158: Gain Your POWER By LETTING GO

Published: Aug. 17, 2017, 8 a.m.

b'As many of you know, I\\u2019m in the final days of writing my book (due this week) and the act of even doing this quickie podcast was painful. It\\u2019s not that I didn\\u2019t want to record a message for all of you, it\\u2019s just that I kept thinking about all the other things I should be doing. On top of that, I wanted to make sure I was delivering an impactful message to all of you.\\n I was so attached to how I was going to get there that I made it way more difficult than it needed to be. So, I took a deep breath, let go of that resistance and focused on what was at the forefront of my mind...and here I am!\\n \\u201cWhen you stop living in the resistance and actually just do the thing, it\\u2019s amazing what gets done.\\u201d\\n It was totally the same way before my workout today as well. Gah! Just do it already (and I did)! Anyone else? Resistance pops up everywhere, but it\\u2019s up to us to use it to our benefit. I\\u2019ve realized recently that I\\u2019ve had to let go of the idea that things should come to me in a certain form. When I have set expectations and thoughts that say it has to go one way, opportunities arrived to me in a very slow trickle. But once I surrendered and let go \\u2013 BAM! Tedx Talk, my book, etc. And I know because I\\u2019ve fought to remain so open, much more is on the horizon.\\n \\u201cSurrender to life and watch things happen.\\u201d\\n I hope you join me for a short resistance-releasing exercise in this episode. Even 2-3 minutes of focus can turn things around for you. When you can create a space of surrender, you will make your decisions from a much more powerful, connected place. Are you ready? Trick question \\u2013 do it anyway.\\n What feelings do you want? What can you let go of to get you to that place? What can the resistance you\\u2019re feeling offer you? I understand that this may make you feel a touch out of control, but be open and know you\\u2019re not letting go of the good things.\\n \\xa0\\n \\u201cYou\\u2019re not losing control; you\\u2019re gaining your power back."\\n How much can you let go of today to gain that power back?\\xa0\\n In This Episode You Will Learn:\\n Why it\\u2019s important to surrender to life\\n How to tap into the feelings you truly want to feel\\n Ways to release resistance and let go\\n \\xa0\\n Resources:\\n The Bliss Habit 12-Week eCourse\\n For more information, visit theblisshabit.com.\\n \\xa0\\n Lori\\u2019s Tedx Talk: Turn Your Struggle into Strengths\\n Loriharder.com/tedx\\n \\xa0\\n The Surrender Experiment by Michael A.
