Introducing pain

I've been circling a decision. The plan, if it's a plan, is to take an option away from myself. Make staying put cost something. Introduce enough pain that I can't keep doing what I'm doing.

I don't know if that's a good idea.

It's made me think about The War of Art by Steven Pressfield.

Show up.

Do the work.

Try to overcome the Resistance.

A professional doesn't need a crisis. He just goes to work.

He'd call this Resistance, and he's probably right.

But he assumes the work is already in front of you.

I still can't tell if taking the option away is the Resistance, or me trying to be a professional.
