“How you relate to yourself while you go through the issue IS the issue.”
-Drs. Ron and Mary Hulnick

So many of us get really hard on ourselves when we resist the very thing we want. When we don’t follow through on the actions that we know would help us create the outcomes that we want. It can be frustrating, maddening, and confusing when there’s a part of us that is really clear that we want a different experience- to earn more money, to pay off debt, to break cycles of living paycheck to paycheck- YET we find ourselves slipping back into conditioned behaviors and conditioned patterns- feeling both disempowered and disappointed in our apparent lack of will or commitment. 

It gets especially confusing when we KNOW that the new experience we are going for would be so good for us and would feel so much better  (in this case- inviting clients, serving clients, making offers, choosing fees that work for us, etc).

So WHY THE HECK are we resisting/avoiding them?

What’s actually going on inside when we say we want one thing and do another?

Why does it feel like we’ve got a tug-of-war going on inside?

From the lens of Spiritual Psychology- the art and science of conscious awakening- what you’re experiencing is the struggle between your Authentic Self (otherwise known as your True Self/Higher Self/Inner Wisdom/Soul- that guides you to evolve and grow in consciousness so that you can experience greater levels of peace, joy, fulfillment, abundance, etc) and your Conditioned Self  (the parts of you that keep acting out in habitual ways based on old decisions/beliefs that no longer support you or keep you safe as they did at one point).

From this lens, the inner tussle takes on a sacred purpose. It allows us to approach the inner discord from a place of curiosity, compassion, and support rather than self-criticism over our lack of willpower.

When we can slow it down and get to know the part of us that keeps going back to old patterns, we have a real shot at healing/releasing old beliefs and patterns, rather than having to manage/control ourselves into new ways of being. This is exactly what we’ll explore in my upcoming complimentary 90-minute Zoom workshop.
