If you're struggling to make lasting changes in your life, you're not alone. After talking to over 100 experts on psychology, mental health, and personal growth, I've learned why change is so hard.

When we try to change it's natural to focus on ourselves. But we're social creatures, and we rely on our social connections for support, validation, and a sense of belonging. When we attempt to change our behavior or mindset it can disrupt the status quo - also known as the homeostasis - of our social groups, creating tension, conflict, and resistance.

Navigating these social aspects, in addition to all the other challenges associated with changing a longstanding pattern, is one of the reasons lasting change is so difficult.
