| 0:00.0 | This episode is all around. This episode is all around stop resisting, face that thing and get it done. |
| 0:22.5 | That is the topic of today's pep talk. |
| 0:25.3 | So I wanted to talk about why it is that you end up resisting something so much and why it feels |
| 0:31.4 | that that resistance gets worse and worse the more you prolong it. |
| 0:35.7 | This could be for small tasks around the house. It could |
| 0:37.9 | be for major things. This covers all aspects of things that you do that you are resisting. |
| 0:45.3 | Just think about when you don't want to do a task. Let's, for the sake of this episode, let's talk |
