In this episode we dive deep into the theme of resistance and self-judgment, exploring how encountering inner blocks is part of the growth process when stepping outside our comfort zone. I unpack the idea that resistance doesn’t mean something’s gone wrong; rather, it’s normal and is in fact an opportunity to move with compassion and curiosity through the things that hold us back. Together, we’ll reflect on how to acknowledge and soften self-criticism, assess what we need to move forward, and learn from powerful moments of self-discovery without judgment.
Ever wondered how to transform criticism into a source of empowerment? We'll discover the art of building a resilient mindset as we explore how to detach from others’ opinions without letting them define you and reclaim your own personal power. Learn how to relish in the energy that resistance brings, turning it into a dance of love and passion. Uncover the freedom that comes with not taking things personally and rise above the storm with grace and resilience. This episode promises to guide you through the storm, helping you dance in the rain and embrace your true potential.
Join me as we delve into these tools to help you hold compassion for yourself, navigate resistance with ease, and develop the freedom to thrive on your unique journey.

Ready to unlock your full potential, join me,
Gregg Berman.
Your guide to self-discovery,self-acceptance and joy.
This podcast blends lifecoaching, mindfulness and the
power of nature to help youmanage anxiety, cultivate
self-compassion and embrace yourtrue self.
Compassion and embrace yourtrue self.
(00:26):
Along the way, we'll embracethe imperfection, fallibility
and messiness of what it meansto be a human with love, care
and acceptance for all of whoyou are.
This is your sanctuary for amore mindful, authentic and
fulfilling life.
Let's embark on this journeytogether as we give you
(00:46):
permission to be your full self.
In the last episode, I sharedwith you a struggle I'm
currently navigating and how I'mmoving through it.
The message I wanted you toreceive is it's okay to have
struggles, it's okay to not haveall the answers or to have
(01:07):
inner blocks holding you back.
It can be so easy to judgeourselves when we feel we don't
have it all figured out butnobody has it all figured out
and when we hold ourselves withcompassion, it makes the journey
to achieving our desires thatmuch more easeful, even if and
(01:27):
when we inevitably stumble alongthe way.
In a business meeting I was inearlier today, I heard one of
the coaches tell anotherparticipant that was dealing
with their own blocks andresistance.
If you don't feel resistance,then you are not pushing hard
enough.
I totally understand how thatcan sound like a very
(01:50):
masculine-centric model, thoughI don't think the meaning was
that we must always be pushing,but rather the fact that it is
normal for resistance to come up.
It's part of the growth processwhen we are doing something
outside our comfort zone.
That does not mean it is arequirement that we have
resistance, but rather we don'thave to judge ourselves for
(02:13):
having it or assume something iswrong simply because we feel
resistance.
Instead, we can know andacknowledge it is normal.
It's a part of the process.
We can know and acknowledge itis normal.
It's a part of the process.
Then we can explore the placesinside ourselves that need more
compassion and understanding, aswe also assess what resources
(02:35):
we need to move forward.
Another way of saying the samething is the quote where there
is resistance, there is energy.
Where there is energy, there ispower.
Where there is power, there islove by Dr Randolph Stone,
founder of Polarity Therapy.
What I take from that quote isif we just did not care about
(03:01):
something, there would not beresistance.
But when we feel passionateabout something, when we feel
care for that thing.
It can feel scary to movetowards it and it activates our
not enough stories.
For me, it feels valuable inthose moments of resistance to
remind myself of the love andpassion that created the
(03:22):
resistance, because that iswhere our power lies.
It reminds me of another quoteLife is not about waiting for
the storm to pass.
It's about learning to dance inthe rain, by author Vivian
Green.
In a future episode, I'll sharemore about how I've been
(03:42):
learning to dance in the rain.
For today, I'd like to sharewith you a post I created for my
blog on December 25, 2023, oncreating a resilient mind by not
taking others' words or actionsas personal affronts.
So away we go as personalaffronts, so away we go.
(04:08):
A resilient mindset the freedomto stop taking things
personally and start thriving.
Do you ever feel shame, angeror discomfort based on the words
or actions of others?
Criticism, negative feedback,feeling we are being made fun of
or even merely not being likedby someone can all feel like
(04:29):
arrows aimed directly at ourhearts.
When we take things personally,we often feel attacked and
diminish ourselves.
Often, this comes from thesubconscious belief that if I
harm myself first, it's going tohurt less.
When others quote try to harmme, it's as if you release your
(04:52):
own personal fears and judgmentsto run free in your mind.
However, the key to feelingmore peace, joy and happiness
lies in developing a bulletproofmindset that allows you to rise
above personalization.
It's what Peter Sage defines asswimming in goop, or the good
(05:14):
opinion of other people.
When we allow others' commentsto define our truth, our
greatness or even ourin-the-moment emotions, we are
giving them power that does notbelong to them.
This can take many forms.
Here are just a few.
Fear of embarrassment we can allrelate to the feeling of being
(05:38):
embarrassed, but the impact thatthat embarrassment has on us
can be quite varied.
Many years ago, my girlfriendand live together partner used
to enjoy hiding in her home andtrying to scare me.
Whenever she was successful, Iallowed it to sour my mood
(05:58):
because in my mood, because inmy head, I equated falling for
her joke as a personal failure,conscious and unconscious
stories of I should not be soeasily startled or I must look
ridiculous, and so many moreuncomfortable thoughts entered
my head.
So I often became upset because, after all, anger is the
(06:23):
emotion of self-preservation andin this case, getting upset
with her was an unconscious wayof my psyche fighting back
against my perceived attacker,even though I knew this was
someone who loved me.
Another option I chose was toput a great deal of energy into
(06:43):
hiding my discomfort, because myinternal less-than stories and
fears did not want anyone tohave the proof that I was as
inadequate as I felt.
I certainly didn't want someonewho mattered a great deal to me
thinking that, even though thereality is she was just trying
to be playful and not thinkingless of me at all.
(07:04):
Years later, seeing videos onYouTube of people playing
practical jokes on their friendsand co-workers so many of those
people responded in a similarmanner to me because of their
own insecurities and versions ofnot enough stories.
It created discomfort for them.
But there was one type ofresponse that really shocked me.
(07:27):
Some people, after theirinitial surprise or
embarrassment, actually found itfunny.
Can you believe they actuallylaughed along with the joke what
?
How the hell is that evenpossible?
I just didn't get it.
I was surprised because in mymind I did not even know such a
(07:49):
response was on the list ofpossibilities.
But seeing people actuallyhaving a good time and enjoying
the humor, and not only nottaking it as a personal attack,
but even being playful with it,was a revelation to me.
It gave me a new possibilityfor a new and more empowered
(08:10):
experience, rather than seeingit as a source of disconnection
and proof that I'm not enough.
What if, instead, I could seeplayful teasing and
embarrassment as an experiencewhere I felt a sense of
inclusion, camaraderie and joy,maybe even love, that someone
(08:31):
felt comfort enough to be withme in that way?
That was certainly what I wasseeing on some of those YouTube
videos and it was honestlymind-blowing.
And it was honestlymind-blowing and it offered
insight into a much moreempowering and nurturing
experience, rather than theexperience of exclusion, anger,
(08:52):
frustration and less than that Ihad been creating for myself by
my previous ingrained reactionRealizing if I don't make myself
small, others won't make mesmall either.
In fact, they can't.
Learning I could even enjoy theexperience was revelatory.
(09:18):
Certainly, there are times whensomeone's behavior does not work
for you and you may want to seta boundary, but even that can
be done from a place ofempowerment and strength, rather
than self-deprecation andvictimhood, as used to be the
case for me.
It can be done from a place ofsharing feedback about what
feels good to you, versus beingdefensive because a part of you
(09:41):
feels attacked.
Now let's talk about receivingnegative feedback.
It can certainly beuncomfortable to receive
negative feedback, especially ifit is not what we hoped or
expected to hear, but it doesnot have to be a traumatic
experience.
Taking things personally oftenstems from a deep-rooted
(10:06):
emotional response based on ourpersonal history.
Simply noticing andacknowledging this fact is the
first step to freedom.
Recognize that externalopinions don't define your worth
or your capabilities.
Instead, we have theopportunity to view criticism as
(10:27):
an opportunity for growth andself-improvement.
We can take in what feelsvaluable and leave the rest.
In some cases, that's enough.
Other times just in the exampleabove sometimes it might be
valuable, whether in that momentor at another time, to let
(10:47):
someone know the best way toshare feedback so you can most
easily receive it.
Another personal experience ofmine was at a week-long retreat
on love and connection Iattended about 10 years ago.
A woman shared with me in anexercise a noticing she was
having.
She shared, greg.
(11:08):
I notice every time we talk, Iask you lots about you and you
don't ask me anything about me.
It was super uncomfortable tohear that, because I've always
deeply cared about others andthe thought that I was not
offering someone the opportunityto share themselves or, worse,
that I might be seen asself-centered or uncaring, was
(11:30):
painful.
At the same time, it was reallygreat and valuable information.
I thought about what she sharednearly every day for years with
the desire to be better.
What I realized was, given myhistory of what I phrase as
pathological shyness, in spiteof caring about others and their
(11:53):
experience, when I was in frontof them, there was a loud voice
in my head going Am I okay?
Am I okay?
Do they like me?
Am I doing it right?
Am I okay?
Am I okay?
Do they like me?
Am I doing it right?
Am I okay?
Am I okay?
Those thoughts were so loud,both consciously and
unconsciously, that it did notallow me to connect in the ways
(12:15):
I most deeply desired.
Receiving that feedback, I couldhave gotten angry and retorted,
or I could have retreated in onmyself, making myself small and
using it as proof of my doingit wrong and simply beat myself
up.
Honestly, there likely was someself-recrimination and, at the
(12:39):
same time, I used that feedbackas the catalyst to support me in
something I deeply wanted.
I'm so thankful I chose to takein that feedback despite my
initial discomfort, becausethese days I'm acknowledged both
by friends and clients for thegreat questions I ask for, the
ways I listen and how I makethem feel seen, heard, safe and
(13:03):
cared for.
I no longer have to ask myselfif I'm doing okay, because
through lots of inner and outerwork, I've developed a trust
that I am, I've developed thetools to check in if and when
miscommunications do happen andI've developed the relationships
that I can turn to for supportif the sting of some feedback I
(13:26):
received is momentarily too muchto handle on my own.
So how do we shift ourperspective To build a
bulletproof mindset?
It's helpful to reframe yourperspective by noticing the
intent with which the feedbackwas offered.
(13:46):
Was it with the desire to causeyou pain or discredit you?
If so, understand that kind ofcriticism says more about the
person delivering it than itdoes about you.
Says more about the persondelivering it than it does about
you.
Often your natural defenses mayshow up, even when the intent
(14:09):
was to be informative andsupportive, regardless of how
the message was delivered.
However, when you can embrace agrowth mindset, you begin to
see these otherwise painfulexperiences as chances to learn
and improve.
You can ask yourself what newinsights can I learn here?
Or perhaps you decide thecritique, however
(14:33):
well-intentioned, does notresonate for you.
Either way, when you see thisas simply information and even a
desire to be supportive, youare choosing not to make
yourself wrong.
This shift will empower you toapproach situations with
resilience and curiosity ratherthan defensiveness.
(14:57):
Self-compassion is anotherimportant step.
When you find yourself takingthings personally, be
compassionate with yourself.
Self-compassion is anotherimportant step.
When you find yourself takingthings personally, be
compassionate with yourself.
Extend the same kindness toyourself that you would offer a
friend.
Recognize that everyone makesmistakes and experiences
(15:20):
setbacks.
Self-compassion allows you toview yourself through a lens of
understanding and forgiveness,making it easier to detach from
personalizing external opinionsor from further attacking or
wronging yourself.
I've created a video meditationon self-compassion that I'm
going to try to include in theshow notes.
Honestly, since tech is not mystrong suit, I can't guarantee
(15:45):
that it's going to be there, butif not, you can definitely find
the link in the article on mywebsite blog for December 25th
2023.
Or you can go directly to myYouTube channel and search for
EFT for self-compassion.
(16:10):
So, rather than taking criticismas a personal attack, we have
the option to treat it asvaluable feedback.
We can assess the constructiveelements within it and use them
as stepping stones forimprovement.
Everything else you can leavebehind, and if there are ways
you most prefer to receivefeedback again, you can let the
other person know.
This proactive approach notonly diffuses personalization,
(16:33):
but also propels you towardcontinuous growth.
Developing a bulletproofmindset is a transformative
journey that requiresself-awareness, resilience and a
commitment to personal growth.
It takes time to develop, socelebrate each small success
along the way.
Shifting perspectives,cultivating self-compassion,
(17:01):
setting healthy boundaries andembracing feedback.
You can stop taking thingspersonally and embark on a path
to thriving in every aspect ofyour life.
Remember the power to create aresilient mindset lies within
you.
Thank you for joining me on myjourney.
(17:22):
I'm honored that you havechosen to be here and let me
share with you.
I hope what I share isnourishing and valuable for you.
I hope it offers you someinsight into your own patterns,
whether they are similar or evenif they are wildly different
from my own.
(17:42):

taking away or even whatquestions it brings up for you.
Let's give each otherpermission to be our full selves
, both the amazing and the messythat resides in us all, and
please share this far and wide.
