Here are some journaling prompts to explore resistance and gain deeper understanding of its roots:
1. Identify the Resistance:
"What am I currently resisting in my life or work? How does it show up in my thoughts, emotions, or body?"
2. Root Cause Exploration:
"What fears or beliefs might be driving this resistance? How do these fears protect me, and how do they limit me?"
3. Connection to Past Experiences:
"When have I felt similar resistance before? What past experiences or patterns might be influencing this resistance?"
4. Impact on Relationships:
"How does my resistance affect my relationships with others, particularly those closest to me? What dynamics does it create?"
5. Body Awareness:
"Where in my body do I feel resistance? How does it feel? What might my body be trying to communicate to me through this sensation?"
6. Resistance as a Teacher:
"If I saw my resistance as a messenger or teacher, what lessons might it be offering me right now?"
7. Exploring Alternatives:
"What would happen if I leaned into what I’m resisting? What emotions or outcomes do I imagine if I release my resistance?"
8. Next Steps:
"What small step can I take today to acknowledge and begin to soften my resistance? How can I honor the part of me that feels afraid?"
9. Reframing Resistance:
"In what ways could resistance be a sign of growth or change on the horizon? How might this be an invitation to transform?"
These prompts can help bring clarity and open space for deeper self-awareness around resistance.
