"How Do I Override Bodily Resistance to What’s Good? "

"When the body shuts down with fatigue and resistance whenever the heart calls toward what is good, how do I overcome this? Rupert says: ‘Your understanding has to override your feelings, because in this case your feelings are not rising on behalf of love and understanding. They are rising on behalf of resistance . . . You have to take yourself by the hand . . . When you’re in this heavy, inert state, don’t try to go from there to peace. You have to go from there first of all to activity . . . That will break you out of this contraction, and you go from there to peace . . . Call a friend, someone that helps you to break this spell of inertia . . . Use that intelligence that still hasn’t completely been smothered by the depression and call a friend and get up, exercise, yoga, a cold shower, a walk in nature.’"
