Changing your life is tough. It's very tough. I mean, surprisingly hard.
For anyone that has tried to make some major changes in their life because they couldn't handle living in the same way anymore, you've potentially experienced the growing pains that come along with deciding to live in another way. You are continually tested, you fail time and time again, and it's very difficult to see the world in the light of positivism.
It doesn't necessarily need to be that way.
You see, folks struggle with deep change because they really do not know the proper way to act when the negative emotions start bubbling up. They believe that because negativism is occuring that they've 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 big changes, you're going to come across some significant problems. Pain 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 perfectly ok! That really means you are heading in the correct direction. Don't give up now when you're suffering discomfort. Keep going and see it all the way through and you'll cross the finish line a transformed person.
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 trickle out and you've got to spend a while working with them. This is a natural part of the growing process. But you have got to work with them because if you do not, you run the danger of allowing the past to sabotage your dreams.
So how do you actually do this?
You have to get near enough to the discomfort and experience it without getting completely consumed by it. You have got to be content to bring yourself to the unpleasant places and let the thoughts and feelings and emotions swirl around you without taking you totally out of the game. When you can do that, you give yourself access to the lessons and light that are held within that dark place.
This takes a bit of ability and a lot 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.
