Show Notes
There is a force that opposes every creative and meaningful act. Steven Pressfield calls it Resistance.
In this episode, we explore why you check your phone instead of writing, reorganize your desk instead of making the call, and feel drained only when it's time to do deep work. Resistance isn't random—it's targeted. And it's personal.
Key topics:
- Why Resistance shows up strongest for what matters most
- Steven Pressfield on amateurs vs. professionals
- Resistance as a compass pointing to your soul's evolution
- Why inspiration comes AFTER you start, not before
Today's Practice: Notice where Resistance shows up strongest today. The task you keep pushing to tomorrow. Don't negotiate with it. Sit down and do the work anyway. Five minutes. Once you start, Resistance loses its power.
