The Wisdom of Resistance
One of the earliest lessons a creative process can offer is how to recognize and honor the stage of resistance. Resistance is often misunderstood. In many cultural narratives, it’s something to be avoided, pushed through, or overcome. Yet resistance can be a sign of internal preparation—a tension signaling that something important is on the verge of surfacing. It marks a transitional threshold, shaping everything that comes next.
When resistance is bypassed and the motions of beginning are simply acted out without presence, something feels off. The work may become disjointed or strained. It becomes difficult to sustain energy, remain connected to the essence of what’s unfolding, or access creative flow. The result often lacks vitality and coherence.
This mirrors many of our real-life experiences. How often do we try to override hesitation, only to feel disconnected from our goals or our own inner rhythm? Learning to pause, to notice what resistance is pointing toward, can open the door to deeper authenticity. In both art and life, resistance often signals that we’re on the verge of something meaningful.
