A recent topic in the training: how to help participants stay present with their resistance to the program. As Newton put it in his First Law of Motion: objects at rest will tend to stay at rest, and objects in motion will tend to stay in motion, unless acted on by a force. Humans are the same way - we resist change, it takes work to move us. This is not a problem in itself. It is only natural. But often, when we encounter resistance - in ourselves or in the world - we are tempted to give up. Somehow we get the idea that resistance is a problem, a sign of personal failure.
