Changing your life isn't easy. It's hard. I mean, extraordinarily hard.
For anyone who has seriously attempted to make some important changes in their life because they couldn't handle living in the same mediocre way anymore, you've probably experienced the growing pains that come along with deciding to live in a different way. You are constantly tested, you fail time and again, and it's very difficult to see the world in the light of optimism.
But it doesn't necessarily need to be that way.
You see, people grapple with deep change because they don't know how to act when the counterproductive emotions start bubbling up. They believe that because negativity is occuring that they must be doing some things wrong. No! Not remotely. In fact, if you're wrestling and it hurts a little, you're doing things right. You're growing. You're moving past your zone of comfort.
When you're going through huge changes, you're going to come across some gruelling difficulties. Pain is going to come out to play, your internal critic is going to run free, and you are going to have some struggles. That is fantasically ok! It really means you are heading in the right direction. Don't quit now when you're suffering discomfort. Keep going and see it all the way through and you will cross the finish line a transformed person.
The "Frying Pan Of Life" is all about how to get near enough to the discomfort to work with it without being consumed by it. When you are creating a new life, old things tend to seep out and you have got to spend some time working with them. This is a standard part of the growing process. But you've got to work with them because if you do not, you run the chance of allowing the past to sabotage your dreams.
So how do you actually do this?
You have got to get close enough to the discomfort and experience it without getting totally consumed by it. You've got to be willing to bring yourself to the painful places and let the thoughts and feelings and emotions swirl around you without taking you totally out of the game. When you can do this, you give yourself access to the lessons and light that are held within that dark place.
This takes a bit of ability and a lot of practice, but if you can actually spend a decent amount of time working in these dark areas with some compassion and love, you can defrost even the coldest of hearts.
