• July 15, 2008

Question of the Day: What did I resist doing today because I was scared of x?

Find out what you resisted and find out what x was.

Example: “I resisted working out today because I have some weird fear that I won’t stick to it after a few days anyway.”

Example: “I resisted talking to my dad today because I feel I’m dissapointing him again.”

Example: “I didn’t work on that project because I’m afraid I don’t know what I’m doing.”

The ego’s goal is to cause as much drama without being seen. Because it’s nature is to hide, it doesn’t want you to notice why you feel the way that you do. 

When you conciously write things down or say them out loud, the ego can’t hide anymore.

That’s why many spiritual teachers often say, “Noticing is sometimes enough.”
