Deep dives
Understanding Resistance
Resistance, described as an internal force that hinders creativity, manifests in various forms such as procrastination and self-doubt. This negative influence can lead individuals to abandon their creative aspirations by whispering thoughts that undermine their confidence, like questioning their worthiness to pursue certain subjects. Recognizing resistance as a universal obstacle rather than a personal failing allows creators to combat it effectively. By naming this force 'Resistance with a capital R', individuals can separate themselves from its negative judgments and instead focus on their creative work with determination.
