Releasing Resistance
Most people ask for what they want and then spend most of their mental energy focused on why it isn’t showing up

Think about water from a trickle, to a stream, river and ocean.  It doesn’t waste any time with an obstacle.  It quietly works its way around any interference or obstacle and hurries on.  The little stream may wind its way round and round many crooks and turns, but every turn takes it nearer its goal.

If we go through life fighting, opposing, resisting, arguing, we are bound to meet with many obstacles and likely become so occupied fighting them that we lose sight of our real objective.

Worry, fear, doubt, complaining, arguments, angry thoughts all become boulders in your stream and lengthen the time it takes for your goal to be reached.

Another lesson from the stream is that when it is small and struggling it has the most difficult time.  It grows stronger in force and volume and becomes a larger stream and then a river.  Its path is more direct and the obstacles become less and less.

How then can you make the shift and release resistance?  By being non-resistant and in agreement with all that is showing up for you.

1)  Identify your resistance – What are your resistant thoughts and habits?

2)  What would be a different perspective that you could use that would have you focus on “Everything is always working out for me”

3)  Expect that what you want is going to show up and act as if.  Ie if you order something online you expect it to come in the post.  You don’t come up with all the reasons that its not going to turn up.

Create some time to reflect on this throughout your day or week.

One of the hardest things to do… is REST. This was something I was never really good at. I couldn’t even take five minutes out for myself without justifying how “busy” I was. It used to feel really uncomfortable to put myself first. Thankfully I have learnt how do to...

Is there ever a “right time”?

People often tell themselves  that they are  too busy, too early, too late, or I’ll start "when the time is right." But what if time isn't the problem? Nature doesn't hesitate. A tree knows when to let go of its leaves and when to grow new ones. It doesn't overthink...
