How does the brain prevents you achieve your potential

Usually we accurately represent their ideal future, but do not try to change anything in my life. And all because our own brain provides us resistance.

What manifests resistance

brain resistance does not allow us to become better and achieve big goals. So you need to figure out how to subdue him, and not to give in to his influence.

Resistance works against you if:

• you're constantly putting off work on what is important to you;
• you criticize yourself too much;
• You always think that you are not working well;
• you always find an excuse, something to do.

Resistance - this is the voice that tells you that it is better to be careful, do not take the time to find a compromise. It is a voice that whispers to you that you will not succeed, that people just laugh, if you decide to try his hand at something new. Resist the brain will do everything possible to prevent you achieve your potential.

The brain will falsify the facts, to threaten, to seduce and persuade you to give up and not go out of your comfort zone.

Writer Steven Pressfield believes that resistance - is, in fact, sabotage myself. In the book "War of the creative. How to overcome the internal barriers and begin to create, "he observes, that the more we feel the resistance, the more important for us this or that unrealized project and the more satisfaction we feel when they finally realize it.

"The resistance takes the form of fear, but the level of fear corresponds to the force of the Resistance - Pressfield explains. - Therefore, the more we are afraid of the undertakings, the more important it is for us and for our spiritual development. If it meant nothing to us, there would be no resistance. "

If you simply allow events to happen to you rather than to make a choice and to create something, it's time to change your approach to life.
