Untying Knots to Get What You Want | Good Vibe Blog

Anyone who’s ever struggled with a string of tangled Christmas lights or a mess of chains in the jewelry box knows from experience that we don’t untie knots by pulling on loose ends.

(Not saying we’ve never done that, but we know how ineffective it is!)

It’s the same with creating what we want in life.

We don’t get where we want to be by producing more tension.

The same way tugging and pulling on the ends doesn’t untie a knot, neither does:

  • Working harder to get clients for your business when you’re nervous about not getting clients.  Operating from fear or desperation just makes it worse.
  • Arguing with a sweetheart when you want a better relationship.  We want things to improve, but raised voices and angry gestures don’t usually facilitate that.
  • Beating up your body to get a body you love.  Unreasonably restrictive diets and exhaustive workout sessions just adds tension (i.e. “resistance”).
