When you set out to do something meaningful, distractions arise. Suddenly, reorganizing the junk drawer, researching new supplements, or learning about kangaroo development becomes urgent. The instant we prepare to stretch ourselves, productivity flares up everywhere except where it truly matters.
That’s resistance. And it’s sneaky. It doesn’t always show up as fear; sometimes it masquerades as productivity—color-coding your pantry before you open your laptop counts. Other times, it takes on a spiritual or strategic tone, suggesting that extra thought or planning is needed.
Resistance wants to block meaningful work. When you feel it, name it and act. Choose your next step and begin now.
