Summary
Why We Procrastinate: The Truth About Internal Resistance Why is it that you can want something, know exactly how to do it, feel motivated… and still not take action? In this episode of Shine In & Out, we sit down with Kam Knight to explore the concept of internal resistance — the hidden force in your mind that holds you back from doing what you know you should be doing. Together, we break down the three key elements shaping your behavior: Wants – the endless desires your mind creates Resistance – the built-in system designed to slow you down Tricks of Resistance – the subtle mental patterns that keep you stuck (like “I’ll do it later”) You’ll learn why procrastination isn’t about laziness, why motivation alone doesn’t work, and how your brain can both push you forward and hold you back at the same time. This episode will shift the way you see yourself, your habits, and your ability to take action. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or frustrated with yourself for not following through this conversation is for you. 🎧 Tune in and start understanding the real reason behind your resistance.
