11/3/23 Morning Facts: 6 Facts About Changing Others & Neuroplasticity

Women are often conditioned to believe that to gain approval, they must constantly adapt and conform to others' expectations.

The anxiety and stress they experience are often linked to attempts to change external circumstances and others' behavior, frequently with limited success.

In situations where change doesn't occur, women may tend to blame themselves, thinking they haven't done things right or that something is wrong with them.

This is not true.

Decades of research on gender bias, misogyny, and sexism have often concluded that everything outside a woman's personhood should change. However, this approach isn't helpful.

While systemic change is crucial, women cannot forcibly change others or unchangeable external circumstances.

This is particularly challenging when those who benefit from the patriarchal system support it, and even some women unknowingly perpetuate it.

Wishing for a quick fix is not a practical solution.

Wishing and waiting for the system to change is unlikely to yield quick results.

The truth is that women can't change others or unchangeable circumstances, such as a hostile work environment, for example.

However, women can empower themselves and each other with tools, techniques, awareness, and knowledge to navigate these challenges effectively.
