| | 18 Caveats on How Not to ChangeWritten by David Krueger MD
Change is not simple. Why do we repeat behavior that doesn't work? Especially those actions that lead to stifling debt, disappointing careers, or stuck relationships? Then do it harder, yet expect a different result? Why is it not obvious that trying to exit an old story by simply writing a “better ending” only recreates same story, and ensures that we remain in it? That a thousand better endings to an old story don’t create a new story? That past cannot be changed and is a settled matter? That too often, we see ourselves as victims of stories that we author and feelings we create? 18 Caveats on avoiding change: 1. Focus on system. Devote special attention to things that seem frustrating, out of your control, and impossible to address: politics, corporations, and economics. Systems must remain in focus as broad categories in order to feel distanced and disaffected. 2. Maintain a focus on theory. Avoid detail, singular aspects, and application. Remain theoretical about how to transform various systems, about what needs to be done, maintaining frustration of what seems to continue out of your control. 3. Believe that answer will appear when you step out of box, or when you simply oppose system. 4. Keep point of reference external; keep believing that antithesis of conformity is opposition; know that one or other of these external points of reference of conformity or opposition holds real truth. 5. Do not decide. Allow urgency of a situation to decide for you. The gravity of a last-minute emergency forces action and avoids planning. Waiting for deadline excuses responsibility for thoroughness and excellence. 6. Believe that answer is more rules and further structure. 7. Debate obvious, and give energy to controversial. 8. Believe in experts unequivocally, and that expertise is authoritative. Dismiss any notion that expertise is perceived, processed, and filtered through assumptions, belief systems, and prejudices of experts.
