The Truth About Living Podcast

What is resistance and why is it important to overcome it? In this episode, I talk about resistance, how to recognize it, and what to do when you recognize it. I also discuss the benefits of living in the present moment. So listen, be present, and learn how to bring more joy into your life by overcoming resistance.   5 Key Takeaways Resistance is not accepting what is, not surrendering to the present moment. According to Eckhart Tolle, if you are feeling anything other than lightness and ease, then you are not in the present moment. You are carrying the weight of something from the past or perhaps some intensity about something you’re anticipating or imagining from the future. There are two main ways to recognize resistance. One is by being aware of your thoughts and catching yourself when your thoughts are not focused on the present moment. The other way is by being aware of the way you feel in your body.  The past and the future only exist in your mind.  Mindfulness brings about a joyful state.
