How to Beat Procrastination and Overcome Resistance

The Extraordinary Everyday

What keeps so many of us from doing the things we long to do? In this episode, you’ll learn how to stop self-sabotaging and start fulfilling your greatest creative potential. I refer to the book, The War of Art, by Steven Pressfield, and discuss the three key points to beat procrastination and overcome resistance.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

• The secret to beating procrastination
• What the enemy is and how it shows up
• What happens when you have fear
• Becoming a professional vs. being an amateur
• How to banish the ego
• The battle between the self and the ego
• Productivity hacks for the creator

All Quotes by Steven Pressfield:

~“Most of us have two lives, the life we live, and the unlived life within us, and between the two is this thing called resistance.”
~"Resistance is infallible, like a magnetized needle floating on a surface of oil, Resistance will unfailingly point to true North-meaning that calling or action it most wants to stop us from doing.”

~“When we sit down day after day and keep grinding…The muse takes note of our dedication. She approves…we become like a magnetized rod that attracts iron filings. Ideas come.”

~“The most important thing about art is to work. Nothing else matters but sitting down and trying.”
