Today’s Miracle Moment Is About How to Open to What You Resist…
What is that difficult thing that you know you need to do, but you’ve been resisting it or putting it off? Maybe it’s a conversation you need to have or overdue paperwork you need to handle or any looming task on your to-do list that’s hovering over you. Whatever it is, it’s something that the thought of doing gives you a sunken feeling.
All of the big or small things that you’re putting off doing take up space in your life energetically. What you resist tends to persist.
Your resistances can end up as a pile of incompletions that are actually weighing you down and taking up your energy. To create more space for miracles to flow, you need to handle incompletions and the things you’re resisting.
So how can you get yourself to do that thing you’re resisting? Many productivity experts say that the best way to handle this is to start your day doing the most difficult task first. By doing that thing you’re avoiding, you can lift that feeling of overwhelm from your shoulders.
Brian Tracy calls it “eating the frog.” This comes from a Mark Twain quote where he said, “If the first thing you do every morning is to eat a live frog, then you can go through the day with the satisfaction of knowing that that’s probably the worst thing that’s gonna happen to you during the day.”
I actually need to change that analogy since I’m a vegetarian! But the idea being is that you start with a difficult task first.
And it’s not just beneficial for that one thing on your list. Research has shown that when you complete a difficult task, it triggers the release of endorphins in your brain and it gives you a natural high that’ll last for hours. And that energy can carry you through your day and you can put it towards the other important things in your life.
You can actually develop a positive addiction to these endorphins, and that’s going to make you want to go after the harder things first so that you get that endorphin high.
So let’s take this a step further and bring some miracles energy in to help you to face what you’re resisting.
Let’s do a short process together that will support some of those deeper fears or worries about whatever it is you’re avoiding to dissipate:
- Start by getting in your body. Feel your feet on the ground and your body in the chair or wherever you’re watching or listening to this from. Imagine a chord going all the way down from your base chakra connecting you to the earth, and another chord going from your crown all the way to the heavens. Feel your physical body deeply rooted and supported by Mother Earth, and your spirit supported by your guides or your angel team and the celestial realms. And put your hand on your heart, and take a couple deep breaths in and out.
- Next I invite you to explore your answers to the following questions.
-
- What am I resisting?
- What am I afraid will happen if I handle this?
- What is a new, empowering Miracle Affirmation I could give myself about this situation? Maybe: I can do this. Or: I have the capacity to figure out how to handle this situation. Or: I trust that I’m supported by the Universe no matter what.
- Now, imagine that you’ve faced what you’re resisting, and it goes very well. How do you feel after completing this? Maybe deep relief, ease, and gratitude. Now that you’ve moved the stagnant energy, there’s greater space for miracles to flow.
- Finally, imagine going through your day with more energy to put towards everything that’s important to you. Feel the lightness you feel now that what you’ve been resisting is off of your shoulders.
And now, from this energy, I invite you to go forward with your day. Start checking off those incompletions and make it a practice to do what you’re resisting.
And I’ll leave you with a quote from the past president of the American Institute of Psychoanalysis. His name was Theodore Isaac Rubin, and he says, “Happiness does not come from doing easy work, but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes from the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.”
I’m wishing you a week where you courageously face those things you’ve been putting off and feel the weight lifted off your shoulders, and have more space for miracles! I send you love.
Dearest Marci ,

SO GLAD TO KNOW YOU FOUND THIS MIRACLE MOMENT INSIGHTFUL
This was very helpful and timely. What a simple and loving process to handling resistance. Thank you.
Hi Rana,
Hope you use this process to guide you through your miraculous journey every time you feel resistance.
Thank you for this. On my way to tackle a room that has been forgotten for over 12 years since the death of my mom.
Blessings to you.
I can imagine it to be a tough task, Marcia! Take things slow and don’t be too hard on yourself as you go through the process. More miracles to you.
Seems I have several things big things— huge things that are unfinished and the one I’m going to tackle today is to create several videos about the chapters of my upcoming memoir which is going to be published this year and launched in September.
The title is: Luminous touch: Awakening to Sensuality in Everyday Life.
Thank you so much Marci for your precious time in doing these.
That sounds wonderful, Ruthie! Take those tasks head on and get things going your way. Sending you all the good energy and success for a smooth launch.
This was very helpful as I put things off, okay, procrastinate getting reports done, or when asked to contribute my ideas, I hold back, due to thinking I grew up with, “will it be good enough.” The questions were good for me to hear and to challenge myself to positive response, “I am good enough” to share my insights.” Thank you, Blessings, DebbieS 🤗
Yes, Debbie! That’s the spirit. Listen to your higher self and open up to whatever you’re resisting because you are enough. Much love!
Thank you Marci!!
You’re welcome, Colleen! Hope this helps you in your miraculous journey.
Thank you for Marci, I have been in a difficult, controlling relationship, at a distance, we didn’t ever live together for 23 years. I finally called time on it today. There had been no respect between us for years.
I am 70 now and need more in my life .
Hi Victoria,
That’s amazing that you listened inwards and took this empowering step! You are creating greater space for the miracles to flow in to your life. I wish you all the good energy the Universe has to offer for whatever comes next for you.
Whoa, you are truly the Universe speaking DIRECTLY to ME today, Marci!
I’ve become almost paralyzed by having so much on my plate lately. I love the humorous visual and simple guidance of this tool of “eating the frog” first thing in the morning. Love and gratitude to you Marci, and to the inimitable Mark Twain❣️😊❣️
Hi Jillian,
Thank you so much for your kind words. You’re so sweet. I am glad that you found this Miracle Moment insightful and I hope it guided you in your journey to living more in the Miracle Zone.
Much love!
This was succinct yet gave my spirit wide berth – a beautiful and powerful talk! Thank you so much much
Thank you for sharing your experience with today’s Miracle Moment in those beautiful words, Rosemary! More miracles to you.
A very helpful meditation, as I’ve been trying to “light a fire under my butt” to promote and advance my Life Coaching business and allowing too many roadblocks to get in my way.
Hi Ronne,
I hope this Miracle Moment helped you feel empowered to get through those tasks that are holding you back from advancing your business. More miracles to you!
This came right on time! Thank you so much for this process Marci. It was very telling for me!
Hi Sharon,
I am happy to know this process was useful to you. Please refer to it whenever you need the guidance again. More miracles to you!
thanks Marci for being a helper to the humanity especially when we are dealing with the resistance and and piling up blocks to our progress God bless
Thank you for those kind words, Rajan! Much love.
Exactly the message I needed today! I have a huge endeavor I’m in the middle of and have progressed to a certain point but have been stuck for some time at the marketing message stage. What I got in the meditation is that people are waiting for the information I have to give, they are hungry for it.
That’s an amazing meditation breakthrough, Joie! Hope you achieve all the success and experience miraculous results in your this endeavor!
A ‘keeper’ for sure! Thank you for the divine inspiration & love
you send out to all of us & for uplifting the planet in doing so.
Much love , light & happiness!
Thank you for those kind words, Kirin! More miracles to you.
