How to ditch procrastination! Start before you’re ready

Hey there, dream chasers! Today, you’re going to start before you’re ready and start ditching procrastination.

Picture this: You’re standing at the edge of a metaphorical cliff. The comfort zone is behind you, and staying there is oh-so-tempting. Ahead of you is a whole world of exciting opportunities waiting for you to dive right in. But it’s unknown. It’s a bit scary. And let’s be honest – most of us would stick to the known path, wouldn’t we?

Procrastination is a trap

Well, that’s where we’re going wrong. You see, the reality is that the known path is just procrastination in a fancy dress. And procrastination, let’s not forget, is fear’s best friend. The two of them together make quite the dynamic duo, constantly working in tandem to stop us from achieving our dreams.

We get stuck in a cycle of learning, studying, planning – but never doing. But here’s the truth: If we’re always preparing but never acting, we’re letting fear win. And even worse, we’re self-sabotaging ourselves. For every moment that we remain stuck in this cycle, opportunities are slipping through our fingers.

So here’s a question for you: Will you regret not doing this thing in ten years?

The answer’s yes!

And here’s a little secret: Regret is a heavyweight load. It puts more pressure on your shoulders than any present effort ever will!

The perfect moment doesn’t exist

Let’s face it: we’re never going to feel 100% ready for the really important things we want to do in life.

So, why are we waiting?

Why are we letting that nagging voice in our heads dictate our actions?

Step out of your comfort zone

Remember, all the most amazing, interesting things happen outside of your comfort zone. That’s the place where you’re never ready. That’s the place where you’re unsure. And yes, that’s where everything’s a little scary. But guess what? That’s exactly where you need to be.

Imagine planting a seed. It’s taken from its comfortable, familiar packet and plunged into the dark, unknown soil. It’s scary and uncomfortable, but the seed starts to grow over time. It adjusts. It pushes through the soil and reaches towards the sunlight. Eventually, it blossoms into a beautiful flower or a mighty tree.

And guess what? We’re just like that seed. When we step outside our comfort zones, it’s uncomfortable at first. But over time, we grow. We adapt. We learn. That scary, unknown place becomes our new comfort zone. And then, guess what we do? We step outside of it again. And again. And again. That’s how we evolve. That’s how we make our dreams come true.

Start before you’re ready

So, don’t wait for the perfect moment. Don’t wait until you’re “ready.” The truth is, you’re as ready now as you’ll ever be. Start before you’re ready. Just take that first step. Write the first word. Paint the first stroke. It doesn’t have to be perfect. It doesn’t even have to be good. It just has to be done.

Let’s embrace the unknown, the unready. Let’s chase our dreams, and let’s do it now because it’s never too late to start before you’re ready.
