Habits are a normal part of every person’s lives, but it is often counterproductive when dealing with change. As humans we are not very good at changing. We see changes as a negative thing, something that creates instability and insecurity. A normal change management process often evolves trough number of mental phases: Stage -1 Shock Where we see disruption in our paradigmn Denial Where we fight the change and protect status quo. Frustration and anger When we realize that we cannot avoid the change and we become insecure because of lack of awareness. Stage - 2 Negotiation and bargaining Where we try to save what we can. Depression When we realize that none of the old ways can be incorporated into the new. Stage -3 Acceptance When we accept the change, and start to mentally prepare ourselves. Experimentation Where we try to find new ways, and gradually remove the old barriers. Stage - 4 Discovery and Delight When we realize that the change will improve our future possibilities. I
