La Resistance: 30-Days of Breathwork

Ahh so this week I didn’t follow through with my plan for Breathwork every day. I only practiced two days this week. I want to tell you all these reasons (excuses) as to why I didn’t or couldn’t, but I know it was my choice.

I have learned to take 100% responsibility for my life and that means not slipping into the victim role of saying I didn’t have time or didn’t feel good. I know that using excuses just keeps me stuck.

So why did I choose not to practice Breathwork everyday this week? What’s the resistance I’m bumping up against?

To be completely honest with you (and myself) I think I do have a little fear of what I might “uncover”. This is such a wonderful thing for me to realize because I know some of my clients experience this same thing.

I committed to this challenge so that I could experience all aspects of this practice and relate to my Breathwork clients more. I want to go deep and experience the Breathwork on all levels so that I can understand and relate to what my participants experience.

This practice does bring up stuff to look at and work on. That’s the magic of the experience and why I believe in it so whole heartedly. It shows you exactly what you need in the moment.

I trust that everything is happening exactly as it supposed to.

Instead of beating myself up for not sticking to the program I will learn the lesson that has been put in front of me. I will experience the fear of the unknown and I will continue to practice Breathwork everyday for a total of 30 days.

I will also put into place some structure so that it’s easier for me to commit to every day. Instead of practicing when ever I feel like it (which leaves room for me to not ever feel like it), I will commit to practicing before noon everyday.

I’m off to practice my daily Breathwork! It feels good to acknowledge my fears and take action anyway.
