Today I planned on cleaning my space. You know the usual vacuuming, washing the floors, cleaning the bathroom etc. I really I didn't want to do it I hummed and hawed had another coffee finished a great book I've been reading. You know the usual procrastinations. I observe myself turn into a 4 year old....I don't want to do this. Somebody should be doing this for me.....LOL. So then I got myself ready murphy oil in hand.
After 3 minutes in I am smiling and happy with the joy of cleanliness. I start laughing to myself because I was feeling pure joy in the cleaning and yet I was so resistant. I then washed the floor and yes I was still happy WOW! What a transformation inside and out. Happy feelings and a clean house :AMAZING. In that moment I started asking myself what other things I am resisting in my life that in the moment I feel pure joy? Geez exercise maybe? Yes! Eating good clean wholesome food?...there's the four year old again :" I just want cookies and muffins and delicious bake goods."
So my demon is my inner four year old she wants control and I let her get away with a lot because sometimes I think I am the one thinking those things. I've never looked at it in a way that what I am thinking and feeling might just be coming from my irrational four year that isn't as educated about what is really truly good for me.
All this while cleaning a floor.
A couple of things I want to ask you:
Were in your life do find yourself resistant?
What or who is your demon?
Try to get to know your inner child:
Have a conversation with them if you open communication with your inner child this will help you understand what you are resistant about and why?
How old are they?
WHat are their fears?
Let them know that you will always take care of them and that you will always have an open communication with them.
Have a joyful day!
