Listen Later

Is there a particular area in your life where you feel like you can't break out of certain patterns?

Today we talk about breaking through that resistance that keeps us from truly living our purpose and living the life that we truly want.

Topics Discussed in this Episode:

  • What resistance could possibly mean for you
  • Why and how you should break through resistance
  • Examples of how resistance can show up in your life

Key Takeaways:

  • Resistance is a part of life, and yet if we don't really identify that it's happening and "shine a light of awareness" on it, then we don't have the ability to really act and change it.
  • At that point when you begin to see resistance, you have a choice. You can either withdraw/avoid/recede or pursue/break through/continue. Depending on what you choose and the consistency with which you choose these things, that dictates your future.
  • Resistance is a bully that we have to confront and break through. And every day you've got to show up and fight it.
  • Procrastination is a form of resistance, too
  • Resistance is the very thing that could prevent us from implementing all of the things that could really give us that life breakthrough that we all desperately want in our lives.

 

 

 

Action Steps:

  • Figure out where resistance is showing up in your life and what are the things that draw up this feeling of resistance for you.
  • Take some time to examine why you have resistance.
  • Ask yourself, "Have you begun to lose touch with some of the things that were once really inspiring to you because you have let resistance come in and take over again and again?"
  • Check in with your readiness level for the Life Breakthrough series. Do an introspection and take a look at where resistance shows up for you.

 

Thank you for listening!

 

Quotes:

"In those decision moments when you feel resistance, that's going to be what helps to paint or map out really what lies ahead for you."

"Where there is resistance, that is telling you something. It is telling you that it is even more important for you to break through. It's even more important for you to do the thing. The stronger the feelings of resistance, the more important it is for you to do the thing."
