Do It Scared® with Ruth Soukup

The Crazy Ways We Self-Sabotage (And How to Fix It in 10 Minutes)


Listen Later

Let’s talk about the invisible force that’s keeping you stuck—even when you know exactly what you want.

In this episode, I’m sharing two real-life stories of resistance from just this past week: one about booking a simple flight to see my mom, and another about restarting this podcast. In both cases, the task should have been easy. But resistance showed up in sneaky, subtle ways—procrastination, avoidance, guilt, shame—and almost kept me from taking action.

The truth? Resistance isn’t proof you’re lazy. It’s proof you’re about to grow. And when you know how to repair it instead of letting it run the show, everything changes.

You’ll walk away with my exact 10-minute Resistance Repair framework that you can use right now to stop self-sabotaging and start moving forward—fast.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Why resistance always shows up before your next breakthrough
  • How self-sabotage disguises itself as procrastination, perfectionism, and "reasonable" excuses
  • A step-by-step framework to repair resistance in 10 minutes or less
  • The one thought shift that can break the spiral of avoidance
  • How to take back your momentum before the year ends

Key Quotes:

  • “Resistance isn’t proof you’re lazy. It’s proof you’re about to grow.”
  • “You don’t need more motivation—you just need to fix the thought that’s keeping you stuck.”
  • “You can’t take action when your brain is stuck in shame. You have to lead it somewhere new.”
  • “The goal isn’t to eliminate resistance. It’s to recognize it faster and move through it smarter.”
