Welcome to the Saturday recap. Enjoy!
Personal Development
This week, the focus is on resistance. We all face resistance when we are trying to move difficult projects or goals forward. The posts provide some thoughts and ideas to help you work through the pushback and achieve your aims.
What is Resistance? The first post of the week sets the foundation for all the other posts. We are grounded in the definition of resistance and where it might show up.
The Scientific Side of Resistance. When we look at resistance in the context of electricity, there are some good analogies for what is happening when we feel resistance in our lives.
The Spiritual Side of Resistance. This post builds on the scientific side taking the metric of ohm and flipping to how the spiritual application of ohm can help us work through our resistance.
Identifying and Combating Our Scaries. This post is a bit longer and provides a series of ideas on how we can combat what might be behind our resistance. We explore what scares us.
Keep the Scar Out of Scary. Sometimes when scary things happen, they can create a scar that stays with us for years. This is why we resist – we don’t want the scar. The last post of the week strives to help us keep the scar out of the scary.
One Shade Greener
This week, the sustainability post – The Economics of Sustainability – discusses how we might expand the way we look at the GDP and the sector of the green economy.
