Resistance happens when the mind is willing, but the body feels unsafe. This creates a conflict of interest. Let our goal for today to be simple: To draw our attention to our body the moment we notice resistance. When we become aware of resistance, pause. Notice it and open your awareness to it. Afterwards, we can ask some questions for clarity and insight. You can write these down, or copy and paste them into your notes on your phone. Try your best to listen to the response, and then write your response below the question. "What are my needs?" "What am I afraid of?" "What is the likelyhood the worst case senario will come true?" "Can I imagine things going well?" "What would that look like?" "Have I been capable of doing difficult things in the past?" "What steps did I take to navigate it successfully?" "How could I prepare for success beforehand?" "How could I respond if things don't happen the way I expected?" "What could I do to make this feel easier for my nervous system to accept?" "What would happen if I did nothing?" "Does this need to be resolved right this minute?" "What is one thing I can focus on to feel more effective?" There are ways to break down our feelings into understanding. Asking introspective questions and answering them honestly creates an enviroment that allows us to listen to our feelings. When we compassionately notice and listen to our fears, our harsh thoughts, our heavy emotions or limiting beliefs that create struggle, we begin trace the pain to its source. That which restricts can now be analyzed with more questions for deeper clarity. "Are these my beliefs, or is this what I had to become in order to survive a difficult enviroment?" "How do these beliefs make me feel?" "How would I feel without these beliefs?" "Can I prove these beliefs are true?" "Do these beliefs hinder me, or empower me? "If I asked a trusted friend or an expert, what would they say about my conflict?" "Are the words I speak to myself encouraging, or degrading?"

Looking for some fun ideas for our next challenge. I am looking at 7/15 as the start date. Can’t wait to see what you come up with.

Good morning everyone and happy Tuesday to you all. This Friday 5/29 we will be starting a 24hr fasting challenge. Fasting is a great way to improve blood sugar control, allow for cellular detoxification, reduced inflammation and enhanced brain function. I don't know about you guys, but this is going to be a hard one for me. I am a big snacker and sometimes eat quite a bit at night. I am starting at 6am MT and would love to know who else is in for the challenge.

I’ve had a trying weekend and it’s working on me… this is one of those things that I can’t control other people and their actions. And that’s always been a struggle for me… but this time what has happened is bad! It has triggered me and put me in a dark place.. angry isn’t even the tip of what I’m feeling!

Who is ready to challenge themselves? Friday May 29th we are having a community wide challenge. Fast for 24 hours. I am not happy about this one because I love to snack and eat. Let me know your thoughts and if you will do it with me. 6am 5/29 - 6am 5/30.
