You won’t feel like owning it. Do it anyway. The feeling usually shows up after.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Waiting to feel ready gets the order backwards. Courage is not a mood that arrives and then enables the action, it is usually the thing you notice afterwards, looking back at having done something while feeling awful. If you hold out for the comfortable version of yourself, the moment passes and the difficulty stays.

Pick the thing you have been putting off and give it a time today, not a condition. Not when you feel better, but at four o’clock. Then do it badly if necessary, and watch how quickly the dread turns into something else.
