What you resist persists because where your attention goes,
Your life flows.
Today is about mastering resistance.
I know,
I know,
Easier said than done.
And you're right.
It feels hard sometimes.
No one said this process was going to be easy unless you decide to make these choices with an all in attitude so there is less or no room for doubt to creep in.
Resistance tends to sneak in through the little cracks of doubt or wavering.
I will say it over and over again.
Wavering and doubt and living in indecision will cause you suffering.
Period.
I lived there for a long time and it wasn't until I learned to just make a decision.
Sometimes it didn't even matter what it was,
But just to get out of resistance and limbo.
I would receive immediate liberation.
Becoming a conscious decision maker is about feeling the resistance come up and knowing how to get yourself through it.
One tool is to stop,
Breathe and ask yourself,
What are my options in this moment?
These are the times you need to remind yourself why you are doing this challenge.
Remember,
You promised yourself to feel better,
To regain your self-trust and confidence.
The only way to it is through it and staying the course means pushing through when things get hard.
This is life.
I wish I could promise you a life with no resistance,
But everything travels together.
So resistance and flow are two sides of the same thing.
And when it shows up,
You have a choice.
You can give in to the illusion that is presented or you can believe in your mission.
Stay in your commitment and your priority.
Listen,
You can do this.
It is in these moments that define you.
How you show up in the face of challenge,
How you move yourself through these moments where your mind wants to take you back to an old way is what will start to reframe your brain and also building that muscle of self-trust.
Only you can do this part.
What I can say is I have been there.
I have succeeded and failed many times,
But I kept getting up and trying again because resistance becomes one of the special emotions that shows you that you are growing,
That you are out of your comfort zone,
That you are at the edge of busting through to a higher version of yourself.
And the other thing is it isn't always about perfection,
But rather to become more and more aware of the conversations that you are having with yourself.
How do you pep yourself up to stay on track in life?
Okay,
So reach out when resistance pops up.
You are not alone in this and I want to be there when you move through it so that you can feel empowered and show yourself what you are capable of.
So say to yourself right now,
I can do this.
Today is going to be an amazing day.
I am confident.
I am powerful.
Breathe in and breathe out.
Now go have a kick-ass day.
