Name the Resistance
Day 1: The block has a name
What are you really afraid of when you write?
Resistance is fear dressed as procrastination. It shows up not because you're weak—but because you're close to something meaningful.
Tiny Experiment:
⏱ Set a 15-minute timer.
Free-write about what blocks you most when writing.
Don’t edit. Don’t judge.
Just empty your mind onto the page.
Reflect:
What did you learn about what you’re avoiding?
Is it fear of being seen… or not being good enough?
Get ready to share your imperfect work! No more lurking or thinking or doing it later… You’ve got this! I believe in you, and I've got your back!
DIRECTIONS:
Post Your Work
In the comments as a link to your article or Note
ME: I will share it with the tribe
YOU: Engage with at least 1 person’s writing that resonates with you
Be kind, encouraging, supportive, and courageous!
👉 If you enjoy this micro-experiment, feel free to share it with friends!
Am I doing this right, Magdalena?

I restacked with a note. Resistance in living. Not that I don't live, but easier on the page. Not really the exercise, but a tangent...
