On Getting Started When You Don’t Feel Ready

"Don't wait for your feelings to change to take the action. Take the action and your feelings will change." ~ Barbara Baron Here's a great article & blog to follow: On Getting Started When You Don’t Feel Ready I'd also suggest for you to determine your why. What is the motivation for you to do something? Are you trying to lose weight for your health/appearance/etc? Are you going back to school to get a better job? You need to know WHY you're doing something, and the motivation will be there. Hang a picture of your family on the fridge to remind you that your good health is more important than that cherry pie inside, or tuck that same photo in your school backpack so you can look at it when you're struggling in a class & want to quit. You have the power to achieve your goals. Write down your why and take action.

Speak to yourself with a positive voice

"You can motivate players better with kind words than you can with a whip." - Bud Wilkinson

How do you speak to yourself? Do you tell yourself you can't? That you'll never be able to achieve your goals? Why? Do you talk to your family and friends like that? Hopefully not! So, why would you talk to yourself with that negative voice? Make it part of your daily routine to look at yourself in the mirror and say "I love you. You're amazing!" Don't just look in the mirror and pick at all your "flaws". Embrace who you are and your own beauty. It's okay to be proud of yourself, you know. Acknowledge your hard work, and be proud of how far you've come.

"Never let your head hang down. Never give up and sit down and grieve. Find another way." - Satchel Paige
