How do you deal with resistance? (Resistance vs. Flow)

What creates stress is resistance.

Resistance immediately constricts your natural flow.

Perpetuated resistance takes you further out of the flow.

It blocks you.

It causes panic attacks and depression.

It cuts you off from the center of yourself.

Resistance to what is happening, is what ruins your day, your job, your relationship.

Resistance is defined by denial and negativity.

Resistance is anti-life.

So, how do you deal with resistance?

How do you outwit it?

By dancing with it.

Resistance will arise - always.

However, what it fears the most is acceptance.

You only have to accept WHAT IS right now, at this very moment: a task you have to accomplish, a certain thing your partner did or said or the fact your job is, in your opinion, the worst on the planet.

Acceptance doesn’t mean defeat.

Accepting whatever is much like becoming a willow in a snowstorm: it goes with the wind, it bends, it dances, it obeys, it doesn’t resist.

The burden of snow glides off its branches. Meanwhile, a strong and proud oak breaks down unable to bear the pressure.

Once you accept that which you resist, you can work with it.

You switch from anti-life, anti-flow to pro-life, and pro-flow.

It’s a simple shift.

But it works.

It’s a simple Zen principle.

It’s what every samurai knows.

It’s what we will teach at
