You don’t have to feel strong to keep going. You just have to take the next step while feeling weak.

Waiting to feel capable before acting puts the feeling in charge of the action, and the feeling is not reliable. Strength as a sensation does not dependably come before hard things; very often it arrives afterwards, as a result of having done them. The requirement is much smaller than it looks: one more step, taken in whatever state you are in. The state is allowed to be bad.

Take the next step today while feeling exactly as you feel. Go to the session, open the book, start the shift. Do not wait for the mood to lift first, because moving is usually what lifts it.
