When resistance rises, we often recoil, assuming we’ve failed or veered off course.
But what if resistance isn’t punishment—it’s presence?
This is a reflection on how resistance becomes the sacred whisper of your path, calling you to shift, refine, and realign.
Today I have been thinking about how resistance is course correction.
When I ran into resistance, I used to think I had done something wrong.
That I had missed the turn.
That if I had been paying better attention I would have gotten it “right.”
Resistance felt like failure.
However, thinking of resistance as course correction means that I didn’t yet miss something.
Instead, the push back of resistance is trying to tell me something.
Trying to get my attention.
To offer a new perspective.
To let me know that I didn’t screw up.
There is no reason to blame or judge myself.
Resistance is course correction.
In taking a new path, I can lighten my load.
I don’t need to hit my brakes.
In the new path forward, I can find ways to use the new perspective to help me see my path forward.
This is the affirmation:
I am learning that resistance helps me adjust the path of my journey.
Next time resistance appears, pause. Breathe. Listen.
The pushback may not be an obstacle—it might just be the map.
Let resistance show you where your soul wants to go next.
