“Continuing on. I realized if any of that was going to change then I would have to make it change by making some changes in and for myself. I learned that whatever we resist persists. When we struggle against ourselves or against what life offers it creates more discord.
The more we fight against what we don’t want and the more we think about what we don’t want the more we get exactly what we don’t want. That is what I’d been doing all my life and here I was doing it again. I resented certain events, circumstances and people.
When I encountered difficulty or things I didn’t like, I fought them. I didn’t like having to do things I didn’t want or like to do. I resented this as well. I may even have done them reluctantly or begrudgingly but because I had a ‘poor’ attitude, things generally sucked.

It’s true of all of us. For me, there were many things I just did not want to do. There may always be. Things like cleaning, accounting, chores, dealing with difficult people, other drivers, you know. Lots of things that are just unpleasant but necessary.
It occurred to me that if I did these resenting them or telling myself how much I disliked them while doing them, I was creating more of the same bad energy. So, I determined to focus on whatever good feelings or thoughts I could muster about these activities.
I found it helped to focus on the end result. The task was done and I could relax or celebrate the fact that it was completed. I always hated taxes and thinking about it made me anxious. Completing then I felt relieved and good and realized it wasn’t all that bad doing them.

At this point, it began to occur to me that whatever better thought I could come up with to replace the negative one, even if it wasn’t the best positive thought, this new one was actually better for me and moved me toward what I ultimately wanted. It worked.
I found a way to move forward. May not have found the perfect positive thought, or the perfect way of doing something but it still worked. I realized it didn’t have to be perfect. I didn’t have to be perfect. I just needed to move forward a little bit to benefit.
I didn’t have to be a cheerleader oozing with positivity for doing these tasks. All I had to do was to find thoughts that were slightly more positive than what I started with. Incremental steps toward where you want to go is far superior to no movement at all.

It is also absolutely better than wallowing where you are. This was another big realization for me. More next time. Changing may seem difficult. In some ways it is. It is, until we understand the process. It is far more lenient than we usually think it is and we can make great strides making minor adjustments. Get this. Celebrate everything!” Rex Sikes
