What you resist persists: Let go of resistance

Resistance is simply your mind’s fearful response to your heart and soul’s inspiration.

You have probably heard this, but not sure what it means.  I have been reading Nick Williams book ‘Resisting your Soul: 101 Powerful Tips to free your inspiration’. A powerful quote from the book: “Resistance is simply your mind’s fearful response to your heart and soul’s inspiration.”

To overcome resistance in your life, whether it be in your health, business, job, or relationship, you have to expand your level of awareness. The things that you resist could very well be your purpose – the idea that will most fulfill you as you start doing it.  

You know that feeling deep inside yourself, the one that is a deep-seated desire that you keep pushing away but wants to express as part of you. This is what has become trapped in your self-created prison of fear and that underlying sense that you are not quite good enough. So, soften your resistance, let go of your perceived limitations and beliefs that are making it hard for you and stopping all the good you desire to come your way. Ask yourself: who could I be without my problems?  

Your problems can serve a great purpose, but they also can become an excellent excuse for you not to show up. 

“Excuses are nothing more than lies that fear has sold you”. (Carmen Bell, South African Entrepreneur)

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...
