Most of us fight like crazy to remain exactly where we are; it’s the way our subconscious tries to protect us. I watch it happen daily with clients, other people and even with myself. We want to stand still while life slowly adapts around us… yet we remain resistant to any change we can’t control. We force ourselves down one road while completely ignoring the other routes. Why? Because we weren’t taught to be open and believe in abundance. We completely missed that part of life’s journey because who knew it was even “part” of the journey?
People who seek out change (i.e. working with me) are in some sort of pain, usually stemming from dissatisfaction with their circumstances. They want relief, but don’t know how to get it. While doing this work, some experience small, mental shifts and believe they’re moving into new territory, but they are still fighting to remain in their comfort zone. True emotional change requires a lot of discomfort, and most people don’t want to go there. Why would you choose the painful route when you can take an easier one? Because the easy path leads you in a circle right back to where you are. We want to believe that if enough pixie dust is sprinkled, the road to joy and fulfillment will be pain free. Oh how I wish that were true. Nope, you have to get really uncomfortable and deal with eruptions of negative emotions to make change happen… otherwise you’re just redecorating your comfort zone.
