Do you ever wonder why you are not getting the results that you want in your life? Could it be because you are resisting rather than rising to the opportunity? At times there can be a fine line between resisting and rising, yet it makes a huge difference in our results. They can be polar opposites. When we resist doing something we are directly pushing it away, when we choose to rise and take it on, we are embracing what is and going to the next level.
When we come from a space of rising it creates a positive flow. When we can accept things easily it creates peace and allows it to feel as if it is our choice. What we focus on is what we get….. IT’S TRUE! When we resist, it creates the conflict and resistance. It creates negativity and stops us. It is like putting up a wall. By resisting, it prevents us from being able to create change and it can keep us stuck.
There is an acronym that is well known for FEAR. It is Forget Everything And Run or Face Everything And Rise. My question for you is what do you do when you feel fear? Fear can show up disguised as many things. It is amazing how it can show up and sometimes we do not even recognize it. It can show up as feeling inadequate, self-conscious, inferior, scared, even confusion or lack of education or experience. It shows up differently for every single person. The trick is identifying when you are allowing fear to stop you from moving forward and choosing to rise. When you are choosing to remain small or even run from things, that is being in resistance to moving forward.
It is important to acknowledge this and find a way to get out of your comfort zone enough to allow yourself to Rise to that fear and do it anyway!
When we make our decision to move forward in our new direction or perhaps set that goal, it feels really good. We can envision it. It seems possible. In fact, sometimes making the “decision” can be our toughest part! But what is it that takes the wind out of our sails and begins to allow in the resistance is fear. Why does the self-doubt and even in some cases sabotage of our success of completing what we have set out to do become an issue?
What we have found to be one of the biggest factors in losing sight on the goal or in allowing the negative emotions to creep in and overtake our intention, is losing your WHY. When we lose sight of why we are doing it in the first place, it becomes a question of why do it at all, as well as why have it be a priority and put our time and energy on it. That is when we must turn it around and choose to Rise. When we intentionally move forward, not allowing any sabotage or resistance to stop us and getting out of fear, then we are able to see the bigger picture and Face Everything And Rise! Once we have taken that step we begin to see more clearly, not only our own WHY, but how it is affecting everything else around us!
In our episode this week we share two very important stories to show you exactly how this works and how it can affect you! Join with us on our episode!
