What Change Are You Resisting?

Is the ONE thing you don’t want to change, going to be the ONE thing that will help you break through to your next level?

Think about this.  Think good and hard.

Now, read this through fully, then come back to the beginning and do the steps.  Take your time, don’t rush through this.

Find a safe, quiet place, box of tissues close by, notebook maybe, or even infront of your computer, writing stream of consciousness, writing as the ideas as they flow from your mind.

First, explore your issue, probably to the point of tears.  Chances are it will come from feelings of lack of self worth.  Indulge yourself here, don’t be afraid of the pain.

Remember that it is the knife of pain that carves out the cup of joy.

Now that you feel exhausted and cleansed, make a list of positive change statements.  Include these new positive statements in your mind movie or visionboard.  Find images to match.

My one big thing used to be, believe it or not, being shy.  I had trouble asking for help in the form of favours.  I was reluctant to take the initiative in making contact with people, incase they felt I was intruding.  I felt them rolling their eyes when I make contact with them, muttering “good grief” under their breath.  I didn’t feel like I was in their league, and that I was being parasitic of their time and knowledge

I certainly felt lesser to them.  Which meant that my self esteem wasn’t as robust as I’d imagined it to be.

So I felt a lot of self-imposed pressure to try and figure things out on my own.

While that has been helpful in building my self-reliance, I now HAVE enough of  that, so I can move beyond it.  I don’t want to be stuck there.

So I now tell myself that it is now safe to connect with others, who will delight in my originality and energy and motivation.

Your turn.
