What If You Are the Monster?
I was reading an article this week about "The Monster At the End Of This Book." If you've never read it, you should. It turns 50 this year. It's fabulous. Sure, it's a kid's book but it's still fabulous. Grover from Sesame Street finds out that there is a monster at the end of his book. He gets scared and comes up with more and more complicated ways to prevent the reader from turning pages, hoping to not get to the end of the book. Of course, at the end, it turns out that Grover IS the monster at the end of the book.

Looking At Our Resistance
We all experience resistance. We don't get to the gym, start cooking more and eating out less or break up with that person who makes us miserable. We have a million varied excuses for these deflections. We don't have time. We're stressed out. It's almost Valentine's Day. Deep down, we know that these are just rationalizations. We absolve ourselves from the guilt of things left undone, even if those things are actually really important. Why do we do this?
