Maybe this is implied in the pasuk סור מרע ועשה טוב turn away from bad when doing good בקש שלום ורדפהו when one searches for peace, the same time one should avoid fake peace. The yetzer hara wants us to make peace between the body and soul and stay steady and not improve oneself but follow the desires of the body. So we say that we should resist him by creating small conflicts where the neshama does something that the body does not like until the body gets used to it and then repeat it. The Chasam Sofer says a little different that creating peace between body and soul is part of the good after the conflict getting used to it and slowly repeating the process.
