Overcoming Resistance in Writing Our Life Story
Photo by Steve Johnson on Upslash
As we navigate through life, we face what Steven Pressfield calls “Resistance”—a force that keeps us from fully engaging with our most important goals, passions, and purpose.
Resistance isn’t simply procrastination; it’s the deeper fear and doubt that freeze us during pivotal chapters of our lives. Have you ever faced a moment that needed a leap of faith, but found yourself hesitating?
Pressfield’s “The War of Art” is an inspiration and guide to writers, artists, and other creators and makers. But if we want to author our own story, we need to grab a pen, paintbrush, or whatever and overcome Resistance.
Whether it’s a career change or retirement, a personal commitment, or a profound life change, these chapters demand courage, creativity, and planning.
How is Resistance showing up in your life?
Missing crucial conversations?
Uncomfortable decisions?
Efforts needed to improve well-being?
Too busy? Too tired?
Fear? Resentment? Resignation?
How have you overcome Resistance in the past?
What strategies have you used to move forward despite fear? How have these moments shaped your life?
Let’s keep turning the page on Resistance.
