Description

Let’s have a look at the things that can be limiting you moving forward, being positive, happy, grateful and being the best version of yourself. You might not have looked at life in this way, but many of us, if not all of us, are following the path of least resistance. This means that you choose to do what holds the least fear for you, you might be saying now, “I don't feel fear” or “I am fearless”, which may be the case. But beneath the surface is the more complex and primitive parts of our mind that operate on a different level to our conscious mind and sometimes we just haven’t stopped to see it this way.

The path of least resistance is a concept which is often used to describe why something, or someone takes a given path, it is also used to describe certain human behaviours and habits. In these cases, resistance is often used as a metaphor for personal effort or confrontation; a person taking the path of least resistance avoids these. Here is an example, the water always flows downhill, regardless of whether it is briefly flowing uphill in the process to gain a lower final altitude of the downhill flow. For many of us, we are all doing the same, following the easiest path in life, which may be fine for us, or it might be limiting our lives, or worst still it could be triggering anxiety and panic within us.
