Yes, but…

Yesterday we pulled out one doable thing and wrote down the steps required to attain it. In days past, we’ve explored the “I can’t because…” and we explored the “I would… if..” stories that we tell ourselves. Today it’s time to get down and dirty and find every resistance, every excuse, and all our reasons why this one small thing isn’t happening.

Let’s use the example of having plumbing that actually works. This is something that is actually on my prosperity list, and I did the “I would if’s” about it in one of the previous posts.

Looks pretty simple, doesn’t it? Hire a plumber. And yet, I have had this plumbing issue for more than a year because I have been hugely resistant to hiring a plumber. It’s also a pretty simple plumbing issue that I could probably fix myself if I did a little research and followed directions. And I’ve been equally resistant to that as well. So… now what?

Take a look at what you wrote yesterday, your step by step tasks that are needed to achieve your particular doable “goal.” Time now to apply the following statements to every aspect of those tasks that brought up feelings of resistance, dread, fear, a tightness in your mouth, a heaviness on your heart… every single task that doesn’t feel good to think about doing right now this minute.

  • But…
  • But then I’d have to…
  • But I don’t want to…
  • I couldn’t possibly…
  • I don’t like to…
  • Oh God… really??? I have to ….. ???

This is how it looks for my plumbing issue.

Getting the faucet fixed in the bathtub so I can take nice hot bath.

  1. Call a plumber and schedule an appointment… DREADFEARBut then I’d have to have someone in my house that I don’t know, and he’d probably think I’m bat shit crazy, and I don’t want to have to do all the cleaning up that I’d feel compelled to do, and it makes me so tired to think about it, and already I’m judging myself through an unknown persons eyes which is retarded and stupid, but I’m doing it anyway… So… 70ac7f770b6f668fbd6e85b409359e5d
  2. Alternatively do it myself which requires the following:
    1. Look up you tube videos on how to do it.
    2. Make a list of supplies needed.
    3. Go to the hardware store and buy the supplies.
    4. Pay James to stand around and offer moral support while I dive into the unknown — Oh God… really??? I have to actually DO it?? No dread or fear… maybe a little anxiety and a tinge of excitement… But what if I mess it up? what if the pipes don’t seal properly? what if it takes hours and hours? I don’t like to do plumbing because I have to fold myself up into all kinds of uncomfortable positions… what if I fail? And I could have been doing something else, more interesting, more fun…

And now that I’ve got it all written out in black and white… it sounds so much less stressful to just do it myself. Even my excuses and resistance sound so flimsy that I think I just might actually do it. Which would be awesome, and a major life improvement.
