What if there’s still time?
December 2020. Finally! or Already? Depends on your perspective.
Just checking in with you. Have you stopped pursuing goals that you set way back...you know....before the world changed? Or maybe you've been thinking of something and you can't seem to get started?
If you're thinking that its too late, the year is almost over, I failed etc. I want you to know that it is NEVER too late to take a step in the direction you want to go in. And quite frankly, just one step will make a difference. That can be all it takes to start the ball rolling. Just. One. Step.
This year has been so unusual you may not feel like you've got anything left in the tank to start something or maybe continue something you put on hold.
Here's something to consider: the thing about setting goals is that they give your brain something to do other than just keeping you safe and alive (which is its number one job). Don't give it something to do and it will spend all its energy finding threats to your safety. It will essentially turn every stick you see into a snake.
Give it something else to do, even the smallest of goals and then notice what happens for you. All of a sudden the world seems brighter, you have more energy and there's a whole lot of sticks lying around that you don't even notice anymore. You've got something else to do and that brain of yours will help you to find opportunities to get it.
It is possible to start planning to be where you want to be in 2021. The world has changed but that doesn't mean you can't make it a friendlier place. Your goals may look different then they typically do but that doesn't mean you continue to "wait until"...to pursue them. The time is going to continue to pass regardless of how you spend it. Why not take one step to start working towards something you want.
You'll feel better. I promise.
