Let Go of Resistance

August 12, 2016 by Marian Buck-Murray Leave a Comment

I’ve come up against a lot of resistance lately.  Especially with my work. This happens sometimes. Problem is, if I stay in resistance, I will get very little done beyond my already-scheduled appointments.  Been there, done that, too many times.

Luckily, it’s because I’m so familiar with resistance, that I’ve taken the time to look at it more deeply.  And, I’ve been able to create techniques and systems to help myself get out of it.

In my quest to overcome resistance to my work, I’ve learned a great deal from the activities which I don’t resist as much.  Such as my morning meditations.  Or my regular Daily Burn workouts.   Or any other activity that I do on a consistent basis to improve my life.

It’s not that these activities are always enjoyable. In fact, I have, and sometimes still do, resist them.  But most of the time I show up without giving myself an out.  Sometimes I truly enjoy myself.  Sometimes I don’t. But I do it anyway.

And I began to see.  It’s the showing up, no matter what, that brings the results I’m looking for.  Before long, the showing up becomes a habit.  A habit I don’t think about.  An activity I don’t worry about, or resist, because I know it’s worth it even if I don’t love every second of it.

To me, resistance feels like energy. Dark and heavy.  It looks like an ever expanding wall, building up between me and whatever  I’m avoiding.  And so often, if not always, once I let go of the resistance, and take action, I feel amazingly empowered.

Resistance is a feeling which distorts our perception of the activity we’re resisting.

Resistance is usually laced with fear, dread, and anxiety.  It doesn’t feel good.  When we feel this way, it’s hard to see clearly. What’s important is helping ourselves let go of the resistance in order to move into productive action.

Here are a few things you can do to reduce resistance:

  1. Throw yourself into an activity without over-thinking it. Just show up and allow yourself to navigate through, knowing that you are making progress.
  2. Use EFT Tapping to clear resistance. EFT will help you release negative feelings associated with the activity you’re resisting.
  3. Take small action steps in the direction of the activity you’re resisting. Sometimes we resist taking action because our action steps are too large. Make your action steps manageable.
  4. Get comfortable being uncomfortable. Making progress can be tedious, uncomfortable, and irritating.  Keep going.  It’s the progress you’re looking for.  The dream you’re going for.  That’s what it’s all about.
  5. Change your scenery. If possible, do your work in different setting.  Or change up your environment.  The point is to get out of the energy of resistance.

What my clients say:

Thank you so much, Marian!  I have held such appreciation in my heart for you and for the powerful work you have done with me.  I want to come see you for some more matrix reimprinting and EFT.  The more I expand the more I see. And I see more opportunities to release old ways and adopt new patterns that will serve my fullest expression of my soul's journey.

I started working with Marian over four years ago when I was experiencing recurrent miscarriages. It was an extremely vulnerable and traumatic time and I was lucky to find Marian through a friend’s recommendation. I had never done anything besides talk therapy previously and I was unfamiliar with EFT but I knew I needed something different. Marian educated me about EFT and its benefits. She tailored each session to my unique needs depending on what was going on for me emotionally and also used visualizations and breathwork. These are skills that I  also used on my own outside of our sessions. Marian is extremely skilled, grounding, empathetic and insightful. Even when I didn’t know what I needed, she listened and intuitively knew what to do. Her guidance helped me heal and move forward in my quest to be a mother. Our work together has truly been transformative for me and I continue to value our work now that I’m a new mother and am faced with new challenges.

We have been honored to have Marian’s presence at our Company to learn more about stress reducing techniques like tapping and heart breath meditations.  Marian empowered many employees to utilize such an accessible technique to help manage emotions in the corporate setting.

Thank you so much for the session yesterday. It’s so freeing to feel grounded and energetically unblocked at the same time. You’ve been such an incredible guide and support this past year. I’m astounded by how much I’ve learned and how far I’ve come.

Thank you for agreeing to speak at NAO Wellness! I loved hearing your story, it’s so captivating and inspiring.  The feedback from the workshop was amazing – participants said it was transformative, that the energy in the room completely shifted, and more. I was truly blown away, I’m still feeling all the good vibes. You are such a gift.

~ Nikki Ostrower, Founder and Principal Nutritionist at NAO Wellness.

THANK YOU.  I'm sure you must hear testimonials all the time, but just your presence, voice and spirit make a huge difference in the way I think and do things - and I change! It's really a miracle, and you are the catalyst. Your guidance is invaluable.

~D.G.

Our session was incredible. I’m still in absolute awe at how quickly you led me to the core issues that were tangling me up. So often I would feel the impact of the inner critical voice on my emotions (I’d FEEL depressed, overwhelmed, stuck, anxious)…but I never knew what the core limiting beliefs exactly were. That you exposed them so effortlessly amazes me. I’m blown away by how good I feel – truly it is like I’m breathing deeper, feeling lighter, clearer– an everyday-kind-of joy just feels so much more accessible right now. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your work- I can’t wait to continue further with you!
