Changing your life isn't easy. It's very tough. I mean, surprisingly hard.
For anyone who has tried to make some significant changes in their life because they couldn't handle living in a similar way anymore, you've potentially experienced the growing pains that come together with deciding to live in an other way. You are consistently tested, you fail time and again, and it's very difficult to see the world in the light of optimism.
Nonetheless it doesn't necessarily demand to be that way.
You see, people grapple with deep change because they don't know the proper way to act when the negative emotions start bubbling up. They think that because negativity is occuring that they've got to be doing it all wrong. No! Not at all. In reality if you are seriously fighting and it hurts a little, you are doing things right. Fundamentally, you are growing. You're moving past your comfort zone.
When you're going through huge changes, you're going to come across some significant difficulties. Discomfort is going to come out to play, your inner critic is going to run free, and you are going to have some struggles. That is fantasically ok! That actually means you are heading in the proper direction. Don't quit now when you are hurting. Keep going and see it all the way through and you will cross the finish line a transformed man or woman.
The "Frying Pan Of Life" is all about the best way to get sufficiently near to the pain to work with it without being consumed by it. When you are creating a new life, old things tend to flow out and you have to spend a good amount of time working with them. This is a natural part of the growing process. But you have to work with them because if you do not, you run the danger of allowing the past to sabotage your dreams.
So how does one do this?
You have to get near enough to the discomfort and experience it without getting completely consumed by it. You've got to be willing to bring yourself to the painful places and let the thoughts and emotions swirl around you without taking you totally 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 bit of skill and plenty of practice, but if you can truly spend some time working in these dark areas with some compassion and love, you can defrost even the coldest of hearts.
