Yesterday I started a visiting client on an exercise regimen that takes only four minutes.
That’s it.
Four minutes and you’re D-O-N-E.
Today is a totally new day – and despite how much this client enjoyed the workout – the same feeling wasn’t playing on her internal radio this morning.
She was in ‘R’ mode.
She was using the ‘R’ word without saying a word – coming up with excuses to delay the workout.
Now let me ask: Is resistance a physical or a mental block?
If you answered “mental” – you are correct.
Unless there’s an injury or illness, there’s nothing preventing you from exercising for four minutes.
So what do you do to overcome the resistance?
Instead of trying to overcome the resistance with positive thoughts – you begin to break it up with deep breathing.
You start by inhaling deeply and letting it go. From there you can move on to inhaling vital energy and exhaling laziness, lethargy and fatigue.
With a total of nine deep breaths, your inner psychology begins to change without you even trying to change it.
No attempted adjustments of thought or belief.
Just change the way you breathe and you’ll change who you are.
This doesn’t mean you never adjust your thoughts or beliefs. You simply recognize the pecking order; the top priority.
You can overcome challenges most easily when you incorporate the breath first and mental imagery second.
Get rid of the cruddy thinking without thinking – then begin to picture your goal.
Upon doing this, the resistance retreats and you’re “doing without doing.”
You’re taking action, not with dogged, determined effort, but by following the movie playing in your mind.
When you follow the movie in your mind and it harmonizes with what you say you want, you eliminate resistance and become the person you have been admiring from within.
This is what I taught my client this morning. We started with deep breathing, as we did yesterday.
The resistance faded almost immediately and knocking out the 4-minute routine was a cinch.
Apply this to any situation wherein you encounter the ‘R’ word – and you’ll move through it with ease.

P.S. If you already own a copy of Psycho-Cybernetics, you may want to know what to get next:
I suggest the following three courses:
1. Theatre of the Mind – this is the 10- hour audio program published by Nightingale-Conant. People who have this program tell me they have it playing non-stop in their cars.
2. Advanced Psycho-Cybernetics Private Coaching Facebook Group – in this group you can watch 17-hours worth of video that were part of an 8-week coaching program I conducted recently. You can also ask questions that I and others in the group will answer. Email me for more information on this extraordinary life-changer.
3. Zero Resistance Living – a massive home study course with two big manuals and 12 hours worth of audio.
