What Does Your Resistance Look Like?
Turns out that compassion and acceptance is like kryptonite for resistance, contrary to the feet-to-the-fire,
tough it out approach that many espouse. Chela Davidson
At times in our lives there is a need to change, to shift, to re-focus. If we are lucky we get to that point on our own, with little pain and without a major meltdown
Sometimes we may not be that lucky and experience both the pain and the meltdown
However you arrive at the cross roads of having to make a shift or a change in what we have been doing and become comfortable requires that we do something new.
As soon as the brain recognises something new is about to go down, guess what? resistance appears
Resistance may look like procrastination, it may look like justification an excuses, it may look like ignoring. Resistance may take so many forms. Rest assured, once you are finding ways and avoiding the inevitable, this is resistance.
If resistance is strong and determination is weak, you are not ready. Give it some time. Give yourself the ample amount of love and compassion and positive self talk because trust me, self berating feels so much worse!
Love yourself through it.
Peace
