La Résistance
Sitting down to her computer she spent time reviewing the weather forecast and there it was, that dreaded four letter word….SNOW! It’s way too early in the year for such an occurrence; she thought. Autumn had barely arrived and now the threat of snow. Feeling anxious, her body stiffened. She was consumed in the mind chatter as it became louder and was on a never ending loop. Suddenly she stopped and asked herself, “what is going on?”. What was this feeling all about, could it be….NO she has done her work and dealt with this issue already, so why was it showing up again? Much to her surprise she uttered one simple word, resistance.
Her intuition told her it wasn’t just about the weather. It’s obvious, she’s lived in the Northeast most of her adult life, winter arrives every year and snow is part of the experience. If she was feeling resistance about the weather; something she has absolutely no control over, then what else in her life was she also resisting? Instantly it became crystal clear. Too often she went to conclusion based on past experiences which immediately blocked anything better from showing up in her life. This was huge awareness. What if she didn’t have this resistance, what would her life be like? Was her life partner just around the corner waiting for her frequency to match his so she could see him? The tidal wave of money she desired, was it there for the taking or the job she yearned, was it just over the horizon? What if it was as simple as making a different choice?
A little overwhelmed she decided to tackle the resistance she was feeling about snow, breaking it down to manageable steps. She made choices everyday, deciding what to wear, what to eat, when to sleep… so she pondered, what would make winter and snow fun? Daydreaming about a snowy day she began to make a list.
She loves to spend time in the kitchen cooking and baking so that went on the list while she salivated over the imagined smell and taste of chocolate chip cookies or pumpkin pie…mmmmm, good! The warmth of the oven would make her feel cozy and peaceful. She also enjoys entertaining, so hosting dinner parties was added. The anticipation of who will be on the guest list was invigorating and maybe she’d even design some theme parties, allowing her creative side to shine brightly. The thought of watching old movies, drinking tea or brandy wrapped in a warm comforter was another activity that made her smile and made the list. Then the thought of taking a winter vacation to a warm tropical island. . . what island, would it be? Hawaii, Greece or the Caribbean and who would accompany her? Looking at the list she noticed a very different feeling in her body. Energized and tingling with the anticipation of the fun things she could plan, the decision to tackle the season enthusiastically became an easy choice to make.
Isn’t it time to give resistance the old heave-ho? Break out of your past habits. Give your life a facelift by putting the emphasis on what excites you and generates great joy, thereby raising your energy to the highest level possible. Become a witness to the synchronicities of life as they unfold. This is living life in the Passion Zone and you deserve it!
