from The Daily Discipline from Project MNDST · host Tom Carter
There is a force that opposes every creative and meaningful act. Steven Pressfield calls it Resistance.In this episode, we explore why you check your phone instead of writing, reorganize your desk instead of making the call, and feel drained only when it's time to do deep work. Resistance isn't random—it's targeted. And it's personal.Key topics:Why Resistance shows up strongest for what matters mostSteven Pressfield on amateurs vs. professionalsResistance as a compass pointing to your soul's evolutionWhy inspiration comes AFTER you start, not beforeToday's Practice: Notice where Resistance shows up strongest today. The task you keep pushing to tomorrow. Don't negotiate with it. Sit down and do the work anyway. Five minutes. Once you start, Resistance loses its power.Sources: Steven Pressfield, The War of ArtMaster the mind. Your life will follow.
