EP47 - Resistance: Why Avoiding Negative Experiences Often Attracts Them


Listen Later

In this week's episode I highlight the importance of observing and labelling emotions without the urge to fix them immediately. I explore how resisting what we don't want can make it even more persistent in our lives and why accepting all parts of ourselves is key to genuine confidence. I also discuss how letting go can bring peace and distance from unwanted outcomes.

Lastly, I dive into the concept of "shadow words" – those traits we fear being seen as – and how understanding them can reduce inner conflict and lead to true self-acceptance and authenticity.

In this episode you will learn:

  • How to allow your feelings to exist without immediate action
  • The importance of observing and labelling emotions for better mental health
  • How acceptance can help you achieve genuine confidence
  • Why avoiding negative experiences paradoxically attracts them
  • What "shadow words" are and how they can reduce inner conflict
  • Techniques for letting go of control to create peace
