Relax Into the Experience?

When something bad happens in life, it is human nature to resist.?

But what would happen if we could dial down resistance to what life brings us??

What would it be like to relax into the experience?

Wouldn't that change a lot of things??

Instead of fighting "what is", imagine if you accepted "what is"?

I'm not saying this is an easy thing to do.?

My recent experience with an injury has reminded me that I fight "bad" things just as much as the next person.?

But if we can bring consciousness to our reactions to any given experience and a commitment to being intentional, life can be so much better.?

• Rather than complaining, can we be more curious?
• Rather than judging (usually ourselves), can we be more curious and compassionate??
• Rather than focusing on the "bad", can we take a deep breath and try to find some good??
• Rather than expecting perfection (because anything else would prove our weakness and unworthiness), what if we were to embrace whatever experiences are brought to us and lean into them??
• Would it be possible to move toward savoring sadness, allowing anger to flow, embracing fear, or accepting pain??

Surprisingly, this is a perspective that can bring happiness and peace.?

Because it is in the resistance of "what is" that we find the most unhappiness and stress.?

Doing this takes a commitment to living a peaceful and happy life.?

It takes being mindful and practicing compassionate observation of yourself.?

It requires feeling pain, sadness, anger, and fear.?

Not easy.?

But worth the effort.?

Because as we relax into these sensations, they tend to lose their powerful grip on us.?

This is exactly the type of topic we will discuss in The Peaceful Power Club.?

If you are interested in living a fulfilling life of your design, I invite you to join us.

We will have online discussions and group calls. And we will hold each other accountable.?

We are having our first meeting on Wednesday, May 22 at 12 PM EDT.?

This will be an exploratory meeting. Let's create this Club together!!?

For now, there will be no charge for the Peaceful Power Club.?

The only requirement is that you are committed to living intentionally and you are willing to be supportive of others.?

MESSAGE ME ON LINKEDIN IF YOU ARE INTERESTED.

With love,?

Jill
