Let Go Of Resistance To Get Unstuck

Do you feel stuck in repeating patterns and unable to move forward?

Mother Nature is the maestro of surrendering as she orchestrates the changing of the seasons. Observe the leaves on the trees magically transforming in the fall with notes of oranges, yellow, and red. Transitioning into brown decaying leaves clinging to the branches before letting go and tumbling to the ground in the intro to winter.

On the journey of life, we're pushed to explore where clinging to old beliefs is causing us to be out of sync. By following resistance, we lose alignment with who we really are.

The antidote is right in front of us. Step outside of old behaviors and follow the rhythms of nature. Observe where our inner nature is resisting letting go so we can blossom and grow.

We're reminded to look inside ourselves at the old beliefs and behaviors we're clinging to and how there is a wall of resistance.

Nature shows us the importance of letting go and the need to recharge in order to thrive. Observe where you're preventing your inner nature from letting go so you can blossom and grow.

Stuck In Stories Of The Past

Resistance is our mind attaching to the ways things have been in the past. They may no longer be true in the present.

Resistance keeps us in repeating patterns, the old story of struggle and pain.

What lies beneath resistance is fear of the unknown. It's more comfortable to stay with what is familiar, the pain, instead of venturing into the unfamiliar. By allowing ourselves to remain stuck regardless of the discomfort and pain, how can we expect to break free?

Persistence Is Not Always A Virtue

What we resist persists. Carl Jung

Our egos are clinging for survival by preventing us from letting go of the old story. We lean further into the pain. When we're in resistance, we're opposing the natural flow. We're trying to swim upstream or run back into the floods of heartbreak from the past. By surrendering to the flow of life, we're able to ride the highest waves.

Let go of what's holding us back and step into a life beyond what we imagined. A life free from the emotional, mental, or physical pain of the past.

The opposite of resistance is surrender.

Surrendering Is Courageous Honesty

Surrendering is not an act of weakness as pictured in movies or in what we've been taught. Societal norms emphasize the importance of fighting at all costs. What if it's costing our own freedom. Where we're living inauthentically based on what we've been told by caretakers and those who have had the most significant influence on our development. In these scenarios, we tend to be fighting against our own internal desires and needs.

Beliefs are formed based on what you've been told and learned. We're unworthy, will never succeed, and need to settle on whatever scraps come our way.

Behaviors and unhealthy coping mechanisms develop as a way to feel safe, attract attention, or to punish ourself for believing we're as bad as we've been told.

Take a moment to explore what you really feel. Ask yourself if this is true. Is this projection and how they really feel about themselves and not about you? People often are not seeing out of their own eyes. It may be that you are holding up a mirror to others and they are looking at their own reflection.

Yesterday is gone and its tale told. Today new seeds are growing. Rumi

Letting Go Is Surrendering

When you stop resisting what's happening and fighting against the current, you move into the flow of life. The twists and turns on the journey. How do you know what lies ahead or is even in front of you if you fixate on the past?

The amount of time it takes may feel frustrating and even disillusioning but don't give up. Evolution will take as long as is necessary for you to grow. It's a personal choice when you're ready to let go of resistance and venture forth into the unknown.

The trees that are slow to grow, bear the best fruit. Voltaire

Pain To Pleasure Spectrum

The pain to pleasure spectrum involves three stages:

Resistance 👉 Acceptance 👉 Surrender

We need to move from one stage to the next to transform. We're able to find a path forward when we accept what's happening and surrender.

In the first stage of resistance, begin the process by abandoning the need to control, which is letting go of resistance. In the second stage of acceptance, acknowledge that the situation is out of your control. In the third and final stage, you're on your way to surrendering.

A good example of this would be the aging process. No amount of beauty treatments, lotions and potions, surgery, or medication can stop aging. By living a healthy lifestyle, the timing of certain aspects may be extended but not reversed. It's important to accept any physical changes. Surrender and redefine your natural beauty at any age.

There are far better things than the ones we leave behind. C.S. Lewis
