Simplified Meaning:

When you are trying to get something important done, there will often be feelings or thoughts that try to stop you. These distractions or excuses aren't always real, but they feel convincing. For example, imagine you need to study for a big test. Suddenly, you might feel like cleaning your room, watching TV, or checking social media instead. This is 'resistance' trying to keep you from focusing on your work. To overcome it, you need to recognize these distractions and push through them. Understanding that these feelings are just barriers can help you stay focused and committed to your goals.
