I call this “full awareness without judgment.” It does put one on the track to self-knowledge and realization of full potential. Great observations!

Hey Karen,

Really accurate description… and definitely a key part of being free. i’m inclined to say a state to strive for but if there’s striving then there’s effort and that clouds the awareness.

i think it puts one on track definitely and also KEEPS one on track too :P

Great post again Alex!

Another trick I read somewhere (but I forgot who said it) to acknowledge resistance and weaken it, is to do it out loud. When you feel it, say it, name it, separate it from your self. “It says it can’t be done” is an example of what I use. It works wonders for me.

Hope I am clear enough ;)

Thank you Jean.

I really like that trick. I’m aware that awareness of it weakens it, so to speak, but never considered speaking it out loud. Makes it more and less real at the same time. power stuff.

thanks for adding :)

best

yo

nice site bro, I found it through the comment you left on my site.
Have you just started it recently? If so, good luck and all the best. I think blogging is getting harder and harder these days and it’s a real battle for attention – it’s not much but I’ll post a link for you on my site.

Re resistance, it’s probably just semantics but you’ve talked about avoiding resistance but no mention of seeking resistance. Take almost any activity (weight lifting, sport, debating, whatever), you will get the most growth and improvement out of seeking resistance. Weight training you will increase the weight to improve, competing you will improve most by playing with people better then you.

Take your chess post for example, if you play someone far below your level you might always win and feel good but won’t improve. On the flip side, play someone better then you and you may initially feel like you suck or engage in other limiting beliefs but it will force you to grow and improve.

Imo resistance is a good thing, not a bad one.

Hey Jackmo.

Yeah, started pretty recently. Definitely a struggle due to competition but i think it’s a good thing. makes me work harder to be better. not to beat everyone but for the feeling of really making something happen. i don’t care if there are a million other blogs out there to compete with, i’m not interested in even being top 10, i’m a be number 1. because i know that i can do anything. so can you, so can anyone but most people never will because they don’t really want to.

thanks for the link love, appreciate it :)

you make a really good point about resistance. kinda what i mean about competition being good. i meant the self-created resistance, that kind of resistance that you talk about is great, and it makes you grow. but don’t create resistance where there is none. you can create encouragement by looking at other people in weight training and wanting to be big like them but don’t wish you weren’t small – that’s just unnecessary resistance and it’s counterproductive. i guess that’s it – don’t create unnecessary, counterproductive resistance :)

re: the chess example, definitely true about always aspiring up and taking things next level but there’s no need to create resistance if you play somebody better and lose. no need to feel stuck. maybe it’s easy for me to say because, given i’ve come from being so low i really have a sense of triviality about people who are good at things. to me, if somebody does better than me or beats me at chess or whatever, it doesn’t mean to say that i’m not good enough or anything, it just means more time. they spent more time or spent it better. i can do anything, so can they. doesn’t say anything about who you are so no need to create resistance. use losing as drive but don’t make yourself feel bad about it.

i don’t think resistance is a good thing but using the situations where people usually feel resistance can be really helpful.

thanks for the comment, really inspiring and good to hear some honest feedback. so rare these days.

all the best
alex

Great reminder for me. Well written and straight to the point. Sometimes our resistance to what is is really causing the suffering, not the situation itself.
