The moment you decide to change your life, your brain starts scanning for danger.

Price Pritchett, who has spent decades guiding companies through mergers and layoffs, told Lewis that the fear of change works the same way inside you as it does inside a company. The future blurs and your trust in yourself drops, so the villain voice gets loud.

Price points to Daniel Kahneman's research: we weigh imagined losses twice as heavily as gains. So your mind will always argue for staying put unless the payoff feels real.

He compares it to redoing a kitchen. Day one feels exciting, then comes the messy middle with holes in the walls and wires hanging, and that's when most people quit.

Next time a big change has you griping, you will know it's a normal stage. Paint your promised land in neon lights and keep walking.
