THIS! SUCKS!

This is also, unfortunately, not uncommon. When we get to a place where there is nothing outside of us stopping us, we can become paralyzed.

This is a part of the process. It's a way of working through some of the inner stuff.

And, it sucks!

So I've been SO GRATEFUL that recently, I have started DOING THE THINGS.

And it’s amazing! It feels like such a breakthrough.

And looking back to the months and months of trying and failing I can see so clearly now…

I just wasn’t ready. It just wasn’t time yet. It is as simple as that.

One of the principles of Creative Dream Alchemy is that you are ALWAYS ready for your next step…. But another one is that you are rarely right about what your next step actually is.

So, I was seeing this step that was several steps away from where I was, and I kept trying to do it, and I just COULD NOT and it felt like I was spinning my wheels.

My resistance was running the show in a lot of ways.

And that’s how it is sometimes.

Yes, resistance can be unconscious fears and it “being in resistance” can mean that we are letting our fears run the show.

There is also wisdom in resistance, in the places in us that say “not yet” “slow down” “this isn’t the right way to go about this”

And it’s extremely difficult to know the difference between “playing small and letting your fears win” and “being wise and listening to ALL of your inner selves”.

All we can do is keep showing up to practice.

Keep really listening to ourselves and honouring what we find when we do. 

This means honouring your fears and doubts like you honour your inspiration, ideas and courage. (Membership members: use the Library of Inner Work practices!)

Keep going deeper.

You’ll find the thing you need next. But, another principle of Creative Dream Alchemy is: It takes the time it takes.
