resistance.

Steven Pressfield’s book The War of Art has been one of my favorites for years. He talks a ton about “resistance” that thing that prevents us from doing the shit we need to do. In short, we have to fight the resistance. It’s a beautiful message.

In my workout today, the trainer said something along the lines of thanking your weights for the resistance and it got me thinking.

It’s not that resistance is completely bad. It can be very good - even that kind that prevents us doing the shit we’re supposed to be doing because the more we fight it, the more we get strength. So, the next time that urge comes to not do the thing you know you should do, view it as an amazing opportunity to get stronger.
