Stop Pretending You Don’t Like It (transcript)
Breathe in and raise your vibration!
Breathe out and release your resistance!

Breathe in and raise your vibration!
Breathe out and release your resistance!

Relax your body.

Breathe in and open up to receiving.
Breathe out and let your thoughts go.

Only your thoughts can make you feel bad. In the present moment, there are no thoughts. Let yourself relax and enjoy this moment.

Breathe in and lighten up! It’s not serious!
Breathe out and smile! Because it’s really not serious.

Remind yourself that having is evidence of wanting. This gem of a phrase from Carolyn Elliott helps us remember that whatever is in our reality, we did manifest it. And even if we don’t like it consciously, there’s a part of us that does love it.

Breathe in and wake up in the dream!
Breathe out and let go of your resistance!

Having is evidence of wanting. Next time you’re in a situation where you don’t like what’s going on, say to yourself, “I’m going to stop pretending that I don’t like this situation. I’m giving myself permission to enjoy this situation.”

Breathe in and stop pretending you don’t like it!
Breathe out and give yourself permission to enjoy the things you don’t consciously like.

You’re creating them, because a part of you unconsciously loves it. There’s a part of you that wants the drama. There’s a part of you that wants the death. There’s a part of you that wants the disease. We came here to experience it all. All the way up and down the spectrum. We wanted to live it all.

Breathe in and welcome and embrace it all!
Breathe out and know that everything is perfect and in its place.

Whatever you’re going through, see if you can look from a new perspective, where you stop pretending you don’t enjoy the things you don’t like, and you give yourself permission to enjoy them. And when you give yourself permission to enjoy the dark parts of life, the death, the disease, the brokeness, the drama—when you give yourself permission to enjoy all that, you give all of those dark things permission to move on, to flow on. You let go.

Breathe in and make friends with your shadow self.
Breathe out and let yourself enjoy the darkness.

Here’s an example. My 18-year-old cat has been ill. And there were months where we had to clean up after her messes. And in the last few weeks, I would say, “I’m going to stop pretending I don’t like cleaning up shit. I give myself permission to enjoy cleaning up shit.” And something shifted for me then and I didn’t resent it so much. And then on January 17, 2021, my 18-year-old cat Pwny died. And I didn’t have to clean up her shit anymore.

And it was a lesson that having is evidence of wanting. And I would rather be cleaning up her shit than have her be dead! But now she’s no longer suffering and by accepting my circumstances I allowed them to flow away from me much more quickly that I expected. The shitty situation was over like that.

Breathe in and say yes to what is!
Breathe out and give yourself permission to enjoy it all. Because it’s not always going to be like this.

And whatever you have, you’ll miss it when it’s gone, because having is evidence of wanting.

Breathe in and just enjoy what is right now.
Breathe out and just say thank you for what is.

What we have right now is perfect. It’s all working out. It’s not serious. And if there’s something that’s bothering you, give yourself permission to enjoy it, because before you know it, it will be gone.

Breathe in and stop pretending you don’t like it.
Breathe out and give yourself permission to enjoy your life exactly the way it is!
