Show Notes
In Part 2 of this powerful conversation, Marci Mitchell continues to explore internal resistance with mentor and author Kam Knight. Kam reveals how fear-based media, perfectionism, procrastination, and overplanning quietly block progress—and how to recognize these tricks before they take over. Listeners will gain practical tools, mindset shifts, and self-talk techniques to move past resistance and take aligned action toward their dreams.
How Fear and Media Fuel Internal Resistance
Host Marci Mitchell continues the conversation with Kam Knight, diving deeper into how internal resistance forms through fear-based thinking. Kam explains how the brain fixates on everything that could go wrong, often building an invisible wall that prevents action. Using examples from travel and media-driven fear, the conversation highlights how movies, news, and constant negative input can quietly increase anxiety and keep people from fully living their lives.
The Hidden Tricks Resistance Uses to Keep You Stuck
Kam breaks down the subtle and deceptive “tricks” of resistance, including overplanning, perfectionism, distraction, and constantly pushing goals off to “later.” He explains why these behaviors feel productive even though they prevent real progress. This segment helps listeners recognize resistance in their own lives and understand why awareness is essential before meaningful change can happen.
Practical Tools to Move Forward and Stay Consistent
The episode shifts into actionable strategies for overcoming resistance based on where people tend to get stuck—starting, staying consistent, finishing, or maintaining success. Kam introduces techniques like meditation-style recommitment, habit-building through repetition, and powerful self-talk and affirmations. The conversation closes with encouragement to use language, visualization, and small consistent actions to reprogram the unconscious mind and create sustainable forward momentum.
