What If Resistance Isn’t a Stop Sign?

We’ve all been there—sitting in front of a big decision, a new project, or a step that feels like it could change everything… and suddenly, resistance shows up.

That tightness in your chest.
That urge to procrastinate.
That little voice whispering, “Not now… maybe later.”

Most of us interpret resistance as a stop sign. A warning. Proof that we’re on the wrong path.

But what if resistance is actually something else?
What if it’s a compass 🧭—pointing you directly toward the work your soul came here to do?

Why We Resist the Work That Matters Most

Here’s the paradox: the more meaningful something is, the more resistance we’re likely to feel toward it.
Why? Because stepping into that work often requires part of our old identity to die off.

And death—even symbolic death—feels terrifying.

That resistance isn’t telling you “don’t go there.”
It’s saying, “this is big enough to change you.”

On the other side of resistance often lives:
✨ Alignment.
✨ Freedom.
✨ The next version of you, waiting for permission to step forward.

How to Work With Resistance (Instead of Against It)

Next time resistance shows up, instead of slamming the brakes, try this:

1️⃣ Pause. Notice it without judgment.
2️⃣ Drop into your body. Where is it living? Your chest, your throat, your stomach?
3️⃣ Feel into its wisdom. Resistance is rarely random—it has a message.
4️⃣ Identify the story. What belief or fear is it tied to?
5️⃣ Release with love. Acknowledge the old story and let it move through.
6️⃣ Check back in. Has the resistance softened?
7️⃣ Repeat as needed. Keep peeling back the layers until clarity arrives.

The Invitation

What if you stopped seeing resistance as an enemy and started seeing it as a guide?

The next time you feel it rise up, remember: resistance might not be a no… it might be the clearest “yes” your soul has ever spoken. ✨
