For me, writing is a side-effect. Powerful words, super-creative websites and cool book cover designs are inspired through me as a result of Releasing My Own Resistance on whatever topic currently has me in its grasp. You see, when I have a problem that's caused sleepless nights, an accident, illness or lethargy, not wanting to work, failing to eat properly or go for my regular walks along the water that I generally love with a passion; I always know what I need to do.Start meditating again!Why is it that we often know what we need to do, but we just don't do it, we can't find the time to do it or it feels like something is preventing us from doing it consistently or even doing at all?It's called resistance! And the more you try and push yourself, the more you go into silent self-criticism, berating yourself for putting things off, being lazy or even worse, telling yourself you're a failure ---and the stronger it gets, the deeper you dig yourself into the muck.If this has happened to you, you are NOT alone!For me personally, I know that doing a circular breathing meditation first thing in the morning is one of the biggest *Power Moves* I can ever make.Meditating not only Releases the Resistance that's been keeping me stuck, but after doing it for a while, it rockets me into the next phase of my life, with greater awareness, more compassion, a deeper understanding of what other people go through and strong, strong, strong desire to live fully, laugh whole-heartedly and love completely yet again. The next thing I know, that problem I thought I had, has virtually disappeared. I've inadvertently moved around it, recovered from it, overcome it, passed by it, got over it or ignored it long enough, that it fixed itself!But for 6 months of last year, I was so out of whack, that trying to meditate, was driving me crazy! The thoughts I didn't want to think were getting louder, the emotional and physical pain was unbearable, I became reclusive, only going out at night to get food (because I didn't want anyone to see me in the light of day), I was totally unable to contribute anything of value to others and the problems seemed to be compounding one on top of the other, to the point that I was questioning whether my life was even worth living. To get relief from the craziness, I had to stop and take time out from everyone else and from ALL personal development and self-improvement work entirely.I lay on the couch day and night for months, barely moving, recovering from a physical injury that made it painful to get up, my two cats kept me sane, providing entertainment and giving me a reason to live - for the moment. I started watching TV (something I had rarely done for about 12 years now). With a complimentary subscription to Foxtel, I caught every episode of whatever Home Improvement Shows were available, sometimes watching up to 20 hours straight. I was too embarrassed to tell anyone about the state I was in, until much later. Throughout my life I've been extremely successful in various fields --- I never thought in my wildest dreams, I'd end up like THIS! Inside I knew, that staying still was the best option for me, so I GAVE MYSELF PERMISSION (EMPOWERING PROCESS #1) to take as long as I needed doing absolutely "nothing useful" until "something" shifted. I reminded myself that it's natural for all of life to evolve, that nothing stays the same forever --- and this too would change! One way or another ...
