I am willing to bet that you have something on your perpetual to-do list that you are avoiding. I know I am. What if you took a moment to ask yourself this question:
Is my avoidance due to busyness, laziness, or is it… fear?
Fear is quite powerful. It can immobilize us. And we can be stuck in this state of inaction without even realizing it. Fear can make us both frozen and numb.
So, how do we thaw in a world that makes us freeze? And if we don’t even realize we are in a freeze state, how do we figure it out? You actually have to do the one thing that feels the most contrary… you have to stop trying to figure it out. You are mentally exhausting yourself by thinking through all the negative scenarios. When we are frozen and gripping tightly to avoid doing the thing, we are actually using more energy than if we just did the thing.
Unclench. Let go.
Do one small thing that moves you towards completing the thing. Devote ten minutes and then stop. Dedicate five minutes if ten feels overwhelming. Breathe. Go for a walk.
You are an amazing, capable, and magical human. You can do it and you will only get better at it. You are going to be okay.
I love you.
