Progress Is Made By Action NOT Resistance

5 minutes

Have you ever looked outside at the rain and decided not to go running today? Or made excuses as to why you should not complete a task? Join John Paul today as he talks you through why these excuses are only thought up to make yourself feel better, how you will never regret performing that task or exercise routine and how progress is made by action, not resistance.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

There are always so many excuses why you should not do something. If you are trying to resist a run perhaps it is the weather or you have a small injury. These are all resistance thoughts and you are only making up excuses to make yourself feel better.

You will not regret exercising or performing a task, but you will regret it if you don’t do it. You will feel a huge sense of accomplishment when you complete that task that you did not want to complete.

Resistance is something that we do all the time. The easiest person to lie to is yourself so when you make excuses you are only fooling yourself. These excuses are all things that stop you moving forward.

Every time you give yourself an excuse, ask yourself ‘why am I resisting this?’. It may be because you are failing or doing something wrong. It is better to move forward than stay in the same place because he did not want to show weakness.

BEST MOMENTS

“I have never regretted going out for a run, even in the rain.”

“You feel better for it.”

“Progress is made by action, not resistance.”
