Dealing with Resistance

Your body can give you great insight into your subconscious. Those uncomfortable feelings are signs that something is amiss. Learning to eliminate them is a powerful way to almost guarantee your success.

Analyze your resistance and learn to deal with it:

  1. Figure out why you’re feeling resistance. Typically, it’s either an issue with your deadline or a mental block about how to achieve your goal. If it’s the former, consider moving your deadline back until that feeling subsides.
  1. If it’s the latter, read on. If your goal requires a task or step that’s causing you stress, there are several things you can try.
  1. Meditate. Try meditating about the step of your process that makes you uncomfortable.
  1. Just do it. Use your willpower to get past the tough spot.
  1. Find a different solution. Maybe there’s a way to work around the part that’s bothering you.

 

Nearly every goal will have some tasks that cause you stress and discomfort. Otherwise, you probably would have accomplished the goal a long time ago! Successful people are better at dealing with psychological discomfort than the average person.

Learn to move forward when you feel uncomfortable. Those that look for excuses to quit when faced with discomfort often struggle throughout life.

After successfully achieving your first goal, it’s time to start over. Reassess your life and choose another aspect of your life that you’d like to change. When you’ve eliminated all of the lower-rated parts of your life, you’ll be much happier!

When each part of your life is at least an 8, you’ll doubt that life could ever get much better.

Depending on your starting point, you might be able to create a more fulfilling life rather quickly. If you’re in a very challenging time, it will take a little more work. Regardless of how great your life gets, it’s worthwhile to continue to set goals and accomplish them. Consistently working toward an even better life brings you even greater rewards.

 

“If you take responsibility for yourself you will develop a hunger to accomplish your dreams.”
