What if I spend all of this time doing this program and things don’t improve or get worse? The physical movements prime your mind to absorb and metabolize the concepts. Do the movements, read the concepts, be curious, challenge your resistance, and things will, absolutely, positively change. Don’t look a mile down the road; concentrate on the next step … and then the next.

I am having a lot of trouble keeping up with the program and am feeling like a stressed out, overwhelmed failure. You are feeling, that is a success! Congratulate yourself and then start taking it a little slower. The schedule is a suggestion, use it if it serves you and slow down if it doesn’t. The most important thing is to do the movements, even if you have to do them while you drive, as you lay in bed or pretend to work at your desk.

I don’t know where to start, what to do next, or I am lost – Go back a week or back to a place where you felt like you got it and start again from there. Watch the videos, read the descriptions, and study the concepts. Take it one step at a time and more important than anything else DO THE MOVEMENTS! This isn’t a program you can read without doing the practices. The practices reconfigure your body and your energy field to help you metabolize the concepts.

This program is challenging. I am more emotional and feel overcharged. Becoming more aware of my resistance has shown me how difficult I make everything I do and every relationship I am in. Does it get any easier? Yes, yes it does! As you begin to allow your resistance to transition toward movement, the bouts of resistance will pass more quickly. Eventually, you will be aware of your resistance before it slows you down, then you will make a decision to move and the resistance will rarely take hold.

I don’t have the money to continue. Three things to consider. #1 The “not enough money” story is a response to the discomfort of change and growth and it may be something you have used in the past to stay stuck. Make a budget and prioritize your spending. See what you can curtail and what things you can do to increase your income. #2 You actually aren’t in a financial position to continue. Print out the movements and concepts and do them until you can afford to continue. #3 Look at our Ambassador program. It is an affiliate program where you get a percentage of all members you enlist for every month they participate. You could pay for your membership by just encouraging a few people to sign up and helping to ripple out the effects!

 I don’t have in it in me to stick with it.  I’m not enough. Resources might be physical, mental, emotional or energetic. Figure out exactly where you feel like you don’t have enough or aren’t enough in some way. And then ask yourself it that is actually true or some sort of projection. If the movements are too taxing, slow down, move at a pace that is comfortable. Reread the concepts about resistance. If you feel mentally or emotionally overwhelmed, practice the Sit and Unwind movements until you feel like you have the capacity to continue. Take it slow, each of the movements only take a few minutes. Think in blocks small blocks of time.

I feel stuck. I don’t have the energy to move or progress. It feels like a don’t have choices. “Stuck” is a manifestation of resistance. Your subconscious mind is so fearful of change that it convinces your conscious mind to disregard opportunities without evaluation. Do a Sit and Unwind or Square Breath practice and then ask yourself which opportunities that you are discounting without consideration. If all else fails, move. Move your body and your mind and emotions will follow.

I am too busy. I though I’d have more time for this program. One of the major benefits of this program will be a reprioritizing of your time, habits, actions and life. When you set new intentions based upon what you value and begin to acknowledge how much time you spend on things that don’t have any meaning, you will have plenty of time for the requirements of this course. In the beginning, make the time. You will be glad you did.

I don’t see how these simple movements, some breathing techniques and some new ideas is going to change how I have been living. The way you have been living is a habit. When you change your habits; you change how you are living. All of your actions and decision compound into your way of being and living in the world. Every avalanche is made up of tiny flakes of snow … until it gains enough momentum to enlist other things to join it.

This isn’t the right time for me, I am too __________. This is usually a sure sign of resistance to change. If now is not the right time, you might not want to change. Your current circumstances may be too addictive to confront. Your fear may overwhelm your desire for change. This is your subconscious mind trying to make you into a mushroom (keep you in the dark and feed you nothing but fertilizer). Keep going, do the practices and remember to breathe. The Square Breath practice in Layer One, Week Two is a great way to sit through mental and emotional quit stories.

I am noticing much more aware of conflict in my life. How can I avoid this? The key here is that you are more aware of the conflict; which is different than having more conflict. Don’t try to avoid it, try to devalue it. Conflict happens when two strongly held fears are at odds. Feel the dynamic tension between them and allow it to exist without reaction. It takes practice, but you can do it. Sit and Unwind is a great practice for times like this.

My life is so full, it feels like I am struggling to maintain my sanity and composure. Most of your fellow Change Militia members are in the same place. This program will help you put your life in perspective and give it order based upon your underlying intentions not your habitual stresses and stressors.

I don’t know how this is going to work. I can’t imagine or conceive of my success with this program. Future projections of safety are the work of the limiting subconscious mind. It tries to convince you that if the future is unknown it is probably bad. It attempts to keep you swirling in the same soup because it has tasted that soup and survived. Any new soup, however delicious, is an unknown and to be avoided. Mental constraints don’t help you. Disregard them. Do the movements and feel for yourself. Have a direct, personal experience and let that determine your action.

What if  I change and  my relationship fails, or my friends abandon me? ­ Your life will change, that is why you signed up; to change your life. If your relationship is going to fail, it won’t be because of this program; it will be because this program highlights how it has already failed and doesn’t meet your intentions. Some of your friends will go away. They will be the ones who colluded with your dysfunctions, dramas and diffusions. The people that feed off of you will go away as you no longer make yourself available to be taken advantage of.

I am so stuck in my current behaviors, addictions and dysfunctions that it doesn’t feel like change, much less success, is possible. The ruts you are in may feel like superglue but in reality, they are a compounding of small movements that you put together in the same fashion over and over again until it feels like there is no other way to be. Recite the alphabet the way you were taught in school. It feels easy. It feels familiar. Now imagine if you could only speak in words that you form with sequential letters. Your vocabulary would be severally limited. Habits are the same way. Change up the sequence, add some new combinations, and change your life.

I don’t have anyone in my life to help me make the changes I want to make. Perfect! This is a community, join in. Participate in the Facebook group and on the Group calls or schedule a call with Kelly or Jeff. Find people in the community that are in the same layer as you and begin some dialog. Share your successes and challenges. And most importantly, become your own support. This is a foundational program; do the movements and practices as you study the concepts. You will get stronger, more self-sufficient and then you will be able to radiate your strength outward becoming support for others.
