Resistance

Resistance is necessary to life. If you are on your way someplace, there will be traffic. There will be things that take your attention off your path. There will be noise in your head that will try to take over the wheel. You will forget where you are going. You will want to fly off onto someone else's journey. You will see something better and feel the pain of not having it, or take the plunge in a whole new direction.

This is a part of life. A part of having a great life is learning to recognize and deal with resistance. I have had moments, periods, months and what looks like years of resistance. I have thoguht never, so I don't even try, could not should not will not. And then I have acted as if.

What are some ways to bust through resistance and break through to a whole new you?

Recipe for having a Breakthrough:
1. Take baby steps.
2. Courage: feel the fear and do it anyways.
3. Get support--people, places and things that remind you of what you want.
4. Make yourself accountable and follow through.
5. Dumb it down--get back to the basics!

Do you have a familiar story that is keeping you crouched down in a ditch, waiting for someone to save you or to recognize you need help? Needing help is healthy, wanting to do it all on your own is crazy-making. Somewhere in the middle there is a thin thread attempting to weave itself through you to make sure you are giving and receiving to that which cultivates wholeness and a healthy heart for you and those you touch. Holding back is resisting what you are meant to receive and taking it all in at once or taking over and not sitting in the pain is not moving through what could be the most liberating and necessary piece of your evolution.

Somewhere in the middle there is a breakthrough occurs, when we are ready, willing and able to make use of the gifts we were meant to recieve and climb out of a hole of broken-hearted, shame-based, malfiunctionality, ie: should-ville.

Welcome home, where your heart remembers who you are and what you want, and your mind is allowed to move out of the way to allow your potential to shine forth into the world!
