Resistance is information...
The friction you feel isn't stopping you. It's showing you the way.
Happy Sunday!
Five minutes each week to reset, reflect, and move forward with intention.
1 INSIGHT TO CONSIDER
Resistance is a sign you’re close to something true.
That heavy feeling before you sit down to create? The pull toward distraction when you’re about to do meaningful work? This isn’t weakness. It’s information. Resistance appears strongest at the edge of what matters most. It's your inner compass pointing toward growth, disguised as opposition.
2 REFLECTIONS TO SIT WITH
The stronger the resistance, the truer the path.
Discomfort is not a warning. It’s an invitation.
3 PROMPTS FOR THE WEEK
What am I avoiding that might actually matter to me?
Where does resistance show up in my creative life?
How would it feel to move forward slowly, even if it’s uncomfortable?
Until next week,
Chris
