Every journey starts with an intention and an action. We all start somewhere. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m full of great ideas that I never took action towards. I’m a researcher and a perfectionist, so I’ll spend hours researching an idea only to give up on taking action because I fear that I can’t do it perfectly.
I spent years overeating and not exercising because I thought I had to be a nutritionist or body builder to know how to lose weight. “I don’t know what to do, so I just won’t do anything.” Sound familiar? Or I would think that I have to take such a large action that it seemed overwhelming. “I need to sign up for this $500/week plan and then I’ll be able to lose weight.” Does that sound familiar? Feelings of overwhelm are never going to move you along your journey.
I put off writing this blog for years, yes years! I would question if the world needed another voice in the world. Hasn’t everything inspiring already been put out there? I’m not as good as these people who have written books. How can I motivate others if I’m not perfect? Those were the thoughts that filled my head. So instead of taking any action, I just ignored my desire to write and share.
What journey are you putting off starting? Is there a goal that is calling you? How would you like to improve your life and the lives of others? Do you have an outlet for your creative side? Do you feel good in your own body? What can you share with the world? Are you showing up every day as your best self?
Let’s start something today. Can you just move more today? Can you give someone a compliment? Can you love yourself a little more and raise your energy? Can you start the day with the confidence to be authentic and positive? Can you accept the idea that’s it’s ok to not be perfect?
You are amazing and incredible in your own way. You have a purpose that is unique to only you. You have the ability to change the world through your thoughts and actions. You have the freedom to choose how you will show up in the world today and react to whatever shows up.
Let’s start today with a whole new attitude that whatever we do will take us towards a more positive future. Your thoughts right now are creating your future. You only control the present, so let’s take the time to lift up our vibration right now. They say there’s no time like the present, so let’s embrace the now to start something.
