🌟 13 Questions to Journal When You're Resisting Change ⚡️ The Destiny Architecture Blueprint 3/20/23
No sooner did I send out last week's newsletter referencing the classic business book, "Who Moved My Cheese," my "cheese" was moved again! Twice!
I had spent a lot of time gathering the info for a blog post that had been titled, "4 Ways to Subscribe to Destiny Architecture’s Weekly Guided Audio Meditations with Heather Larson."
Guess what? I had to change it to "3 Ways," because Spotify took over Anchor!
I had to laugh. 😂 The links to Anchor still work. It's just branded as Spotify now. I still edited the blog to reflect reality. Guess what happened next?
Another software I'd been using changed names!
"Ok, I'm out. I can't keep changing everything to keep up!"
Well, the joke's on me. Turns out, we don't have a choice but to keep changing in order to keep up. But humans don't like change. I know this from working in the addiction field and...from being human.
I've been taking deeper dives into where I've resisted change lately.
This led to some questions you can ask yourself:
- Why am I (subconsciously) comfortable here?
- Am I resisting change because I'm afraid of the new? Or because I may have to say goodbye to the old? (Or both).
- What part of me can't come along on this journey? And what can I do to release it?
- Am I not sleeping well? (This means too much or not enough).
- What parts of my life don't make me feel energized?
- Which parts do make me feel energized?
- Where am I wasting my energy in exchanges that don't leave me full, fulfilled, &/or nourished?
- Does this align with my purpose(s) — (as you understand your purpose(s) to be in this moment)?
- Have I created space and time to welcome change? (Have you created an environment personally, physically, spiritually, energetically, and emotionally where the change will "fit" and be welcomed by all parts of you?)
- Am I feeling compelled to be busy all the time? (A symptom of change resistance along with many other things).
- Who desires this change? My heart & soul? Or my ego?
- What must I release in order to make this change?
- Who is served by my staying the same?
That last one is a doozy. The answer may be...you. Or someone you love. Or a client who you've outgrown. Or friendships you don't want to lose but have also grown past.
This is why we resist change!
The answers to these questions should be revealing. You can sit with them if that's what it takes to get that a-ha moment. But if you sit too long, that's procrastination, another sneaky way we resist change.

Reiki is Under Fire in New Jersey: Here's How To Help
Reiki is still (in Kansas) an unlicensed modality—unlike massage. States across the U.S. are continuing their push to regulate this traditional Japanese art & laying-on-of-hands technique that promotes healing.
If you have the time and ability, you can partake in New Jersey's fight to practice Reiki here 👇

I work with busy, gifted people to help them get out of their own way in order to share their gifts with the world.
YOU HAVE AMAZING GIFTS INSIDE YOU THAT NEED TO BE SHARED WITH THE WORLD. BUT—
- You don’t know where or how to begin.
- You fear “what will others think” if you put your unique ideas “out there.”
- You’ve been meaning to start…but something you don’t quite understand keeps holding you back.
- You are anxious about showing up.
- Your inner critic is LOUD.
- It seems everyone is becoming a content creator these days and you want to jump in, but you’re not sure what that looks like for you.
- You’re too busy to show up and indulge your creative mind.
- Your life is too cluttered to make room for your ideas to come forth, leaving you feeling conflicted.
- You have burning ideas in you, but fear they—or you—aren’t “good enough.”
- You don’t think anyone will read, listen to, or watch content if you put it out.
- The thought of posting on social media in order to find and build an audience terrifies you.
I offer life coaching sessions in monthly or 3-month packages.

Who doesn't want a guide to wealth & happiness? If you've never heard of the Almanack of Naval Ravikant, it's got such a cult following that you can refer simply to "Naval," and most people will know who you're talking about.
I'm still diving into the craziness that is social media SEO. That is, if you call helping people to find your content "crazy." If you didn't know, this is a thing.
