Summary

I was reflecting on life the other day while looking through some of my old photographs and some of the things I used to do when I was younger. I must say at this point that I am making myself feel very old now!! But I think for many of us we can see how much our world is changing. Some things we don't even realise weren't always the way it is now. But for parts of our mind, we struggle with changing this quickly. This is because a big part of our unconscious mind is primeval, and this part of our mind won't change easily because it fears change. You might be thinking, why would I mind being this way? Well, the reason for this is that this part of us feels if we are still alive then why change anything? This part of your mind bases everything on life and death, it is the most stubborn part of your mind. This can often be the way we can struggle to make changes and accept that things have changed too. We know that as we get older, changing can seem more difficult as well. This is because we have had more time to hold onto those old habits and they can then seem harder to break.
