“Steven Pressfield says, Resistance is the devil!”
Indeed. Pressfield says somewhere that resistance emerges when we try to do anything with an upward movement–try to exercise, wake early, be organized, write etc. It is truly of the Devil because it makes us feel so defeated and bad about ourselves, and then we do not persist in any good endeavour.

But as Steven Pressfield says, Resistance is the devil! It truly is a daily grind, and perseverance goes a long way in conquering the many distractions (Facebook, anyone?) that seem to emerge to pull us off track. Let’s determine to get and keep those shiny new habits in order, Anita!

Sleep well and wake well-rested, Mollie!

Such wise advice. Starting slowly encourages the improvements over time. I’m working on decreasing Facebook time. My goal is to not stay “connected” at night, so I get to the goal of sleeping well and waking earlier, even though I now work till 11 at night. If I can feel awake in the morning, well rested, I’m sure my goals for the day can be easily accomplished. And the goal for you is in the works. Smile.
