You cannot resist your resistance. To do so would only create more discomfort. Instead, we suggest you explore what you can do to meet your needs and lovingly shepherd yourself forward.

Tend to the part of you that is in resistance with tenderness, understanding it is just a part of you that is feeling afraid, overwhelmed, or unsure. Thank it for trying to serve you and for alerting you to an aspect of yourself that is in need of your love, attention, reassurance, and guidance.

Once you have done that, you can include that aspect of you in the exploration of what you can say yes to. Allow your inner wise one to take the burden from the part of you that has felt the need for resistance and to guide yourself forward as a cohesive unit. Redirect your combined focus to what is working for you, and what gifts are available to you right now.

It is a small step from exploring what is working for you in whatever phase you find yourself in to gratitude. This is a profound shift because you cannot be in gratitude and resistance at the same time.

Do you see? Once you have shifted into gratitude you have entered the land of acceptance, which allows you to receive the support and expansion that is available to you with far greater grace, ease, and comfort than ever before. ~Archangel Gabriel through Shelley Young
