For the past few days I’ve been majorly struggling to complete certain tasks.
They aren’t difficult tasks but they are fairly urgent. They’re already overdue and need to get done.
And yet I am encountering the most ferocious resistance to doing them!
Actually, “resistance” isn’t the best word to describe what I’m feeling. It would be more accurate to say that I’m experiencing a refusal to obey.
No matter how much I reason with myself or try to motivate myself or cajole myself or threaten myself, a part of me just says NO. And right now, that part of me winning.
So, I entertained myself by finding other words that describe this unfortunate state of affairs:
Recalcitrance
Balkiness
Refractoriness
Insubordination
Disobedience
Maybe identifying it will sufficiently dissipate the blocking energy so I can actually get some work done. That’s my hope anyway.
