Internal resistance is an attempt to avoid the pain we associate with successfully doing the thing. Internal resistance is not lazy — it’s fucking energetic as hell!

Resistance energy

If you think about internal resistance as a prediction of fear and pain towards the thing you absolutely want to achieve, you’ll be able to use it at your advantage. If you give it some thoughts, internal resistance is not about laziness or procrastination. In fact, why would you be so passive about something you truly want to achieve? Actually, internal resistance is on your side trying to protect you from experiencing pain. It’s primitive and unsettling, but you can try to apply Jane Elliott’s advice to overcome the blocks. And remember: ‘’the force of your internal resistance is also a measure of how much you actually want to do the work’’. Use this energy to persevere!
