Breaking Through Resistance

Written by Selena Richardson


Why is it that every time you start something new, a million and one things get inrepparttar way?

You make a goal to lose weight and all of a sudden every time you go torepparttar 131092 store you seem to noticerepparttar 131093 chocolate you've been craving.

Or you decide to start a writing project but every time you sit down to write - you're stuck, you don't have any inspiration. You can't seem to get moving forward.

Resistance always comes up when you start venturing into unknown territory - starting a new project or a home based business - it comes in many different forms.

For me, resistance shows up inrepparttar 131094 disguise of procrastination. It can take on a different shape for you. Procrastination is my resistance and it's a sign to me that I'm avoiding whatever it is that's new or different in my life. So when I see myself starting to put things off whether its organizing my home or working on a new project I have to take a step back and seerepparttar 131095 whole picture. What's going on that's making me put off this project? Once I figure it outrepparttar 131096 answer usually is fear ofrepparttar 131097 unknown. I then dive right into it head on. And usually it's a lot easier and it goes by faster than I had anticipated.

Sometimes you just have to rockrepparttar 131098 boat to get it moving forward again.

You see, resistance to doing something or to trying to reach your goal is just a test to see if you really truly want what you're striving for. So when you have those moments of resistance, no matter how they show up in your life, take a time out and think about what you're resisting and think about whether you want to stay stuck or if you want to move on torepparttar 131099 next level.

Change Your Perceptions...Change Your Life

Change Your Perception...Change Your Life

There is no reality, only perception. I've heard it said that if you want to change your life then you have to changerepparttar way you perceive life. For example, if ten of us are eyewitnesses to an automobile accident and we are ask to recallrepparttar 131090 details, there would be ten slightly different versions of what happened. What we "see" depends on what filters we have operating in our lives.

Consider a time in history before Christopher Columbus discovered America. The world was thought to be flat. It was believed that travel was a dangerous thing. If one ventured too far one would drop offrepparttar 131091 edge ofrepparttar 131092 world. Columbus discoveredrepparttar 131093 world was not flat but round. A paradigm shift occured. The world did not change, perception did. Change perception and everything else changes too.

When a paradigm shift occurs our thinking is expanded and thoughts are included that we once believed were impossible or didn't exist. Our horizons are expanded.

Assumingrepparttar 131094 above is true I would like to venture forth a premise: "The limitations we experience in life are of our own making." What ifrepparttar 131095 world ofrepparttar 131096 "inner self" holdsrepparttar 131097 potential to nurture, to delight, to create, to be compassionate and loving, to reveal truth, to give you allrepparttar 131098 blessings life has to offer? What ifrepparttar 131099 only thing which holds us back is our own thinking and perceptions? Powerful thought...huh? This paradigm shift won't allow us to be a victim but will demand that we take charge of our lives! Change your perceptions and you can change your life!

Human power lies inrepparttar 131100 capacity to choose. Unfortunately,repparttar 131101 cultures we grow up in, by and large, do not teach us how to make true life affirming choices. Instead we are taught not to "rockrepparttar 131102 boat" and to followrepparttar 131103 status quo. We are trained to followrepparttar 131104 rules. As we grow up and buy into these ways of thinking then more and more of what constitutesrepparttar 131105 true essense of who and what we are gets erased.
