Whenever I meet resistance, I do not confront it but refocus on the senses. It is not a short term process, but lots of little periods during the day can be better than going up against the wall of resistance.

That’s a good suggestion. I wondered why I was having a hard time. It’s like pushing yourself to lift heavy weights at the gym when you’re only ready for the light weights. Thank you for explaining that.
