So I shouldn’t yet be blogging, bring slowly untold people here to see you in your still vulnerable not fully dressed state. Your exposed, messy, you probably have toilet paper stuck to your show (also known as typos) you don’t really want to be seen this way. Yet I am procrastinating because I am scared, I am scared to start writing again, I am scared of failing, of not writing anything interesting, useful, or worth reading, I am scared of bad grammar, and toilet paper stuck to my shoes. Or maybe it is resistance taunting me, trying to take me off track, dressed in disguise. Resistance is tricking and teasing me into believing that all these excuses are actually legitimate reasons for not writing for not doing anything. The thing is, there are never any real reasons for not doing ‘your work’. The best fight against resistance is showing up, starting because it is this that resistance wishes to stop us from. Resistance wishes to push us down, confuse us, trick us, distract us, from ‘our work’ whatever that may be.

Starting my own business, having no time clearly defined, my days totally mine to control, makes resistance think it is going to win. Driving me off the tracks, leaving me flipped over on the side of the road in a ditch, but no! I will not allow for this, I will get up I will show, I will turn to the blank page, I will write. I will put my butt in my chair at my desk, and I will put in my time. I will fight fatigue, I will fight the mall, calls for coffee, I will fight all distractions and I will put in the time. What I produce may not always be good, but I will do it and I will keep doing it. Putting the time in and putting aside excuses I believe, is the first step towards real success.

How do you fight resistance? How does it surface in your life?
