Fighting Resistance - Part 2

Last week we started off our discussion of resistance - a term that I got from Steven Pressfield's book, the War of Art.

While there are parts of the book that aren't that ADHD friendly, I do like this idea of resistance. And basically resistance is what is keeping us from doing our work. It's procrastination, rationalizations, comparison, perfectionism, and everything else that keeps us from working all rolled into one idea. It is the embodiment of the "I don't wanna's

In part one I talked about some of the ways resistance keeps us from starting, how comparing ourselves to others slows us down, and what we crave and what we need to grow don't always match.

Today we're going to keep exploring the idea of resistance. We'll be looking at ways we can work on overcoming resistance by planning, setting our intentions, and even calling in a little help.

This Episode's Top Tips

  1. Our first step in fighting resistance is accepting that we are always going to be facing resistance. Resistance wants us to believe it doesn't exist because when we don't believe we don't do anything to stop it.
  2. Planning is a critical part of overcoming resistance. Without a plan, it is easy for us to get off track and not even realize it.
  3. When we're creating our plan it also important to break down our tasks into their component parts so that we are able to clearly state our intentions when we start our work.
  4. We don't have to fight resistance alone, by enlisting the help of our accountabilibuddies we can get clear on our intentions and help strengthen our resilience in fighting resistance.
