It\u2019s a universal experience for all of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the deeper question is, where does it reside in the brain and how do we overcome it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The brain and the avoidance mode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I don\u2019t believe anyone has conducted a brain scan specifically on resistance, but one thing we do know is that the right side of the prefrontal region that lies behind your forehead lights up when we\u2019re trying to avoid something. This same region also lights up with negative emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We should intentionally practice shifting the activity to the left prefrontal region that is largely associated with <em><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.ultrahuman.com\/resilience-and-letting-go-the-highest-level-of-performance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">approaching things in life with resilience<\/a>.<\/em> The fact is that resistance is relentless. Not only is this hardwired, but we\u2019ve done this so often that it has turned into a default mode. The brain has such a hold over us, that we\u2019re not even aware of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research suggests that inertia or \u201ca tendency to do nothing or to remain unchanged,\u201d is imperative for maintaining a state of equilibrium. This homeostasis is important for upholding a normal body temperature, metabolism and other important bodily functions. It\u2019s also responsible for our resistance to change. (1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our basal ganglia nerve cell bodies in the primitive brain are responsible for \u201cwiring\u201d habits. They modulate automatic\/familiar behaviours or habits. When we try to introduce a new diet or a physical activity into our routine, after sedentary phase, it can contradict neural pathways that have become automatic to us. (1)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is why procrastination is so common.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.ultrahuman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/The-brain-avoidance-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1191\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.ultrahuman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/The-brain-avoidance-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blog.ultrahuman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/The-brain-avoidance-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.ultrahuman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/The-brain-avoidance-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.ultrahuman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/The-brain-avoidance-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.ultrahuman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/The-brain-avoidance-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>So what do we do about it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">K.N.O.W Your Resistance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Know<\/em><\/strong> that your resistance is deeply ingrained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Notice<\/em><\/strong> the resistance in your day as a way of disentangling from it. The moment you\u2019re aware of it, you\u2019re mindful and you create some space between yourself and the resistance. Be open and receptive to the experience of it. How does it feel in your body? Get intimate with it so you can recognise the sensations of it, the thoughts surrounding it and behaviors it prompts you to adopt that lead you away from your intention. This kickstarts the left prefrontal shift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Whack it!<\/em><\/strong> This may seem very unmindful, but it can be kind of fun to think about it this way. We have to remember that mindfulness is awareness and opens us up to discerning what is best for us in the moment. If whacking it is too strong of a term for you (because it implies harming), you might prefer welcoming it and letting it go as a more compassionate response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Play with these four steps with respect to anything that you experience resilience toward. Remember, you\u2019re not alone. Every human being goes through resistance, even the most talented people you can think of sense it prior to getting started and performing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Resistance is a universal experience. The basal ganglia in the primitive brain is responsible for wiring habits. The right side of the prefrontal region of the brain that lies behind your forehead lights up when we\u2019re trying to avoid something. The brain is powerful, but you do have the ability to change it and overcome resistance when you get to K.N.O.W it. This isn\u2019t easy. So be forgiving towards yourself along the way but investigate the resistance to continue to learn from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Disclaimer:<\/em> The contents of this article are for general information and educational purposes only.
