I’ve been thinking a lot about the parallels between my client’s desires to make health changes but not taking the starting steps and my desire to take my business remote but not wanting to be on social media.
A lot of time people are not able to bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be because it feels overwhelming or their confidence is down because they feel like they’ve started and failed one too many times. But another reason is the lack of urgency or importance.
This is the case for me and social media. I had a million other things I could prioritize over posting. Like writing client programs or solving the Wordle.
I’m not frustrated with where I am with my remote business (being in a good spot with business doesn’t help the urgency to be on social) but I know that if I don’t start working towards it now, it’s only going to take longer to be where I truly want it to be. So, having that little talk with myself and (.vs) helped me to be here today.
I guess I’m saying a couple things. Change is change. Whether it’s making a health change or a business change. When you want something to change and are feeling frustrated that you can’t get started with it, asking yourself how important is this change to you and what is the urgency. Those questions might not make you automatically ready to start working towards your change, but if you are truly honest with yourself they might alleviate some of your frustrations. And ironically, being a little less frustrated or resistant might make you more ready to start.
