Whenever we try something new, resistance to change appears. This can have a devastating effect on ourgoals when we succumb to its influence.
When we gain an understanding that it is simply a fear-based reaction that we can handle, we can move forward.
Ironically, the key here is to welcome the resistance with open arms, rather than have it impede our progress. This may seem odd, but hang with me here.

When we welcome this resistance, we recognize it for its gift to us. What may that be? The ideas or beliefs that are running our lives have been exposed.
When we become conscious of these beliefs and begin to question them, we realize that they are not true at all. Even so, these ideas have been responsible for the decisions we make.
I go into more detail on this on my website, but suffice it to say, by embracing our resistance, we begin to regain our power to move forward more effortlessly toward our goals.
Check out this article that I recently wrote, How To Manage Resistance To Change, for some viable ideas to put into practice. This will result in regaining our wasted energy and using it in much more productive ways.
To your Success,
