Go and Do the Thing
Sometimes we wait to feel ready , to find motivation, or confidence before we begin.
But often, the feeling we’re waiting for arrives after we start.
Go and do the thing.
Get out your bike.
Go for a run.
Start the piece.
The emotions will follow.
Action is one of the most powerful ways to regulate the mind, to move energy and to release stuck thoughts. You don’t have to feel inspired to begin.
You begin, and emotional reward will follow.
