Resistance Against Greatness

Getting out of bed can be hard. Sometimes this is because we know we aren't living at the level of success, be it professional or personal, that we want and know we can have. We churn in our heads about how we deserve better than what we are getting. The fact that we are saying a true statement to ourselves makes getting up and going even harder.

Resistance, when talked about from a psychotherapeutic perspective, usually refers to how a person inhibits themselves from living a fully engaged life. Resistance equals putting the cart before the horse as a flat-out refusal to surrender to the over arching process required for greatness to evolve.

What can you do about your inhibiting relationship to resistance?

1. Notice when it is happening and label it appropriately
   
2. Refuse to get caught up in judging yourself for having resistance
3. Get your body moving in the direction your mind wants to go. For example, dress for your role, show up even when you don't feel like you have energy, and look people in the eye
