Stop resisting, and start persisting. Life always feels harder when I am resisting change or growth. Whenever I am close to a breakthrough or reaching my goal, I self-sabotage. I quit or I make excuses.

I revert to what is comfortable. Even when I know the change that is about to come will be good for me, I resist until it no longer exists. Whenever I would feel uncomfortable or uncertain, I stopped myself from moving forward.

It’s hard for me to not want to control everything or to not want to know what’s going to happen next. I am learning to not overthink what is ahead and to trust that everything will somehow workout. Despite knowing that worrying won’t change the outcome, I still worry a lot anyway.

The fear of the unknown has kept me resistant to change. I am learning to not run away at the slightest feeling of uncertainty or the smallest change. I am learning to push forward even when I am afraid or feeling anxious. I am learning to investigate why I feel the way I do, instead of taking it as a sign that what I’m doing is not right.

Sometimes good things can make us feel uncomfortable, especially when we’re so used to things going wrong. I am learning to take notice of when I am self-sabotaging and to challenge myself to persevere. I am learning to tell the difference between good stress and bad stress. I am learning to focus on what I can control and to let go what I can’t control. I am learning to move forward even in the face of fear.

I am learning to stop resisting what is good and right for me. I am learning that life takes work and effort, and that I am worth all that effort and work. I am capable of overcoming my fears and pushing forward.

The more I let go and stop resisting, the more energy I have to keep going and to keep persisting.
