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

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

1:33.4

want to do that thing. So the back and forth before doing the task ends up being worse than actually
