Been thinking about how a person moves from complaining about what they don't have, to focusing on what they want...What that transition looks like.
We've all been there and experienced this too right? We sit down, settle in and gripe and talk about all the things we aren't doing, aren't eating, all the things we are doing wrong.
And sometimes we aren't ready to make a change...we might say we want it, but we poo poo every idea of taking action or changing. We'd rather stay complaining than take action. Isn't that weird? Haha, I've done it myself many times!!!!!!
I want to change something but resistance is so high inside me for some reason that it wouldn't matter if Drogo himself came out of Game of Thrones and pointed things out, I'd ignore it.
No. Hahaha, that's not true. Drogo would get through. Hahahaha!!! 😜😜😂😂😂
I've been thinking what it takes to crack the nut of our own resistance. When we start to think differently, and ultimately act differently.
For me, I know I'm onto something I can change when it really, really, REALLY bugs me. And I can't stop talking about it. And am assigning blame about it - whatever it is. Instead of digging in and looking at myself first - that's the kicker.
I know gratitude plays a massive role in this transition from weak to strong. Blame to ownership. Powerless to powerful, grumpy to happy.
One example in the past year and a half was when I got fed up of feeling sorry for myself and having pity party trips about how hard it was to find work. Gratitude was rooted in this feeling of being fed up with my attitude and response - and not in the typical way either - - it was something new!
It wasn't the usual, ok, ok I am grateful for a roof over my head, water to drink, a bed to sleep in. It was, "I am worthy NOW. I have a LOT of knowledge and experience and can help a LOT of people."
It was being grateful to myself, recognizing and honouring my gifts that opened the door, cracked the nut, and helped me get past my own BS. A ray of light shone in and I followed it.
Bit of a ramble this morning! Ideas bubbling all around! Have a great Friday everyone!! ❤️❤️😊😊🌞🌞
