Yesterday, I wrote about head and heart but the resistance is real

The push we face when we sit to do our creative work - the work we really want to do

We want to make that magic so bad, we already worked it out in our heads.
But the moment we try to write the script, make the video, put a stroke on the canvas, write the proposal, or design the logo… the resistance is there waiting for us.

All the fears, insecurities, prejudices, 'what ifs', moods, and even people around us.

In his book The War of Art, Steven Pressfield said - if you didn't love the project that is terrifying you, you wouldn't feel anything. The opposite of fear isn't hate, it's indifference.

Fear is a sign that you care.
Feeling it is a pointer to what you have to do, not the other way around

And the antidote to the resistance is discipline.

In The War of Art, Steven wrote:
Someone asked Somerset Maugham if he wrote on a schedule or only when struck by inspiration.
"I write when inspiration strikes," he replied. "Fortunately, it strikes every morning at nine o'clock sharp."

Give your head the permission to sit your heart down and do the work.
