What we resist persists

Whatever it is that you resist, be that feelings, work, confrontation, chores…..will still be there even though you are resisting, right?  Another word for this that some use is procrastination.  Somehow we try to convince ourselves that if we ignore it or put it off it will go away?!  But does it, no!  In the world of mental health, the more we resist feelings we are having, the more then continue to bother us until finally we blow up (remember the pressure cooker) and cause us much more trouble than it would have if we had not resisted for so long.  So, my advice would be fairly obvious at this point…stop resisting and face the feelings.  Face the fears.  Move through it instead of denying or running from it.  It might be scary at the time, but very well worth it after you do it!
