Resistance. The word resistance brings fear and trembling into most writers' hearts, mainly thanks to Stephen Pressfield who told us that we have to fight resistance like warriors if we want to stay on track as writers and authors. But my approach, as you know, is different.

In today's episode I'm going to give you three ways, including the magic mantra of Tina Turner, so you can turn resistance into opportunity.

What is resistance?
"Where there is a dream, there is resistance," says Stephen Pressfield. 

[00:01:20] Resistance is the act of opposing or judging something. It can manifest as fear, doubt, or discomfort.

[00:01:28]  "Resistance cannot be seen, touched, heard, or smelled, but it can be felt. It's a repelling force. Its aim is to shove us away, distract us, prevent us from doing our work."  Stephen Pressfield, The War of Art. 

Resistance especially seeks out those in the creative realm, entrepreneurs, artists, writers, and anyone on a spiritual journey or a [00:02:00] health path.
 
So how to break free? There are two ways that I know and will share with you in this episode:

1.  Either disaster strikes or 

2.  You explore "the inner path".

I tell two stories that demonstrate "disaster strikes" as a pathway to opportunity.
Then I offer 3 ways I recommend to break free from Resistance by following the "inner path" instead:

1. Letting Go with David Hawkins
2. Tina Turner's Magic Mantra for chanting (that's me chanting it in the background while describing it)
3. Internal Family Systems (IFS): No Bad Parts because our higher Self will orchestrate our wholeness.

IFS is a featured chapter from my upcoming new book for writers and authors: "Bust Writer's Block Forever, Seven Game-Changing ways for Writers, Authors, to Kiss Writer's Block Good-Bye and Unleash Creative Inspiration." The book also has a bonus chapter on ChatGPT Your Creative Catalyst.
