Resistance seems to be the topic around my usual blogosphere hangout these days. I thought I should stay off the topic, but hey, why should I be the one sticking out.

I think, but I may be wrong, that it started over at Gordons blog in this post about Resistance. I have seen other posts on Paul Lesters blog, Doonster, Paul Butzi and uuuuhm, a lot more. I think you should be able to find most of them from the links I’ve provided.

Well, to the point. I too, like most people I suppose, also suffer from this. The natural instinct to avoid doing something that seems hard, or that I am not confident in doing. The thing is, when I’m out walking, or doing some other form of physical activity, everything seems to be possible. Even so when I’m out photographing. If I have a slow day, and I can’t really find anything good, I can just speed up my pace, and let the world fly by faster. That usually helps. I guess I look like those Canon tv adds, you know those where some people where dropping out of the sky with an EOS 400D or something and immediately started to litterarily run around taking pictures. I’ll admit that it is not the best way to cover the subjects. After all, it’s hard to be very observant when the pulse is punping hard, but it gets the creativity juices flowing, so why not.

I guess I should have a threadmill in front of my desk at work as well

The good feeling fades fairly quickly when I get back home an sit down, but some of the ideas and inspiration remains for a while.

So if you have problems with “Resistance”, try physical exersize. And even if it doesn’t work, the side effect isn’t that bad either
