Pushing Past Resistance

Resistance Is a Sign to Keep Going

On the journey of personal growth, resistance is inevitable.

But resistance is not a signal to give up—it’s a sign to push forward. If growth is what you’re after, then resistance is proof that you’re on the right path.

Of course, not everyone chooses growth. And while I don’t personally resonate with that, it is a choice.

Every single day, we are given the opportunity to evolve or remain stagnant—to be better than we were yesterday.

So why do so many people choose not to grow?

Because it’s EASY.

It’s so easy to check out, to avoid doing the work, to stay comfortable. Growth requires effort, awareness, and discipline. It requires us to make choices that serve our highest good, even when they aren’t the most convenient.

When we reach for unhealthy food just for a moment of instant gratification—knowing it leads to long-term harm—we aren’t respecting ourselves. We are disrespecting our bodies.

I know this because I’ve been there.

I spent so much of my life being disrespectful to myself, and I had to do the work to forgive myself for that. I had to start making healthier choices, and truthfully? I’m still at the beginning.

The little things add up.

A little unhealthy choice here, a little procrastination there—it accumulates. But luckily, so do positive actions.

We live in a time of instant gratification, where we expect to see results overnight. But real, sustainable change comes with consistency, discipline, commitment, and perseverance.

It means doing the things we don’t feel like doing because we know they serve our highest good.

That said, rest is also important. The key is learning to recognize the difference between intuition and self-sabotage. When we’re honest with ourselves, we know what is and isn’t good for us.

We can justify unhealthy choices all we want. But over time, we stop craving what isn’t aligned with our well-being—because we see how it makes us feel. Whether it’s toxic food, toxic habits, or toxic people, we begin to recognize what’s draining our energy and keeping us from our highest path.

Choosing growth is a radical act.

In a world full of distractions and excuses, choosing to show up for yourself—day after day—is bold. It’s courageous. It’s transformative.

Resistance is just a sign that you’re stepping beyond your comfort zone.

And that means you’re growing.

So keep going. Keep showing up for yourself.

Every small step forward is a victory.

We have one life to live—let’s live it free, healthy, and happy.

Sending you love today. Go out and be brilliant. ✨💛
