You’ve likely heard the phrase - ‘what we resist, persists.’
This idea that when we are not able to ‘accept’ reality for how it is, it’s just going to keep repeating itself until we ‘learn what we need to learn’ from it.
For most of us, when we are in a state of ‘resistance’ we are in that state because something deeply unpleasant is happening - we are struggling, suffering, in pain, dealing with emotions we don’t know how to work through, we are facing challenges we don’t know how to fix - and thus being in a state of ‘resistance’ is really a natural, normal human response.
But when we hear things like ‘what we resist persists’ this can drive us into a state of feeling like if we DON’T accept what is, that means we are going to be stuck in suffering forever.
So we try to ‘accept’ - and rather than being able to actually shift ourselves into a state of acceptance, we find that what happens instead is we get in a loop or resisting our emotions, resisting our resistance, resisting the situation itself - and now we are in a tangled mess.
We can’t accept what is, and that’s leading us to rejecting ourselves and our rejection. It’s leading us to a place of trying to feel something we don’t feel, and trying NOT to feel what we do - and all of this simply means we are left feeling stuck. We find we can’t even really deal with the issue at hand, because we are so caught up in trying to stop resisting that we are distracted from the initial thing that was causing our resistance to begin with.
Today, we are going to look at what we can ACTUALLY to do empower ourselves when we are in a state of resistance.
We are going to look at the importance of making ROOM for our resistance, and we are going to learn together how to accept our resistance, as a way of moving forward and loosening things up.
This doesn’t have to turn into a big, complex mess - if we are willing to walk through what we feel step by step.
Let’s explore this today and see how we go!
