If you think about internal resistance as a prediction of fear and pain towards the thing you absolutely want to achieve, you’ll be able to use it at your advantage. If you give it some thoughts, internal resistance is not about laziness or procrastination. In fact, why would you be so passive about something you truly want to achieve? Actually, internal resistance is on your side trying to protect you from experiencing pain. It’s primitive and unsettling, but you can try to apply Jane Elliott’s advice to overcome the blocks. And remember: ‘’the force of your internal resistance is also a measure of how much you actually want to do the work’’. Use this energy to persevere!
It’s such a difficult art to stay centered, a never-ending game whether we like it or not. This comes back to the idea of readiness, a readiness to react to unexpected situations (Ref. Issue 36). In such moments, the word resilience takes on its full meaning. Here is what say Peter Blue: ‘’Good things can happen, bad things can happen. The polarity is that the good is born out of the bad, the bad out of the good. When you can live, you will die. When you have, you can loose. When you don't have you can gain. That is why many spiritual and religious schools suggest to stay centered in the ups and downs of faith. Clinging to one side of the polarity seem to create the most suffering.’’
