Changing your life is tough. It's very tough. I mean, incredibly hard.
For anyone who has attempted to make some significant changes in their life because they couldn't handle living in a similar way any more, you've probably experienced the growing pains that come along 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 cheerfulness.
It doesn't necessarily need to be that way.
You see, people struggle with deep change because they do not know the skilled way to act when the counterproductive emotions start bubbling up. They think that because negativity is occuring that they have got to be doing some things wrong. No! Not at all. In fact, if you are wrestling 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 large changes, you're going to come across some gruelling difficulties. Agony is going to come out to play, your inner critic is going to run wild and free, and you are going to have some struggles. That is absolutely ok! It really means you are heading in the proper direction. Don't quit now when you're hurting. Keep going and see it all the way through and you will cross the finish line a transformed woman or man.
The "Frying Pan Of Life" is all about how to get near enough to the pain to work with it without being consumed by it. When you are making a new life, old things have a tendency to seep out and you have to spend a while working with them. This is a natural part of the growing process. But you've got to work with them because if you don't, you run the risk of allowing the past to sabotage your dreams.
So how do you actually do this?
You've got to get sufficiently close to the pain and experience it without getting completely consumed by it. You've got to be content to bring yourself to the painful places and let the thoughts and feelings 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 little bit of ability and lots of practice, but if you can truly spend a while working in these dark areas with some compassion and love, you can defrost even the coldest of hearts.
