Ever wonder what’s holding you back?

As someone in a semi-creative field, I find myself not reaching my full potential and not really understanding why that’s happening. Steven Pressfield’s book, The War of Art, aims to help you recognize what in your life is holding you back & how to overcome it.
Pressfield uses the term “Resistance” to encompass what might be holding you back. Friends? Family? That fearful voice in your head? Procrastination?
Recognizing your resistance is key in powering through to reach your greatest success.
I found myself at times arguing with the book…which then made me realize my own arguments were my own resistance. Ha!
I really liked this book and it was a great, quick read. I feel like I’ll  be less likely to get in my own head moving forward, creatively.

Up next: Misery by Stephen King. I will be discussing next week so stay tuned!
