As per Carl Jung: What we resist persists. And very often when we feel negative emotions, there’s a lot of resistance on top of that, making it impossible for us to properly process what we feel and let go of it.
Dear Reader,
Happy Monday! How are you feeling today?
Resistance to what is here and now in front of us is the number one reason we suffer. Don’t believe me? Give me a few minutes to show you how and how you can shift to acceptance, let go and genuinely feel better about your life.
Suffering Arises When We Resist Reality
Does this sound like something you’ve experienced?
- You experience an unpleasant situation that makes you feel negative emotions and you wish you didn’t feel that at all.
- You feel deep sadness, but instead of allowing yourself to process it, you keep replaying “what if” scenarios, resisting the reality.
- You have a headache but instead of rest and acknowledge it, you think it shouldn’t be happening and how you want it gone.
- You’re anxious about an upcoming job interview. Instead of preparing and letting go, you resist the uncertainty—obsessing over worst-case scenarios, making yourself more anxious.
- You have a bad feeling about something and instead of feeling it and accepting it for it is, you resist it and effectively it comes to pass.
- You label your emotions as “positive” and “negative”.’
All of this is resistance that prolongs our suffering.
In all of these cases, suffering isn’t coming from the situation itself, but from our resistance to it. When we drop resistance and accept the moment fully, suffering loses its grip.
How to Accept –
It's THAT Simple
↓
To radically accept what’s going on, doesn’t mean you should put a smile on your face and start liking the situation.
What we have to do is radically accept that this (whatever the situation: breakup, quarrel, rejection, passing, not getting what you want) has happened.
You simple look at the situation and say: this is how it is. Just like you look at the sky and see it’s blue. You don’t resist it. It’s a fact.
Can you move forward from this?
Can you assume that it’s happening for you?
Give yourself to the universe, that which is bigger than all of us.
In order to move on, you have to accept this. If you keep fighting it you’re going to feel worse
And I forbid you to beat yourself up.
Because everything we see and experience can be neutral in meaning. It’s only significant because of the meaning we ascribe to it.
In your core you cannot suffer - you are love and everything is a part of your life path - so it can either be good or very good.
Resisting change is like holding your breath—eventually, you’ll have to let it go.
So the sooner you face it, the sooner you will breathe with the full chest and manifest the life you love.
Acceptance is about surrendering to the truth of who we are and the reality of the present moment.
It’s a willingness to accept the peace and love of God (Source, Universe), without judgment or fear. And you get there by practicing resisting in your awareness (I AM).
I released the Neville Goddard Inspired I AM Meditation and it’s now available on YouTube. This is how I personally meditate to reach this state of pure consciousness, of faceless formless floating being where everything is possible.
