Changing your life isn't easy. It's hard. I mean, incredibly hard.
For anyone that has attempted to make some important changes in their life because they couldn't handle living in a similar way any more, you've possibly experienced the growing pains that come along with deciding to live in an other way. You are consistently tested, you fail time and time again, and it's very tricky to see the world in the light of optimism.
It doesn't necessarily demand to be that way.
You see, people battle with deep change because they don't know the proper way to act when the negative feelings start bubbling up. They think that because negativeness is occuring that they have got to be doing something wrong. No! Not at all. In reality if you're fighting and it hurts a little, you are actually doing things right. Fundamentally, you are growing. You're moving past your comfort zone.
When you're going through big changes, you're going to come across some gruelling problems. Discomfort is going to come out to play, your inner critic is going to run wild and free, and you are going to have some struggles. In truth, that is absolutely ok! It really means you are heading in the correct direction. Don't give up now when you are really suffering discomfort. Keep going and see it all the way through and you will cross the finish line a transformed woman or man.
The "Frying Pan Of Life" is all about the way to get close enough to the pain 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've got to work with them because if you fail to, you run the risk of allowing the past to sabotage your dreams.
So how do you actually do this?
You've got to get close enough to the discomfort and experience it without getting utterly consumed by it. You've got to be pleased to bring yourself to the agonizing places and let the thoughts and feelings and emotions swirl around you without taking you totally 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 truly spend a while working in these dark areas with some compassion and love, you can defrost even the coldest of hearts.
