WHAT ARE YOU RESISTING?

by Ranchelle Van Bryce The first time I was asked that was by my coach, I had hit a wall. Some people call it a glass ceiling, but for me, it was a wall - A HUGE BRICK WALL. I had come as far as I could in my business and I could NOT, for the life of me, figure out why things were not going the way I wanted them to. I was frustrated, angry, sad, hurt, and felt like I was failing over and over again. I couldn’t see over the obstacle of ‘I don’t have enough clients’’ B.S. that I was telling myself.

Can you relate? I looked around my office day in and day out and thought to myself, why can’t I figure this sh*t out? What’s happening? I felt hopeless. I hadn’t felt this way since Curves had done their re-brand in the early 2000’s

and then I felt like I was at the whim of the Franchise and there was nothing I could do. As I was staring into space, I was asked again… Ranchelle, what are you resisting doing, being, or having? It is THAT belief that is keeping you stuck. It is the THING you are resisting that is preventing you from living your purpose. In silence, I pondered. Then a flood of answers came to me. I am resisting being judged. I am resisting being heard. I am resisting standing up for what I believe in. I am resisting being called too woo-hoo. I am resisting being seen. I am resisting doing what’s necessary to make this work. I am resisting love. I am resisting being the woman I know I can be - because what if I fail? I am resisting boundaries. I am resisting so much

What we Resist Persists You see, what we resist persists. PERIOD. For example, if I am resisting being heard, I will create more of ‘not being heard’. Why is that?
