Whatever we resist slows down our "flow". Resistance blocks our highest and best possibilities and potential. We have the ability to change it through understanding and building our positive beliefs systems, beginning with the belief we are innately enough.Here's an example of how resistance affects us.....
You or someone you know has test anxiety; you are "trying so hard" to remember what you studied and it will not come to you during the test. Maybe someone told you or you previously told yourself you were not a good test-taker. The resistance builds with each test you take. After leaving the testing area, the answers pop back into your head. Most of us don't understand the insidious backlash of how resistance affects our day-to-day lives. It holds us back from our potential like a negative force field.
Those of us who resist loving and accepting ourselves exactly as we are in this moment of time create more and more reasons why we are not quite "good enough". If we only did better, we could love and accept ourselves. Our negative beliefs attract more negative beliefs. Those beliefs are the opposite of the truth. Of course, we still need to build skills, practice, study for the test. Everything is a combination of mind-body. We need to work on both.
It is like having a pilot light in our bodies. We have to begin by lighting the flame of knowing we are innately good enough just because we were born, no need to prove it with actions. Then, we can enhance our internal flame by positively feeding the fire, but if we don't start with that positive belief, it is extremely difficult to change it. People who show the world they are outwardly confident may or may not be confident on the inside.
Not one of us is perfect, so striving for perfection could make us feel badly about ourselves if we don't believe we are innately enough. That is why living in the moment is powerful. We make a mistake, make amends and move forward without beating ourselves up. Forgiveness is incredibly powerful, but without knowing we are innately good enough, forgiveness will only take us so far.
How do we change? On the conscious level, intentions can be effective. "I intend to know I am good enough in this moment." "I intend to love myself exactly as I am today." The biggest bang for your buck is changing beliefs on the subconscious level. That is where that little voice inside of us says..."hey wait a minute, you can't completely love yourself, remember what happened that time when you did that thing..."
We can change subconscious beliefs, our negative self-talk, with meditation, hypnosis, energy work, or focusing on our intentions to change right before we fall asleep or as we are waking up in the morning. That is when our brains are malleable and accepting of change. We all have the capability to change for the better. The first steps are awareness and intention.
Have a great day!
