Day 18 - Resistance and Flow

How I move through the days when everything resists.

Honestly?
It’s as simple — and as damn hard — as this:

Just keep going.

I’ve had so many days where resistance grinds against persistence, where everything in me wants to fast-forward to the answer, the clarity, the “other side”.
The only way out of resistance is through it.
No shortcuts. No magic override.

Some days the field presses down and everything moves like it’s stuck in molasses.
Other days it’s all chaos:
The car won’t start properly.
The toast burns.
A phone call informing me that Doggo ate fertiliser while I’m out shopping, so the groceries are abandoned, I call the vet, race home, call the vet again to say I’m stuck in school pick-up traffic—while every mother on the planet seems to be in front of me. (This one does not receive a 5 star rating from me).

Throwing my hands up and quitting isn’t an option.
Taking a moment to breathe? Yes
Taking a moment because someone else tell me to “calm down”? Absolutely not.

It’s not even about “focus” in the big motivational way.
It’s about the next thing that I can do.

Move the car to the tree that is ten metres away.
Then to the signpost that is at the corner.
Then around the next corner, hopefully traffic will have gained some momentum.
Movement thins out the goo.

Resistance doesn’t get the final say.
My actions do. Small though they may be.
