Changing your life isn't easy. It's very tough. I mean, surprisingly hard.
For anyone who really has tried to make some important changes in their life because they couldn't handle living in the same way any longer, you've potentially experienced the growing pains that come along for the ride with deciding to live in another way. You are constantly tested, you fail time upon time, and it's very difficult to see the world in the light of positivism.
It doesn't necessarily have to be that way.
You see, folk grapple with deep change because they don't know how to act when the counterproductive emotions start bubbling up. They suspect that because negativeness is occuring that they must be doing some things wrong. No! Not remotely. In fact, if you are seriously struggling and it hurts a little, you are doing things right. Fundamentally, you are growing. You're moving past your zone of comfort.
When you're going through huge changes, you're going to come across some significant problems. Discomfort is going to come out to play, your internal critic is going to run wild, and you are going to have some struggles. That is fantasically ok! That really means you are heading in the correct direction. Don't give up now when you're in pain. Keep going and see it all the way through and you'll cross the finish line a transformed person.
The "Frying Pan Of Life" is all about the best way to get sufficiently near to the agony to work with it without being consumed by it. When you are constructing a new life, old things really tend to seep out and you have to spend a while working with them. This is a standard part of the growing process. But you have got to work with them because if you don't, you run the risk of allowing the past to sabotage your dreams.
So how does one do this?
You have got to get sufficiently close to the agony and experience it without getting totally consumed by it. You have to be pleased to bring yourself to the agonizing places and let the thoughts and emotions swirl around you without taking you wholly 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 bit of skill and plenty of practice, but if you can actually spend some time working in these dark areas with some compassion and love, you can defrost even the coldest of hearts.
