Episode #173 - Self Resistance and Sixes


Listen Later

What if the thing causing the most suffering isn't the anxiety, fear, frustration, or self-doubt?

What if it's your resistance to them?

In this episode, I unpack one of the biggest obstacles Sixes face:

The constant internal battle with ourselves.

We resist our feelings.
We resist our reactions.
We resist our humanity.

And then we wonder why we feel stuck.

Using stories from a recent family vacation, I explore how real change happens when we stop trying to force ourselves into being different and start becoming curious about what is actually happening.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Why resistance creates more suffering than the original feeling
  • The difference between awareness and judgment
  • Why your emotions don't need to be fixed, analyzed, or justified
  • How self-judgment keeps Sixes stuck in old patterns
  • Why curiosity creates change and shame does not
  • The difference between your first reaction and your second response
  • Where your real power and agency actually live
  • This episode is an invitation to stop fighting yourself.

    Because the moment you stop resisting yourself...

    you finally have the space to change.

    A question to take with you:

    What part of my experience am I fighting right now?
