Why do I do this? Because... it is true. I am putting myself out there. I am afraid of my head being lobbed off! Thanks Trista. But seriously. Why? What is the worst that could happen? Someone will read my words and spit on their computer screen? Cause an electrical fire somewhere? What? I don't know. Do. DO. do. Do. dO> DO!
I am tired of putting it off, whatever "it" may be.
I am tired of looking back and realizing missed opportunities, for when I let them slide by, I am fully aware, yet something holds me back. Something in my subconscious. Something I must conquer, or maybe even envelope, in order to be whole.
I need to follow my north star. Wherever that takes me. Follow my heart. And just DO! Yaya. I like that. I'm a do-er. They say that if you tell yourself you're something you aspire to be, then you will become. I'm a freaking Do-er. I like the sounds of that. No fear, just do. Sweeeeeeeet:)

As usual, I relate to this post and the previous one. (My guy and I quoted Yoda "There is not try..." both yesterday and today!)
I don't get it either--it's so hard to "do." It's hard to get started (exercise, writing, etc.) I think part of it is how much we expect of ourselves, but it's not like it's all going to happen the first time we sit down to write or head to the gym.
I'm trying really hard to focus on daily practice. Just ten minutes of writing a day. Thirty minutes of exercise a day. Just that. As soon as I start striving for more ("I'll run faster and further!" "I'll turn this idea into a book!") I get overwhelmed and discouraged and then want to quit all together.
Now I treat myself a bit like a child. After ten minutes of writing before heading to work, I literally tell myself, "Great job! You did it! Ten minutes!" Feels ridiculous, but it keeps me coming back each day.
