Do you find yourself resisting life? Resisting the flow of where life is taking you? This can manifest in many ways from resisting having to do something you're told to do or perhaps you feel obliged that you should do it. A few examples are: inviting family around, doing the cleaning or even going out somewhere when you'd rather be doing something else like staying at home. Or maybe having to speak to someone at work that you don't really like! You get that feeling in your stomach of frustration and anger in having to do what you don't really want to do and this in turn makes you feel on edge and angry towards people... and life! And yet once you've done what you 'had to do' you reflect and think it wasn't as terrible as you initially thought it was going to be. Have you experienced that?

There's also the flip side which I've noticed which is the resistance to not having or doing something. For example, I resist being single and not having someone but I also resist meeting someone as I think I'll lose my independence and freedom. I'm sure you can think of more examples of where you're resisting not having something as well as having it! (I'd like to hear about them)

How about you stop fighting and resisting? We spend most of our energy resisting the feeling that is created rather than letting it flow. Have you not found that when you go with the flow of life and are in harmony that you are at peace? Ask yourself what would it take to let go of that resistance? Would you rather hold onto it or would you rather be synchronous with life? This doesn't mean being pushed and shoved around as you're not bothered about it as you can still stand up for yourself. It means by being able to let go of the resistance to doing what you feel you are being forced to do, you will have greater clarity, strength and energy! We waste so much energy resisting something where as if we were able to allow the feeling in and let it go we'd be free and buzzing with energy!

Perhaps over the next few days you can practice releasing the resistance to things and then see how you feel then. By the way if you feel you can't let go or release the resistance then that's cool. Let go of the resistance to resist!

It comes down to this: 'Resist or be free?' Simple question with awesome results!
