I pulled this graphic from the Blog of Impossible Things (one of my favorites!)
This message resonates with me especially on days when my journey or path isn’t clear. I’m finding that my biggest obstacle in life is me, and being too much in my head. I can talk myself out of anything.
I recognize the feeling as discomfort. The same feeling I have when I resist the urge to eat more. It’s the same one that tells me not to act, not to participate, and not to make goals and dreams a reality. It can be small from putting off doing the dishes until tomorrow, or not flossing before bed, to not balancing my income and budget. It’s the slight twinge that pulls me back.
And so often I have to stop thinking and just do. Getting out of my head is the best medicine for me. Sometimes I’m so afraid that acting without thought will be the mistake, but inaction is often even worse.
How are you getting out of your head today?
