The Frying Pan Of Life?!

By Evan Sanders


Changing your life is tough. It's very tough. I mean, incredibly hard.

For anyone who really has attempted to make some significant changes in their life because they couldn't handle living in the same mediocre way any longer, you've potentially experienced the growing pains that come along for the ride with deciding to live in an other way. You are consistently tested, you fail time and time again, and it's very difficult to see the world in the light of positivism.

Nonetheless 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 negative emotions start bubbling up. They suspect that because negativeness is occuring that they must be doing something wrong. No! Not in any way. Actually if you are seriously struggling and it hurts a little, you're doing things right. Fundamentally, you are growing. You're moving past your zone of comfort.

When you're going through large changes, you're going to come across some important problems. Discomfort is going to come out to play, your inner 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 correct direction. Don't give up now when you are hurting. 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 the way to get sufficiently near to the discomfort to work with it without being consumed by it. When you are creating a new life, old things have a tendency to trickle out and you have got to spend some time 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 danger of allowing the past to sabotage your dreams.

So how does one do this?

You've got to get sufficiently close to the agony and experience it without getting completely consumed by it. You have to be willing to bring yourself to the unpleasant places and let the thoughts and feelings swirl around you without taking you completely 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 little bit of talent and a lot of practice, but if you can truly spend a while working in these dark areas with some compassion and love, you can defrost even the coldest of hearts.
