“Overwhelm is a lack of commitment to your vision.”
“Overwhelm is a misperception of abundance.”

I am leading a 21-Day Abundance challenge right now. I started with 88 people in the group. Five days into it, only 15 people remain. I am so curious to see who will complete the challenge. I already know which category of society they belong to - the top 5%, baby... possibly even the top 1%. Aaawwww yeah!
I also know that I am one of the top 1%-5% of the world. I am honored to be in such a prestigious category. I’ve been through a lot to become (and recognize) that I am one of those top few who achieve things even when life tries to get in my way.
Know how I know I am a top 5-percenter? I know this because, despite my gypsy personality and my numerology report (which includes four “5’s”), I have three university degrees, at least seven different accredited education certifications, countless (literally 1,000’s of) volunteer service hours, and oodles of devotion to my career/business. I achieved these things under sometimes extreme circumstances - - family member addictions, single parenting, suicides (yes, plural), abuse, extreme relationship changes (yes, plural), dire financial struggles, date rape, deaths (yes, plural) in my immediate circle of influence, and... (honestly) I could go on and on.
As Jack Canfield said in the movie The Secret, “That’s just, ‘So what’!”
What’s your excuse?
I know a few more folks in my challenge group are contemplating continuing (or quitting)... possibly working through their desire to stop. The journey is an individual one. No judgment! (Honestly!)
As the leader of this journey, my natural tendency is to point out all the reasons they should stick it out. I wanted to acknowledge how far each of them had already come, and how much they had already shifted their abundance mindset. I also desperately wanted to give a loving nudge to push past what I know to be a temporary discomfort/block (aka resistance) to get them into the zone. But, alas, it is not my place to lead from behind... pushing my would-be nudgees to shift their perception of overwhelm to the place of peace I know exists for them.
I tend to think of these (however many days) self-reflection challenges like running a marathon. There’s a “start” to the run, there’s getting past the hump of (pain) “resistance”, and there’s entering the “zone” (vortex).
The zone (known to my favorite mentors as the vortex) is where the magic happens!
I wanted to tell them: Regardless of which stage you choose to complete, know your decision is fully supported (by the Universe/God/Source) as utterly fabulous and ultimately divine. I also wanted to remind them to pay attention to where the resistance is coming up for them, as it is likely the same place it comes up for them when trying to do anything new/unfamiliar. It is free will, and it remains a self-fulfilling prophecy until we push past it.
I didn’t post this to their journey because it’s really none of my business! I am simply holding space for them as they experience whatever they are ready to experience. And, I am honored to hold that space for them. In fact, being entrusted for holding that space gives me warm fuzzies all over!
Unsolicited advice is the junk mail of life. It is more about the needs of the giver than of the receiver. Besides, one cannot lead the pack from behind it!
However, if any of them were paying me to coach them on their journey, I would definitely be forthcoming because that’s literally what you’re paying a transformation coach to do - point out things you are unable to see for yourself so you can get to your desired destination faster.
So, for now, my lips are sealed!
Do you have any “in the zone” stories to tell? How did you get past your resistance? Where could you have used help to move yourself along faster? Any other pertinent suggestions?
Here’s wishing you and yours a blessed and beautifully supported day! 💞
Warmly,
Jamie Allen Bishop, MA
