Why I want to change but I keep coming back

💡 want to change but go back

i thought i'd do my best.

Before I know it, I'm back to my old life.

You have such an experience, right?

Then

"Is your will weak?"

"I have a personality that doesn't last."

I tend to blame them.

but in fact

rather than lack of effort.

Sometimes the brain is trying to protect the state it's used to.

when people face change

Even if it's a good thing

It's easy to feel anxious or uncomfortable somewhere.

So

Even if you start a new challenge

I want to go back to the original way.

That's

not because it's no good

It may be a response that your brain is trying to protect you from.

The important thing is

It's not about trying to change at once with guts

Try to change it a little

Start with small actions.

Choose a form that can continue.

Change is

It's not about size.

We're gonna get up in a stack.

You don't have to rush.

If you make progress even little by little

The change has begun 🌱

📌 want to change, but I go back

Please save it so that you can look back again

📩 you

"I want to continue, but I go back."

Do you have one?

... Read more私も「変わりたい」と強く思いながら、いつの間にか元の習慣に戻ってしまう経験が何度もありました。最初は自分の意志の弱さを責めていましたが、実は脳が慣れた状態を守ろうとする働き、つまりホメオスタシス機能が関係していると知って納得しました。 この機能は、変化を「危険」と脳が判断してしまい、無意識に抵抗してしまうのです。たとえば、ダイエットや新しい習慣づくりで「できるだけ早く変わろう!」と根性で頑張りすぎると、脳が防御反応を起こし、元の生活に引き戻されてしまいます。 私が実践して効果を感じたのは「小さな行動を積み重ねる」という方法でした。たとえば運動なら1日5分のストレッチから始める、生活リズムの改善も30分早く寝るなど無理のない範囲で少しずつ変えていくこと。こうすると脳への負担が減り、自然に新しい習慣が身についていきました。 それに、変わりたい気持ちがあるのに戻ってしまう自分を責める必要はありません。むしろ「脳があなたを守ろうとしているだけ」と理解すると、焦らず自分のペースで前に進めるようになりました。変化は大小ではなく継続の積み重ねが大切だと実感しています。 習慣化のためには、自分に合った続けやすいやり方を探すことも重要です。例えば、楽しいと思える工夫を取り入れたり、無理な目標を設定しないことです。こうした取り組みを続けていくうちに、気が付けば新しい生活が自然に身についていました。 皆さんも変わりたいのに戻ってしまう自分に悩むことがあれば、まずは焦らず小さく始めてみてください。脳の仕組みを味方につけて、自分に優しく変化を積み重ねることが成功の鍵だと思います。
