| 0:00.0 | Good morning, my beautiful beans and welcome to today's pep talk episode. This episode is all around |
| 0:07.0 | stop resisting, face that thing and get it done. That is the topic of today's pep talk. So I want |
| 0:14.3 | to talk about why it is that you end up resisting something so much and why it feels that that |
| 0:20.1 | resistance gets worse and |
| 0:22.3 | worse the more you prolong it. This could be for small tasks around the house. It could be for major |
| 0:27.0 | things. This covers all aspects of things that you do that you are resisting. Just think about |
| 0:34.6 | when you don't want to do a task. Let's, for the sake of this episode, let's talk about cleaning the kitchen, which is left like a pig style. |

| 1:12.6 | you know, I don't have to do it now because maybe I'll wait till I'm cooking the next thing and then |
| 1:16.2 | blah, blah, blah. Anyway, so you're, this resistance, it's ahead and cleaning it because you're like, that equals |
| 1:28.4 | discomfort and I don't want to be a part of that discomfort. I just want to chill. I want to relax. I don't |
| 1:33.4 | want to do that thing. So the back and forth before doing the task ends up being worse than actually |
