Tricking or Treating?
Here are a two very different ways of getting things done when there is resistance:
#1 Trick yourself by adding outside structures
#2 Ignore the Mindfrick
Look at my last post with Graham White’s list. These are all examples of #1. But what the heck is Mindfrick?Mindfrick is a term introduced by peakpotentials, and it means ‘mind friction’ (you guessed this, yes?). It’s actually a concept from Zen buddhism, but more modernly named.
So #2 is about letting your mind chatterbox chat and bring up all kinds of thoughts and feelings. When you know what your higher purpose is, then you can ignore most of the chatter and just act inspite of your feelings, thoughts, and moods. It’s different from #2, because in #1 you still work with the resistance, and you find a way around it. In #2 you acknowledge that it’s not real.
Go ahead and give yourself a treat here and there by doing stuff anyway, out of pure purpose.
