SERIOUSLY SPEAKING - TRANSFORMING RESISTANCE!

 (OOPS!  THIS WAS THE BACKEND OF THURSDAY'S POST - "WHAT DID YOU CALL ME!"  I BET YOU WONDERED WHAT HAPPENED...)

So, what is the difference between stubborn, determined and driven?

One way of looking at it is that 'stubborn' is about resistance, using your energy to pull against something.  

It is the hallmark of our internal Rebel who constantly proclaims:  "No, I won't!"  often regardless of the consequences.

'Determined' connotes desire - "I will accomplish what I want!"

And finally…

'Driven' creates a picture of the inimical internal Bully chasing behind us with a whip yelling:  "You have to, or else!"

TWO EASY AND FUN STEPS TO TRANSFORM RESISTANCE

1)  AWARENESS - Check out who is there.

Is it your stubborn inner Rebel?  "No, I won't!"

Your pushy, driven Bully?  "You have to!"

or

Your centered, determined inner Ally?  "I want to and I can!"

2)  USE YOUR IMAGINATION - Talk to each of these parts of you. 

What would you like to say to your inner Rebel, that master of resistance?  And just as importantly what is that part of you saying to you?

And now for your Bully voice.  This part of us is really insidious.  It pretends to only be pushing us in our very best interest…

Think about that one!  Imagine you are walking down the street and someone sneaks up from behind you and gives you a really hard push… Hmmm…

And finally start creating and strengthening your Ally voice.  This is the 'Yes, you can!' part of you.  

Ever wish someone saw you exactly as you are - and believed in you anyhow?
