What are you sad about? Don't be fooled by the brightness of this color. It's actually kind of a 'sad' color. And it's asking the question, 'what are you sad about?' It's asking you to look inside yourself and be honest about how you really feel. Cause there is sadness, and a whole lot of it. And it's everywhere inside you. You just have to look and you'll see it. But, there is a LOT of resistance. As in, just not wanting to look. Not wanting to see. It's like this WALL of just resistance. Like feeling tired, feeling lethargic, not being quite focused, feeling heavy. Not knowing what to do with yourself, not knowing where to look or what to see, feeling quite confused. Feeling kind of 'out of sorts' and not very grounded within yourself.

It's almost like putting yourself in this roller-coaster ride inside yourself and being tumbled around until you don't know what's up or down or left or right anymore. Until you almost don't know who or where you are anymore. You see, aaaaall of that - all of those experiences - is actually 'resistance'. And it's importance to know what resistance is, so that you can spot it within yourself. So that you can work with it, and not get lost in it. So that it becomes easier to see inside of yourself. So that there's more 'clarity'. Not just a whole mess of experiences that you don't know what to do with and don't know how to direct. Cause resistance can be a pain in the butt lol. So you want to be pretty directive with it. Nip it in the bud basically. Cause it'll really do a number on you if you don't know what you're dealing with. If you can't be like, 'oh this is just resistance'.

So how do you tell that you're dealing with resistance? Pretty much ANY time when you're about to change something about yourself or are trying to do anything that is supportive for you. Anytime you're trying to look at anything that's relevant inside yourself. There will be resistance. So whenever you find yourself struggling when it comes to walking your process, you're probably just dealing with resistance. So in that instance you want to just stop what you're doing for a moment and instead of trying to force it or force your way through the resistance, rather embrace it and don't fight it. When it comes to resistance, you want to take it really slow, and not force anything. It's almost like quicksand. The more you struggle and fight, the deeper you're going to sink into it. So give yourself a moment to collect yourself and assess what's going on. 

Get the resistance out of the way first, and then you can go back to focusing on what you were working on. Get to know the resistance first, cause that'll always be the first reaction of the mind. A 'fail-safe' if you will, to prevent your being from changing in any way. So you always want to look out for that. And you can be sure that anytime you're having a really hard time concentrating or focusing on something, it's your mind throwing in its defense mechanisms because you're actually on to something and it doesn't want you to change. So it'll basically just make it EXTRA hard for you to get anything done.

It's useful to learn to notice these mechanisms in the mind, to understand that often it's not so much the point or issue that we're working with that's difficult or hard but that it's this point of resistance in the mind that's more creating the illusion of things being really hard. Making you think that you're not able to get through something or figure something out. While, all that resistance is showing you is that you're on to something, and that you should trust yourself and keep going. Don't be thrown off by the resistance, you're on the right track. If anything, use the resistance as a guideline. Where, the more resistance, the more it means that whatever you're working on may support you to change. So don't be discouraged. You're clearly doing something right if you're facing massive resistance and you more just need to trust yourself. I know that resistance can be tough sometimes to deal with, but as I said it's just a matter of getting to know it so you can recognize it in the future and see it for what it is, as just the mind being scared basically that you will change lol.
