chips cookies has tons of sugar, it immediately give a sense of energy, while radishes are so difficult to eat because of it strong spice taste. I wouldn't be surprise the kids didn't eat them. A better approach would be use apples vs butter cookies.
@RolandRhodes1 Oh man, I was thinking the EXACT same thing.
Maybe the cookie eaters lasted for longer as they had a sudden rush of energy from the sugar in the cookies??
So THIS is why the Purge happened! Huh, and here I thought it just worked.
I wish he gave us a solution. I mean he basically said, "Self control is limited. Bye now!"
We are supposed to read the book. I'm a few chapters in and it actually looks pretty useful.

Thank you Bruh. Repost that. Most people really are negative and closed mind. Want a easy solution. Please tell me how. To remain negative oh please. Thats what they should be saying. Good look Bruh.
Exactly! What is the solution???
Guess the solution is to recognize that rest is productive and make time for it
Not just physical rest, but mental breaks where you think of something other than the problem
When life gets tough eat more cookies. :)

Maybe the radish eater ran out of Blood Sugar. The cookie group was infused with a glucose load that provided quick energy to pursue the goal. All the participants were told not to eat for 3 hours before the meeting. Study is confounded.

Thanks.
Here's my song about Growing Pains in the theme of 'who moved my cheese': czcams.com/video/EWiCz93wnpI/video.html
Surely, individual taste and mood factor into this, right? A genuine-article food-loving foodie oughtta be able to enjoyjoy cookies AND radishes. Radishes have panache in their flavor and texture, plus they fight cancer. Also, we Americans in general don't eat enough roots. We grow plenty of them but don't eat enough of them. Vegetables in general, really. Embrace your inner rabbit spirit animal!

And what if someone hates cookies?

I searched this after amphibia wah
Ok, awesome. Now what?
breathebliss
Your dumb
Don't mean to be rude or to say how awesome I am, but how dumb people are if they spend 18 minutes on puzzle where me personally spent 1 minute before I made a decision.
+Никита Максимов ur so awesome man
U got kik?
Wow. What a bloated explanation for "the new way is better/faster/cheaper", when it isn't.
When you talk to me look at ME ...
Wait, self control is exhaustible? I would disagree. I think it has to do with the risk and rewards. If you told me that my family would be shot if I ever had another cookie, then it's not like at some point I'm going to say "Gah... I'm out of self control, bye kids. Where's the cookies?" The study asks people to trace a line... and they gave up, that's not really a huge failure. There's no good reason to persevere in that situation. Is it not also possible that the radish eaters are just smarter, or perhaps the cookie eaters were physically fuelled by carbs.. Sure, those might be silly, but a blanket statement that self control is exhaustible based on lines, radishes and cookies seems a little ridiculous.
David Johnston
The facts based on the study was not intended to confuse or to be doctrine. But to try and understand we need to preserve energy, In all situations. Thinking takes up engery as well as physical things. We all have different views, In life and it's always a better way of doing it figuring things out. But the key here is mental awareness of your vessel your body, not to down play another man's logic to try to help people understand why some people are lazy. It's not always they don't want to. Even though we know people do what they want.
The guy looks sooo sadd! :( (Pop d' molley, im sweat'n. Woo!)

This video did not made a lot of sense.
hi St. Augustine ily skskskksks
Eat shit
nice job, chief, you got the whole squad laughing
Yap, he said nothing useful.
Only introduce the problem in a more dramatic way so that you visit his website and pay some cash..
(cont.) Basically all I hear from this cry baby is life sucks, I have no reason to live and I can't change myself.
So do psychologists think Obama is exhausted...?
or just lazy? :D
Come on, must be hard starting several wars and bombing the shit out of many countries. Jobs tough man
DonnyBrook
Obama had worked for someone like you do. He did what the body of billionaires "FBI,cia,secret services, Irs, Congress, judges Supreme Court,etc wanted. Who over sees the sworn in process? Ask yourself? If you were the president who really are in charge why couldn't he not do the sworn in. He doesn't believe in the Bible.
So they are under someone.
hahahhaahha made myday
Just another lazy guy making excuses for himself :-D
