OK, so I decided not to drop the subject. I thought it might help if I gave a concrete example of resistance to ideas. I have a client she is a chiropractor with a successful business, and still growing. Recently her Yoga person chose to not renew her contract for the room she was renting this put an extra financial burden on my client. Please note that at this point she can afford to cover the cost. The funny part is she has never had full responsibility before so she is stressed out and all of the sudden clients start canceling appointments. This has brought her to a place where now she is getting stressed about money and questioning her self and her abilities as a business owner. She was confident last month and one change in her business and boom she is no longer a competent business owner. We came up with a plan to move her forward and her it is: please remember I believe in simple:
1. 3-4 Deep breaths
2. Observe her thinking
3. Don't judge her negative thoughts just notice
4. Gently bring her thoughts to the business success's and where she wants to build her business
5. Repeat as necessary
We ended the meeting with additional homework that I won't get into, right now. It is more fun to be in flow than it is to resist. If life throws more responsibility at you consider it a compliment. I received an email later that day about how she changed her attitude and energy and got two new clients and someone called to possibly rent the room. If you want help with this process beyond the above example call me at (404) 259-1335.
