15 Minutes a Day to Outsmarting Your Resistance

June 26, 2010

My definition of resistance is – anything inside you that says No when your heart says Yes.

Your resistance could be fear, doubt, anxiety, procrastination, self-sabotage, worry, distraction, numbing out, escaping, avoiding, self-criticism, anger, boredom or any other state that gets in the way of you going towards what you really, really want.

And I know how exhausting it is to battle with these obstacles again and again and how bad we feel about ourselves when we can’t seem to get past them. I waged this battle myself for so many years that I was sure I was never going to accomplish anything.

So how do you deal with these blocks and still have energy left for your dreams?

It’s true that you can’t out-think your resistance. But you CAN outsmart it!

And what does it take to outsmart it? Not will-power, not self-discipline, not sneaky tricks.

What it takes is awareness.

But just generic understanding of resistance won’t be enough, because your resistance is unique. In fact, you even have a different resistance pattern for each goal you’re working on!

You need to actually track and see your own resistance patterns clearly so you can “catch them in the act”. That’s the very first step in the process of transforming your resistance into a powerful friend and ally.

Your resistance is actually a very wise and loving protector.

But so many of the explanations out there make it seem like a mischievous child at best or an arch enemy at worst. These versions paint a picture of resistance that tells us we have to keep battling it forever.

And that’s just not true.

I started to study resistance in its many forms over 18 years ago when I started working for an international seminar company. As a co-facilitator of their 12 week programs, I would watch the students hit one inner wall after another when they tried to really change their lives.

Later, as a coach, I had the opportunity to experiment with many, many different views and approaches to resistance. But it wasn’t until I started to explore shadow work, trans-personal psychology, the Buddhist way of compassion and the mystic’s way of inner digestion that the pieces of a really effective process came together.

And, as a former molecular biologist, I became fascinated with understanding how the brain and nervous system help to create the self-protective patterns that we call resistance.

I came to realize that mapping and understanding your resistance is actually a powerful choice to get to know your true self more deeply, instead of just battling it. When you come to understand these parts, you’ll come to appreciate them and you’ll begin an inner conversation full of insight as you begin to unravel the immense wisdom behind your resistance.

What is the “15 Minutes a Day to Outsmarting Your Resistance” kit?

An awareness building guide to help you end the struggle and take your power back when resistance tries to take over
Step-by-step daily worksheets to help you track the unique patterns of your own resistance, so you can spot them and make new choices when they come up
A practical description of what resistance really is and how it’s wired into your brain so you can understand it’s natural function and loving intention and stop beating yourself up for having it
Questions that strengthen your natural desire and motivation so you have more fuel to move you into action
A way to find and fill the “missing ingredients” that are keeping you from being able to act on your desires
An overview of the “inner digestion” process showing you how real change happens in a moment to moment way
A set of 4 Resistance Busting practices you can use in the “crunch” to move quickly out of your resistance and into your heart, so your process can feel encouraging and joyful instead of something you dread

These 6 things together end your battle, open the pathway to your goals and free up enormous energy for real forward progress!

Am I Kidding About the 15 Minutes a Day?

No, not at all!

The very first time you go through the worksheets, it will likely take you a bit longer than 15 minutes. But once you’ve got the hang of it, 15 minutes is VERY do-able.

You’re already using up all kinds of time in your struggle. You need something that isn’t going to be one more “thing you have to do” barrier before you can get moving.

I specifically designed this to require the least effort for the greatest result – creating the awareness and understanding that will soften your struggle, get you taking real actions and feeling great about them!

It’s meant to be fast, practical and heart-full.

The steps are simple enough to do without second guessing yourself, and deep enough to get to the real heart of the matter. And, since the whole sequence takes only 15 minutes, it sneaks past the “you are too busy to sit here and navel gaze–get to work!!!” part of the brain that loves to be busy doing stuff that doesn’t really matter.
My favorite part? Unlike other “motivation” tools, it is also 100% battle metaphor free.

How Much:

As some of you know, I love to give good stuff for free.

But this one is just too valuable.

If you do the worksheets and listen to the audio, you’ll get the same tracking process and awareness practices that my clients get and the equivalent of about 2 private sessions worth of material – that’s a $350 value!

Plus, when I pay for something, I use it. And I don’t want a single copy of this program gathering cyber-dust on anyone’s hard-drive. That defeats the purpose of even offering it.

I want the very process of getting this guide to strengthen your resolve and show your resistance that you’re serious about moving forward!

So my heart says that offering it to you for $47 dollars (US) will be just enough to make it accessible but still valuable enough to be worth really using it.

Even if you resist using this, you win!

This is NOT like every other program you’ve seen that’s supposed to get you moving.

With typical motivation programs, the first thing that happens is your resistance kicks in and keeps you from using them. Then you’ll judge your avoidance, beat yourself up about it, feel even worse and avoid them even more! Sound familiar?

Here the goal is not action. It’s understanding and compassion. That’s why it’s the antidote to the judgment/avoidance cycle.

This process is completely different because it STARTS working when your resistance shows up.

So the moment you find yourself resisting the worksheets, you’re guided to lay down your judgment and use the worksheets themselves to understand your avoidance of them.

Brilliant, huh?

And on top of that, the resistance busting practices are specifically designed to get you out of the judgment/avoidance cycle and back into compassion and understanding.

Practice this long enough and you might just outgrow your self-judgment all together!

My Guarantee:

If you get this kit and try it and it turns out to be totally not your thing, just let me know and I’ll give you a full refund.

The key word there is “try it”. Giving a refund because you’re not using it would be a crazy thing for me to offer on a program about resistance! (And if your desire for a refund becomes the thing that gets you past your resistance to trying it…that’s beautiful!)
