The #1 Reason You’re Stuck—And the 2 Steps to Finally Break Free
In This Episode: Have you ever felt stuck—like no matter how much you want to change, something keeps holding you back? That’s resistance at work. In this episode of The Self-Love Shift, we’re diving into the battle between resistance and acceptanceand how learning to shift can unlock confidence, growth, and self-love.
Resistance is sneaky. It’s the inner voice that says:❌ You’re not good enough.❌ You’ll never get there.❌ Why even try?
But here’s the truth: Resistance is not your voice. It’s a reflex, a habit, a pattern we can break. And in today’s episode, I’ll show you how.
Key Takeaways:
💡 What resistance is and why it keeps you stuck
💡 Why resistance always follows the dream (Steven Pressfield’s powerful insight)
💡 Where resistance shows up in daily life—career, relationships, personal growth
💡 How shifting to acceptance creates calm, clarity, and momentum
💡 The #1 tool to break the cycle of negative thoughts and self-sabotage
Reflection Questions:
Ask yourself:✨ What are you most afraid of?✨ What would you do if fear wasn’t a factor?✨ What would you do if money wasn’t a factor?✨ Who told you that you weren’t enough? (Because you weren’t born believing that!)
Practical Shifts to Try Today:
✅ Daily Check-In – Instead of just asking Did I get everything done today?, ask Did I overcome resistance today?
✅ 5-Minute Stillness Practice – Set a timer, put your phone on DND, and sit in silence. Listen to the thoughts that come up and ask: Is this true?
Why This Matters:
When we break through resistance, we rewrite the stories that keep us small. Acceptance doesn’t mean giving up—it means stepping into the truth of what’s possible for you. Every time you shift toward self-trust, you take back your power.
