Resistance and Procrastination on the Journey

God is very good.  As I was sitting watching television this morning, I realized I had so much resistance to being successful, wealthy, 3 sizes or so smaller and many others.

I have even been resistant to doing EFT which I find to be a wonderful way of clearing resistance and a wealth of other things.  Where does this resistance come from?

Well, I feel that it mostly comes from the conditioning that we have had during our lives.  Unless we grew up with money or our parents told us that possibilities were endless and there was more than enough to go around, we were more than likely told that we had to struggle, work hard and maybe some day we would have enough.

That's the way I grew up.  With hard working parents who didn't really struggle very much, but had come up during the depression years (and here we are again) and didn't have that mindset.

This is where my resistance comes from.  I am also resistant because I feel that I will lose something if I become rich, successful and skinny.  What will I lose?  I have asked myself that question many times.  In my mind (and I have expressed this in workshops that I have taken) I will lose my husband; I will no longer want him because he won't want to travel with me, won't want to go with me when I win my Academy Award or when I go on Oprah (I better hurry up).

All these types of things go through my mind when I think about being wealthy and successful.

Crazy, isn't it?  But is it?  We all have resistance to many things.  What are you resisting or procrastinating about?

Do you have a health challenge that perhaps has others taking care of you and you enjoy that.  Do you like the attention?  And, if you were healthy, would that attention go away?  Think about it.

A large part of being a Spiritual Being is knowing that you are and that you are entitled by Divine Right to everything in the kingdom.  Well, the kingdom has wealth, love, peace, health, joy and harmony.

Things we all say we want.  If only we could really know who we are, all those things that don't seem to be there will automatically be there.

It's like having automatic entries into your bank account every day.  This, for me, is what that knowing is.  Whatever you think you require, is already given and you don't even have to ask.  It seemingly, mysteriously shows up in the form of person, place or thing.

We have all had some moments of this happening.  We think a thing and the next thing we know, there is a phone call, knock on the door, letter or in some form or another, the thing magically appears.

What is so important is getting into the mindset that we have it all, can be it all and it is already done.

But, this is the lot of Spiritual Beings being in human form.  We left the garden and decided we knew better than our Father and here we are.  Having to "work" at getting back to that place where we know that it is already done.

I hereby declare today that I will work and do whatever it takes to clear the resistance to my good.  No more procrastinating and resisting doing EFT.  For pete's sake, it only takes a total of 16 minutes out of my life; my best buddy told me about EFT, what more do I want?

I am a resistance fighter now and just like the resistance fighters that helped so many escape war torn countries and saved many lives, I am here to save my own life.

Blessings and love.
