Have you ever had this? Where you have these lofty goals of doing something or starting a project or accomplishing something that you know needs to be done, but then….you just don’t do anything?
Whatever the reason or whatever you call it, it just sucks!
The big thing for me I think is a fear of failing at something. Take this blog for example…
I said to myself a couple months ago “hey, you know what would be cool? Starting a blog…”
And then nothing happened for a loooooong time.. No writing, no ideas…just fear.
Then I dedicated myself to starting a blog…starting.
Then more fear.
Then I said to myself, “Well, let’s read up on articles or watch videos on how to start one..”
And then more fear. I didn’t want to just dive right in and start doing anything because I guess the perfectionist in me wanted to make sure that I did it right the first time, instead of putting some shit posts out there and seeing that I shouldn’t be writing about this or that or whatever.
So a few more weeks went by..stalking bloggers’ youtube channels, listening to podcasts, hanging out on twitter and instagram…
And now I’m saying fuck it. I’m just going to do it and put my thoughts out there in haphazard order and if it sticks, then it sticks..if it doesn’t there’s always the delete button right?
So here goes..I’m done being a victim of “Paralysis by Analysis.” Because you can spell analysis without the word “anal” and I don’t want to be anal*…
*not sure where that came from, but that’s just the kind of sense of humor I have and I’m not going to edit it out! 🙂
