Steven Pressfield says:

Most of us have two lives. The life we live, and the unlived life within us. Between the two stands Resistance. Have you ever brought home a treadmill and let it gather dust in the attic? Ever quit a diet, a course of yoga, a meditation practice? Have you ever bailed out on a call to embark upon a spiritual practice, dedicate yourself to a humanitarian calling, commit your life to the service of others? Have you ever wanted to be a mother, a doctor, an advocate for the weak and helpless; to run for office, crusade for the planet, campaign for world peace, or to preserve the environment? Late at night have you experienced a vision of the person you might become, the work you could accomplish, the realized being you were meant to be? Are you a writer who doesn’t write, a painter who doesn’t paint, an entrepreneur who never starts a venture? Then you know what Resistance is.

I'm experiencing Resistance in a big way right now and in this episode I share with you what this looks like for me. The Five Big Tools that it uses to catch me out:

Rationalisation

Criticism

Identity

Impatience

Fear

No one forces us to show up to make the change we want make. If I chose to give the podcast a miss this week I wouldn’t be punished. No one would haul me into a disciplinary meeting. Nothing would happen… And that’s the point.
