This episode is all around. This episode is all around stop resisting, face that thing and get it done.

0:22.5

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
