Following up from my post yesterday, here is a simple system to make resistance a positive in your work and activities instead of the negative that it is for most people.
1. Write out a list of the things you have to do. You can build the list up gradually, but the aim is to eventually cover everything in your life that doesn’t happen on a set-time basis. You can add further tasks at any time.
2. Starting at the end of the list, scan back through the list dotting every task which you feel zero resistance to doing.
3. Starting from the end, take at least some action on every task you’ve dotted. Re-enter as necessary.
4. Repeat Steps 2-4.
NOTES:
1) Zero resistance means absolutely no resistance whatsoever.
2) You must do a complete scan at Step 2 so that every task is considered. This is very important, because it is the scanning process that reduces the resistance you feel for each task. If you skip or foreshorten the scan, resistance will rise instead of fall.
3) This is intended to be a fast scan, so that your brain selects the tasks for action action without conscious thought. It’s similar though not identical to the “standing out” process used in many of my systems.
