Re: inner resistance

Awareness is the first step.  Sometimes resistance is out of our
awareness perhaps because we call it by another name.  James calls it
procrastination sometimes.  I think you said you were looking for an
exercise.  Try this.  Make a list of your behaviors that you do when you
resist.  They may have different names like procrastination (I sometimes
ignore, blame, blow off.)   Practice catching yourself doing one of the
behaviors on your list.  This will help with awareness.

Once you get good at the awareness piece you can try to find the
positive intention in each of the behaviors like James did with
procrastination--it protects him from doing poor quality work.

Remember another resource is choice.  You get to choose what to do with
your resistance.  Using your awareness and your knowledge of positive
intention you can choose to act on the positive intention or not.  Using
the procrastination example, I might be aware that I'm procrastinating
(because it protects me from doing poor work) but choose to stop
procrastinating because it might be OK sometimes to do poor work
temporarily, like when I am working the kinks out of a new idea.

> Hi Wayne,
> Thanks for your reply. Maybe remove/demish is not the right
expression. In my personal life I 'transformed' a lot of my former
resistences into what is sometimes called 'personal power' or 'inner
strength'. So transforming is probably a better way to discribe the
proces I am after, but before that I am looking for different ways than
I know to transform resistance into power/resource.
