Hi + Hello

Happy Week 33! Shout out to the folks brave enough to travel across state lines to attend an event solo! That’s not me but I got to meet some of them at an event over the weekend and was reminded that we’re allowed to do what we want when we want! We don’t need permission or a partner in crime! One woman said “I’m tired of waiting for people,” and it’s a sentiment I’ve heard before. Now, in my case, *I’m* the one I’m tired of waiting for, so let me learn this lesson from these angels and get moving towards the people, places, and experiences I want simply because I want to.

🔧 Tips, Tricks, and Tidbits

Demand resistance is when the pressure attached to doing something makes it harder to actually do. You may fully intend to complete a task, understand why it matters, and even want to get it done, but once it starts to feel like something you "have to" do, the anxiety or pressure surrounding it can create a mental roadblock. You might procrastinate until the last possible minute, avoid a relatively simple task for days or weeks, overthink where to start, or repeatedly tell yourself, "I'll do it later," while the unfinished task continues to take up mental space. When this happens, try lowering the barrier to getting started: make the first step almost ridiculously small, give yourself permission to do an imperfect version, create a flexible window rather than a rigid deadline when possible, and/or focus only on what you can accomplish in the next five or ten minutes. Replace "I have to finish this" with "I'm just going to start." Sometimes reducing the weight of the demand is what makes action possible.
