Welcome to Episode 38 of the Mindful Startup Podcast! Today, we're delving into a universal challenge: responding to resistance. Ever found yourself struggling to kickstart a new task or maintain consistency? You're not alone. Join me as we explore strategies to conquer that initial resistance and turn your dreams into reality.
🚀 Overcoming the Initial Hurdle
Starting is often the hardest part of any endeavor. Once you push through that initial resistance and dive into your task—whether it's podcast recording, writing a blog post, or crafting an email—the hard work begins to ease.
đź“… Time, Consistency, and Transformation
In just a few months, your life can take a transformative turn. I stumbled upon a quote that resonated deeply: "Six months of hard work, consistency, focus, discipline can change your life forever." Even three months of unwavering commitment can be a game-changer. I've experienced this firsthand, particularly in growing my TikTok following from scratch.
👉 Key Takeaways on Consistency
Consistency isn't about perfection but about persistent effort. Reflect on your goals—what can you commit to for the next 30 to 60 days? Small, daily improvements lead to significant, lasting change.
🌊 Navigating Resistance
Resistance can feel daunting, especially when faced with large goals. Remember, progress doesn't have to be an arduous journey. Break it down, focus on the next few months, and witness the impact on your life.
đź’ˇ Navigating Challenges - A Personal Example
I share my own struggles with resistance in improving this podcast. Realizing I was placing undue pressure on myself for perfection, I had to reevaluate my expectations. The journey to outstanding starts with consistency, incremental improvements, and resilience in the face of challenges.
🔍 Understanding Your Resistance
When resistance surfaces, ask yourself if it's rooted in a genuine need for rest or if it's an unrealistic demand for perfection. We can't always show up at 100%, and that's okay. Embrace the varying capacities you have each day, showing up even at 30% or 50%.
