Changing your life isn't easy. It's really hard. I mean, incredibly hard.
For anyone who has seriously attempted to make some major changes in their life because they couldn't handle living in a similar way any longer, you've possibly experienced the growing pains that come along for the ride with deciding to live in a different way. You are constantly tested, you fail time upon time, and it's very tricky to see the world in the light of cheerfulness.
It doesn't necessarily need to be that way.
You see, folk grapple with deep change because they do not know the skilled way to act when the negative feelings start bubbling up. They think that because negativism is occuring that they must be doing something wrong. No! Not in any way. Actually if you are struggling and it hurts a little, you are actually doing things right. Fundamentally, you are growing. You're moving past your zone of comfort.
When you're going through big changes, you're going to come across some significant difficulties. Discomfort is going to come out to play, your internal critic is going to run wild, and you are going to have some struggles. In truth, that is fantasically ok! It really means you are heading in the proper direction. Don't give up now when you're hurting. 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 how to get sufficiently near to the discomfort to work with it without being consumed by it. When you are making a new life, old things have a tendency to trickle out and you have got to spend a while working with them. This is a standard part of the growing process. But you've got to work with them because if you don't, you run the chance of allowing the past to sabotage your dreams.
So how does one do this?
You have to get close enough to the agony and experience it without getting totally consumed by it. You have to be content to bring yourself to the unpleasant places and let the thoughts and emotions swirl around you without taking you totally out of the game. When you can do that, you give yourself access to the lessons and light that are held within that dark place.
This takes a bit of ability and plenty of practice, but if you can really spend a while working in these dark areas with some compassion and love, you can defrost even the coldest of hearts.
