Stage 2 Reflection

Identifying Inner Resistance

This reflection exercise helps you recognize specific patterns of internal resistance that have been pulling you off your straight-line path. By identifying how emotional blocks manifest in your business decisions and actions, you'll develop awareness of what needs to be released. This awareness is crucial before you can effectively practice letting go, as you must first clearly see what you're holding onto that's creating friction in your entrepreneurial journey.

Instructions

Preparation

Find a quiet space where you won't be disturbed
Have a dedicated journal for this program - I strongly recommend using a physical notebook or digital tablet (like reMarkable) exclusively for your transformation work
Set aside 15-20 minutes for this exercise
Turn off notifications and remove distractions

Important Note: Complete this reflection exercise once during Stage 2. The patterns you identify will serve as powerful awareness points during your daily letting go practice. Review these insights before each guided release session to help you more effectively target and dissolve specific resistance patterns.

Step 1: Recognizing Resistance Patterns

Think of 2-3 recent situations where you felt stuck, frustrated, or found yourself zigzagging in your business journey. These might include delaying an important decision, feeling overwhelmed by opportunities or challenges, experiencing conflict with team members or clients, procrastinating on high-impact activities, or feeling blocked on a project despite knowing what to do.

For each situation:

What emotions arose during this situation? (Examples: fear, doubt, frustration, overwhelm) → Write your answer here.
Where did you feel these emotions in your body? (Examples: tightness in chest, knot in stomach, tension in shoulders) → Write your answer here.
What thoughts or stories accompanied these feelings? (Examples: "I'm not ready," "This won't work," "I need more information") → Write your answer here.

Step 2: Identifying Your Resistance Responses

For each situation above, examine how you typically handled the resistance:

Did you suppress the emotions? If so, how? (Examples: pushing through, ignoring feelings, distracting yourself) → Write your answer here.
Did you escape the emotions? If so, how? (Examples: procrastinating, busywork, social media, excessive planning) → Write your answer here.
Did you express the emotions? If so, how? (Examples: venting to others, emotional reactions, impulsive decisions) → Write your answer here.

Step 3: Connecting Resistance to Business Impact

Looking at these situations, reflect on the business consequences:

"I notice that my primary form of resistance shows up as __________________ (emotion) when I'm faced with __________________ (situation)." → Write your answer here.
"When this resistance appears, I typically respond by __________________ (suppressing/escaping/expressing) rather than releasing it." → Write your answer here.
"The business impact of this pattern has been __________________." → Write your answer here.

Next Steps

Choose one current business situation where you feel resistance arising. Before your next guided practice session, identify the specific emotions, bodily sensations, and thoughts associated with this situation. This awareness will make your letting go practice significantly more effective, as you'll be working with real, active resistance rather than theoretical concepts.

Remember: Awareness without judgment is the first step to freedom. Simply noticing these patterns without criticizing yourself for having them is powerful progress.
