Resistance in the Path

Remember everyone,
Resistance is a stepping stone. Resistance is to be expected when embarking on a new journey. No resistance is equal to staying in the confines of your comfort zone (which you define yourself btw).

An example:
Talking to a colleague the other day, he saw I’m using those forearm trainers. Then we started talking about push-ups. Another colleague joined in, one thing leading to another and he easily does 30 pushups in a row. So I go and do the same. The first colleague then chimes back in and says he can vividly remember that when he started pushups he was struggling with 5. I looked back in my memory and told him I remember the same thing lol. And now we’re both here doing 30 in one go with reasonable ease.

That’s the comfort zone being redefined over time.

In each area of our lives we have an innumerable amount of goals and aspirations. We tend to try something new and when it doesn’t work the first few times, we give in to the temptation of the inner critic, think we made little or no progress and give up.

But as mentioned in the beginning, resistance is to be expected. Why? Because that implies improvement, moving forward, making progress. Etc.

You feel resistance?
Good, you are improving :slight_smile:
