Changing your life isn't easy. It's really hard. I mean, extraordinarily hard.
For anyone who has seriously attempted to make some major changes in their life because they couldn't handle living in the same way any more, you've probably experienced the growing pains that come along for the ride with deciding to live in an other way. You are continually tested, you fail time and time again, and it's very difficult to see the world in the light of optimism.
But it doesn't necessarily demand to be that way.
You see, folks struggle with deep change because they do not know the proper way to act when the negative emotions start bubbling up. They suspect that because negativeness is occuring that they have got to be doing something wrong. No! Not remotely. In reality if you are seriously struggling and it hurts a little, you are actually doing things right. You're growing. You're moving past your comfort zone.
When you're going through large changes, you're going to come across some important difficulties. Agony is going to come out to play, your internal critic is going to run free, and you are going to have some struggles. In truth, that is absolutely ok! It really means you are heading in the proper direction. Don't quit now when you're in pain. Keep going and see it all the way through and you may cross the finish line a transformed woman or man.
The "Frying Pan Of Life" is all about how 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 seep out and you have got to spend a while working with them. This is a standard part of the growing process. But you have to work with them because if you fail to, you run the risk of allowing the past to sabotage your dreams.
So how do you actually do this?
You've got to get near enough to the pain and experience it without getting completely consumed by it. You have to be pleased 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 that can be done, you give yourself access to the lessons and light that are held within that dark place.
This takes a little bit of ability and lots of practice, but if you can really spend a while working in these dark areas with some compassion and love, you can defrost even the coldest of hearts.
