Day 46

How do you snap out of inaction paralysis?

There is something I want to do, but I have this block against actually sitting down to do it.

I’ve done some of the work; I just need to press on and follow through with it.

My blocked feeling is much more than procrastinating something I don’t ‘feel’ like doing. There is fear that I recognise but can’t quite define or pinpoint. So my thoughts around doing this thing just loop endlessly, never finding a resolution.

I don’t know how to face this fear, so I have moments of blaming myself for my weakness. I know that’s not helpful or productive. But it’s a cycle I’m trying to climb out of without much success.

Part of this 365-day series is making room to ask myself the hard questions. I want to explore with gentle curiosity why I see and feel things in particular ways.

And if, during this process, I come across something I want to change, I’m going to pause and try to face the fear that prevents me from stepping into who I really am.
