I suffer from "starting something new panic", which is where I overthink before starting something new because what if it's not good enough or witty enough or creative enough or smart enough or captivating enough or what if I don't stick with it long enough that I just avoid it all together. But sometimes, if not always, you should start something simply for sake of getting the start out of the way.

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back — concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans:
that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.
Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”

💥I often don’t want to tell people about ‘new’ things I’m doing because I am fearful that I’ll fail, or I won’t follow through, and that I won’t meet my own or others expectations.
But I hate living with that fear or that guilt. it isn’t productive, and it means I don’t get to share the new things that are bringing me joy, so I’ve started telling people about the new stuff I’m doing, because I’d rather people know that I’m taking the leap and that I sometimes fail, than hide that from everyone, including myself.

😃I love trying new things and understand that with trying new things comes failure and disappointment sometimes. I’ve had a tough day and decided to try something new because what could feel worse than I already do? But it worked out and felt good (yay). Trying to carry this over into things I actually need to do today though….baby steps

🚋lately I've felt something new growing behind my heart, kind of near the back by my spine. It's a mass of feeling that a new internal shift is coming, something that will break the mental cycle I've been stuck in since 2020. When I was younger, life felt like it was constantly changing, I was constantly moving in the correct direction. However the last four years have felt like I have been standing at the station, waiting for my train to arrive. But when it does, I watch the doors close over and over again as I tell myself not to worry, I'll catch the next one. Maybe soon I'll find the energy to lift my foot and take the step on.
