Day 4: Why you hold on to your story (Ford, Shadow)

     "Our fear of change, our fear of stepping into new realities, is so deep that we desperately cling to the world we know."  says Ford about why we continue to hold on to our story.  This story as explained before is your inner dialogue.  It could be, "I'm unimportant."  I'm not perfect." and so on.  It is whatever is holding you back from being your fully magnificent self.
     She explains that what is holding us back is our own resistance of who we are.  That we need to accept our full selves (the good and the bad) before we can begin to heal.  Our internal resistance says, "It shouldn't be like this."  In the past when Nate and I were having a rough week I would say this in my head but the more I said it the more it was exactly that, a rough week.  It is because I was focusing all my energy on trying to change the reality of a rough week instead of focusing on the good things of the week.
