A Quick Note on Resistance…
Abraham Hicks has a group on Facebook that I encourage anyone with a profile to join. You will receive little quotes and positive snippets in your inbox every day. One such note that came to me a few days ago was a note on resistance.
“We want to make 3 powerful statements to you, and if these are the only 3 things you ever hear, they will be enough.
Number One: The ONLY problem, the ONLY thing that causes you any trouble, the ONLY thing that slows you down, the ONLY thing that keeps you from what you want, the ONLY thing that makes you sick is RESISTANCE.
Number Two: Resistance is always accompanied by negative emotion. Negative emotion and/or pain. In other words pain is an extension of the same thing. Physical discomfort.
Number Three: Resistance is always pushing against something.”
- Abraham-Hicks G 12/6/95
Think about your resistance. Because resistance is directly tied to negative emotions, think about the little things in your day that get your negative motor running. The cell-phone talkin’ SUV driver? Getting cut off in traffic? Coworkers drank the last of the coffee, and didn’t start a new pot? These are just a couple pretty common ‘irks’ that most of us run into from time to time. These are little waves of resistance. If these things are still happening to you, then you’re still requesting them on some level. The next time they happen, react differently. Smile and let it go. So many of these events are minuscule and insignificant, that there’s no reason to get all hot and bothered about them.
Your mission for today, and this weekend, is to be consciously aware of your reactions to any resistance, should it occur. If you get into a situation in which it could be very easy to get upset and feel the rush of anger or frustration flow through you, replace it with the notion that you’re on a path of greatness, and you’re not going to let something so meaningless interrupt your progress. As your weekend comes to a close, see if your positivity made for less resistance. Monday morning should be filled with a beautiful morning commute, fresh coffee when you get there, and smiling faces all day. A life without resistance is a life of abundant creation.
Have a wonderful weekend.
