**Change is Hard: Navigating it Updating Our Expectations **
Our expectations greatly influence how we handle change, and it is important to explicitly define and periodically revisit them to ensure they align with reality. The brain is wired to make predictions, and when these predictions do not match reality, the greater the gap, the worse we tend to feel. Thus, updating our expectations to match reality is crucial for effectively navigating change. Additionally, it is essential to expect that change will be hard, as having the expectation that it will be easier or immediately gratifying can lead to feelings of disappointment and frustration. Acknowledging the difficulty of change helps in managing our reactions when faced with challenging situations.
