Don’t Let Resistance Hold You Back: Tips for Pushing Through

by | 17 Apr 2023

When resistance shows up …

 

I committed to writing and publishing daily, initially for six weeks.

 

I want to do this to

  1. find like-minded people who are interested in the topics that interest me (give me a follow if you are)
  2. learn how to write to keep someone’s attention (improve my copywriting skills)
  3. help me articulate my ideas better
  4. get over myself and share my thoughts publicly
  5. open myself to new possibilities and opportunities I have no idea of yet

 

This morning I didn’t know what to write about.

 

I noticed all kinds of objections and reasons why my commitment to writing was a bad idea and why I should give up. Without fail, every time I want to make a change, I come up against this wall of my inner resistance.

 

My resistance can become really strong – like a two-year-old throwing a temper tantrum and refusing to budge, hell-bent on keeping the status quo and sabotaging me in my effort to change. Can you relate?

 

I have become accustomed to experiencing this resistance. Given that resistance is nothing but a bundle of emotions, I’ve regularly used emotional processing techniques to ease the way towards the change I want.

 

This week I’ll write about emotional processing that helps me overcome this resistance to change.
