In this episode, the creatives discuss pages 1-13 pages of Steven Pressfield's The War of Art. For this week, we talk over the following challenges: 

  • “Resistance cannot be seen, touched, heard, or smelled but it can be felt.” pg 7  Set aside some time to to pursue a creative activity. Where do you feel resistance? What are you pushed to other than you creative time? What distracts you? Take notes.
  • Pg 8 Note when you blame others or make excuses for not making time for you art. What/who do you blame? Shift the blame from them to your personal resistance and take responsibility instead of blaming others or circumstances.
  • “Rule of thumb: The more important a call or action in our soul’s evolution, the more Resistance we will feel toward pursuing it.” Pg 12 Identify an important call to action in your life. Come up with 5 ways to overcome resistance, then come up with 5 more… Implement one of these this week.
  • “We’re wrong if we think we’re the only ones struggling with Resistance. Everyone who has a body experiences resistance.” Pg 13 Talk to a friend and ask them to share about their creative resistances and share about yours. Ask for some accountability and encouragement from them this upcoming week.
