✨ “The moment I stopped trying to ‘fix’ myself and started listening, everything changed.” ✨
Yesterday, I had a session with a brilliant somatic grounding practitioner.. and something really simple (yet profound) landed in my body.
He noticed something I already knew about myself : When I try to change - for better or worse - a lot of resistance shows up in me.
And honestly? I’ve spent years working hard to overcome that resistance. Pushing through it. Analyzing it. Trying to “do the work” correctly.
Instead of giving me another tool, technique, or practice… he said one thing:
“What if you didn’t try to change it at all? What if you just watched the resistance?”
So I did.
I noticed where it lived in my body. I stayed curious instead of critical. I didn’t try to move it.
And slowly - without effort - I could feel it soften. Not because I forced it to go away…But because it finally felt seen. 💚
This is something I see again and again in my IAT-based work too: Resistance isn’t the problem. It’s a protector. A signal from the nervous system saying, “I’m trying to keep you safe.”
The moment we stop fighting it… it doesn’t need to fight back.
So here’s your gentle reflection for today:
✨ What are you trying to fix that might just need your attention instead?
✨ Where could listening create more movement than force?
If this resonates, drop a 💚 or share what came up for you.
