All this past week I received messages from the Universe to trust, let go, and receive. From a chapter in my latest audiobook selection, “The Universe Has Your Back”  by Gabby Bernstein, to the quote I happened upon in Melody Beattie’s “Journey to the Heart”, about trusting your experience in “the dark”. So I went with this message. It made me think about how resistance to any situation only creates mental strain. Have we ever witnessed resistance resulting in any real results? I’m not talking about a resistance movement, but the desire to be away from or outside of your current situation, to dread or abhor a current situation or task that you face. It does not make that situation easier. It only seems to create mental strain. Have you noticed that? Just wanting to be out of your current situation does not lead to anything but stress. It puts us in a place of deprivation and separation from our wholeness, a place of lack. And being in that space never feels good. So what if we are unhappy with our current situation (or some aspect of it)? What can we do?

Fortunately, there are a few things we can do to lift ourselves out of this resistance  and be content in our current space.
