Another rough night of restless sleep and I am beat! The pain in my thigh is just about intolerable. I was right when I said, "I'm gonna pay for this."
Ashara heads out for her morning walk and stop at Starbucks.
I take a couple of pills to relieve the pain, apply more balm and as comfortably as possible lay down to contemplate and meditate with the intention of relieving the pain.
My routine is to listen to meditation music combined with spoken word. My favorites are:
Abraham-Hicks Guided Meditations
John Assaraf Neural Reconditioning
As I begin to drift off to sleep listening to the meditations, I quickly become aware that I am in alpha state. This is an optimum state to open up to whatever comes next.
Part of the Abraham-Hicks meditations speaks about 'releasing resistance' to whatever I'm resisting which keeps me from moving forward to attain my goals.
The meditation leads me to feel how comparing myself to Nick [and every other professional photographer] is a form of resistance in myself and my photography. I also see how this affects my art by blocking energetic creativity.

I feel into the resistance and slowly allow that to release. By the time my meditation is complete my thigh feels much better and I am ready to go out for a walk.
By the end of the day I am walking much easier and my thigh is only mildly sore.
Resistance is futile!
