Work through the resistance

Do you ever get stuck and wish you could just quit instead of pursuing your dreams? It’s a horrible situation to be in. Let’s see if we can work through it and move forward no matter how we feel.

The Problem

Sometimes we get overwhelmed with all the things we need to do. When we are faced with a long to-do list we can become discouraged and give up instead of doing anything.

Wasting time and giving up can look like writer’s block, procrastination, perfectionism, and anything else you find yourself doing instead of what you should be doing. Our inaction leads to feeling depressed, worthless, overwhelmed, sad, frustrated, and angry because we know we are letting ourselves and others down.

Handle the Situation

Acknowledge your feelings. Understand you are facing resistance from your mind because the mind chooses the easiest route and work is not easy.

Remind yourself of why you are doing what you are doing. Who are you serving? What will they be missing out on if you don’t get to work? Taking the focus off of ourselves can help us move forward.

Remember how good you will feel about your accomplishments when you have finished.
