Changing your life isn't easy. It's hard. I mean, surprisingly hard.
For anyone that has seriously attempted to make some important changes in their life because they couldn't handle living in the same way any more, you've possibly experienced the growing pains that come along with deciding to live in another way. You are continually tested, you fail time upon time, and it's hard to see the world in the light of positivism.
It does not necessarily need to be that way.
You see, folk struggle with deep change because they don't know how to act when the counterproductive emotions start bubbling up. They believe that because negativity is occuring that they've got to be doing some things wrong. No! Not remotely. In fact, if you're fighting and it hurts a little, you are doing things right. You're growing. You're moving past your comfortable zone.
When you're going through big changes, you're going to come across some important obstacles. Agony is going to come out to play, your inner critic is going to run wild, and you are going to have some struggles. That is fantasically ok! That actually means you are heading in the correct direction. Don't declare failure now when you're suffering discomfort. Keep going and see it all the way through and you'll cross the finish line a transformed woman or man.
The "Frying Pan Of Life" is all about the way to get near enough to the discomfort to work with it without being consumed by it. When you are making a new life, old things tend to flow out and you have to spend a while working with them. This is a normal part of the growing process. But you have got to work with them because if you do not, you run the danger of allowing the past to sabotage your dreams.
So how do you actually do this?
You have got to get near enough to the agony and experience it without getting utterly consumed by it. You've got to be pleased to bring yourself to the unpleasant places and let the thoughts and feelings and emotions swirl around you without taking you wholly out of the game. When that can be done, you give yourself access to the lessons and light that are held within that dark place.
This takes a little bit of ability and lots of practice, but if you can really spend a while working in these dark areas with some compassion and love, you can defrost even the coldest of hearts.
