@hubermanlab: How to Overcome Inner Resistance & Fear of Failure The first step is to identify what is the most important project for you to be working on. Turns out, there's a simple answer to that. @spressfieldexplains here and on the Huberman Lab podcast out now. Steven Pressfield is the author of The War of Art and seasoned expert in how to overcome the inner force of "Resistance"—the self-sabotaging tendency to procrastinate on your life's most important work that keeps you from realizing your professional and creative potential. As the author of numerous best-selling books and screenplays, Steven understands resistance firsthand and how to overcome it. Instead of giving inspirational stories or quotes, he shares actionable tools for defeating inner resistance that work. His approach is concrete and can teach you how to work like a pro even if you've never been published or are entering a new field. Steven's routines for cultivating discipline and focus, including his physical training regimen (he is incredibly mentally and physically vigorous at 82), are applicable for anyone. He gives you effective practical strategies for how to structure your day, overcome procrastination and self-doubt and do your best, most meaningful work. #huberman #hubermanlab #hubermanlabpodcast #stevenpressfield

I think one actor that put himself into the kind of roles he’s speaking about is Cillian Murphy. What he does isn’t easy. I’m a stage actor and when I did my first movie was when I really found out how hard that kind of work is. And boring! I sat in a hot tub for hours and by the second day I was ready to walk off the set and go home. Give me a live audience and a stage any day!!!

Quite the opposite. If I start doing the stuff which I really feel drawn to all the other things evemtually evolve from that. Look for the lowest entry. My advise. 💋

In Buddhism, that “Capital R resistance” is known as “Mara”, a demon who represents temptation and distraction.

A role that you think you would never like or want, often turns out the role you are naturally the best at!

This is a topic I’ve spent years with…. Nietzsche called it Amor fati the love of one’s fate.
Jung called it the shadow.
Christ called it carrying the cross.
In every frame, the teaching is the same: the thing you resist is not your enemy but your initiation.
To go where you resist is to recover the parts of yourself you’ve exiled the wildness, the tenderness, the innocence, the fire.
You reclaim them and emerge whole.

The resistance here refers to the resistance to letting go of fear based negative beliefs that don't actually serve your true self. It doesn't refer to how difficult it feels to accomplish a specific thing. Those don't necessarily have to be difficult. In fact, following one's true passion can feel quite effortless.
