Ep 49: Resistance and Acceptance
from MIND. BODY. PURPOSE. Hosted by Michelle Stevenett, April Judd
There are two kinds of resistance: the kind that is helpful, and the kind that is not. The kind that is helpful, we will call "work." The unhelpful kind involves arguing with reality; it's attempting to prevent something that already happened, or refusing to accept something that is out of our control. It sounds logical when we put in these terms that this kind of resistance isn't helpful, and yet we do it ALL THE TIME (clearly, unaware of our mis-use of energy!) Listen to hear examples of how and why we resist things, why it's futile, and what to do instead. The well-known serenity prayer sums it well: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference." >Questions, comments, impersonations, requests?
