I Resent The Tasks I Feel Like “I Have To Do”

When we are working towards a goal there are creative and exciting steps that are a lot of fun. Then there are other steps which aren’t much fun but are necessary. Sometimes it can feel like we are being forced to do something and our resistance to those tasks naturally arises.

Today we are going to tap for the issues that feel like we “have to” do them.

(audio 4m20s)

I know that moving towards my goal takes work…I know moving towards my goal takes effort…I know this effort is going to take time…And sometimes it’s going to be taxing…And there are going to even be steps…Which I really don’t like…There are even going to be steps…Which might be a little painful…And I know I have to do them…And there’s a part of me that’s willing to do them…But as I tune into them…As I note them…And even put these steps in my to-do list…It feels like I’m being told I have to do something…It feels like I’m being forced to do something…Feeling like I have no choice in the matter…I hate it when I have to do something…I hate it when I’m being forced to do something…And anything that I feel like I’m being forced to do…Brings up a part of me that resents it…There’s a part of me that wants to rebel against it…There’s a part of me that feels like it almost wants to lash out at it…And because of this, I just don’t do it…But I recognize as I move towards my goals…No one is making me do this…This is my choice…This is my desire…This is my effort…And even if it feels like it’s something I’m being forced to do…I recognize this is my choice…Yes, I’m choosing things that are unpleasant to do…Because I see how they fit into the big picture…I see how they will lead me towards my goal…I don’t have to do these things…I want to do these things because of what they bring…I want to do these things because they bring them closer to my goal…I choose to do these things because they’re best for me in the long run…I don’t have to…I’m choosing to…Because of what will come about as a result.
