Stuck in a Rut? It's Time to Embrace the Uncomfortable!

 


Have you heard of the word antithesis? It means doing the opposite of something. Similarly, the opposite of change or transformation is resistance. This resistance makes your life painful, complicated, and stagnant. 


The will to not change, or recognize our resistance and not transform is yes! It is a choice, but the willingness to accept and drop the stance of it helps your connection with yourself. 

I believe resistance is a survival instinct of our nervous system that blocks our cognitive abilities and hence, the mind that has been in survival mode for the longest time, does not allow us to open ourselves to change and fall back on our gut instincts and rather further resist change and transform. 


But, the flip side is that resisting change for a longer duration makes you lose the relationship with yourself because you block or ignore emotions and only see through the lens of your preconceived notions and conditioned responses. Neuroscientists have also proved that the human brain often chooses protection over vulnerability because of experiences and stored trauma. 


Mental health professionals make an effort for people to be vulnerable, and hence they truly understand that taking the courage to open the layers of your emotions to strangers isn't easy either. Courage is a state of abstractness and is intangible. It takes time for most people out there to take time to reflect and, seeing that there is a problem to be addressed, it also takes courage and wisdom!


This deep-rooted culture of numbing to step up and act from a place of courage only comes when one feels the gravitas of their emotions. Numbing negative, as well as positive feelings, prevents us from our true meaning and purpose in life, creating a vicious cycle. 

Most of the time, why we resist coming out of our comfort zone is our inhibitions, lack of courage, fear of judgment, and at times even procrastination-and also the deep-rooted ancestral conditioning that passes on and becomes a part of our DNA with every generation until this loop is broken. 


Breaking free from resistance isn't easy, but it's worth it. By facing our fears and embracing vulnerability, we open ourselves to growth, deeper connections, and a more fulfilling life. Remember, every step towards change, no matter how small, is an act of courage. Your future self will thank you for taking that leap!


Embracing discomfort and vulnerability is the key to personal growth and breaking free from resistance. We open ourselves to transformative experiences and a more authentic life by acknowledging our emotions and challenging our ingrained patterns. Remember, every step towards change is an act of courage that brings you closer to your true self and purpose.

  In a world where science and spirituality has been perceived differently, there definitely is a mesmerizing connection and intersection, where both science and spirituality blend harmoniously. This article allows the readers to explore how science and spirituality intertwine and why they are both essential facets of human existence.  Science deals with understanding the universe physically through observation, experimentation, analysis and then coming onto a plausible conclusion, while spirituality delves into the realms of consciousness, meaning and transcendence.  With closer examination, it has been found that both these disciplines share a common ground in the pursuit of truth and understanding.

Unmasking Mental Health: How Gender Stereotypes Affect Treatment and Healing

Image
  Have you ever wondered why mental health is a big gap even today amongst different genders? Let's ponder upon them. One of the major concerns why people suffering from mental issues, not seeking help is gender stereotypes, conditioning and social stigma.  Mental health is an industry in our country which is still kept behind the closet and not openly accepted as yet.  For mental health professionals,  it is important to focus on a person’s lived experiences and the perpetuating factors leading them to an issue.  None of those seeking help, should feel any bias or be labeled because of their gender or sexual orientation.  Over the years, it has been observed that the gender biases occur during the treatment depending on a therapist’s awareness level and inherent biases. It has especially been indicated that men under-report their feelings and emotions and restrict themselves from coming forward and speaking up.  Given the Stigma around men’s mental he...
