The Bumpy Road of Resistance

by nimble on September 18, 2009

_t6j3690It has been a bumpy week.  Bumpy?

Yeah, bumpy.  Not quite the huge high and subsequent low but a bunch of little ups and downs; sort of like riding in a jeep across a recently harvested corn field.  Knowing full well that putting one foot in front of the other is the only way to get across, I have been gentle to myself this week.

For those of you who know me personally, you’re aware of the choices I’ve made to bring my life into a state of authenticity and not that I think the honeymoon is over, I’m guessing I’m feeling a little set back.  The undertow of progress is there and I do feel great about where I’m heading; trust me on that one!  Clearly though, I have some resistance points because I’ve bumped (there’s that simple word again) into some undesirable, less-than-positive thoughts.  And I need to face them and choose how they affect me.

Today, as I guest co-hosted with Melissa Van Rossum on her blog-talk radio show The Divinely Guided Path to Success I heard my own words: Somewhere, somehow I’ve invited this resistance to teach myself where I need to clarify my intentions and desires and where I need to let go.  Overall, I’m very grateful for this discussion outlet.  It’s weird (and unavoidable) to hear your own advice. Above all, it’s AMAZING to be able to talk freely and truly and see you’re making a difference in other people’s lives.

So how is the road now?  Not as bumpy I would say.  I’m feeling more like a bulldozer (thank you Grandma B. for so lovingly nicknaming me that as a child).  I’m smoothing out the bumps of resistance and moving forward.

Join us next week (Friday at 9:00 am.)…we’ve all got things to learn!

Nimbly,

JCM
